A RAINBOW COLORED NORN SPOILER BOUNCER STEPS UP AND INFORMS YOU THAT WE DISCUSS THE REMAINDER OF THE STORY FOR THE LATEST LIVING WORLD CHAPTER. Congrats to Guild Wars Reporter on their 200th Episode! We apologize for our lack of submitted audio, we are bad at podcasting.

A Burly Spoiler Bouncer steps up and says: "IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT THE STORY OF LIVING WORLD SEASON 3."

Spoilers Warning: Raid Story Wing 3 Topics: Out of the Shadows Taimi’s Journals (Go read them!) Notes from Rata Novus - One,Two, Three Taimi has a ley line map like in the HoT story, and magic is going crazy pants bonkers but there might be a discernable pattern, Plant Plant gets trampled by some awful Phlunts, Rata Sum has discovered Rata Novus WINDALL Taimi isn’t sleeping and rambles a lot, there is a LOT of information on Primordus and Kralkatorrik in particular here, either is a possible target, but I think it’s all but confirmed at this point we’ll be going after kralkatorrik just based on how the game has progressed over the last few years Interview with Queen Jennah Trailer?????????????

BIG SPOILER BOUNCER SAYS: In this episode we talk about the new Raid Wing. We use the bosses' names and discuss some of the fight mechanics and terrain but do not delve into the lore beyond the names.

In which Greibach loses track of the episode number, Spirit can't articulate very well, and Vrabin gets real excited about BANDITS. BIG SPOILER BOUNCER SAYS: In this episode we draw on lore from all over the game, including Personal Story and Living Story, Dungeons, Raids 1 and 2, Guild Wars 1 pretty much all at once to discuss the bandit storyline. If you have major concerns about any of these being spoiled for you, proceed only with extreme caution. Mail TIIIME Greibach! Spirit! You adorable ragamuffins! Hail my friends, it’s Old Timey Fend. You know, from Tyria? Anywho, I was just preparin’ a heaping bowl of my famous Meaty Wurm Surprise when a question came to mind. Sadly, that question almost immediately disappeared into the inky blackness of Old Timey’s mind-hole, but then I spotted a band of roaming bandits out my wind-er and it got me thinking: With all the hubbub about the White Mantle makin’ a comeback, do you think we’ll be seein’ (or slayin’) any of those darn Mur-sits anytime soon?

Fractal revamp, 1 week postmortem- I thought rewards were good because I got real lucky day 1. Have gotten garbage every day since =( The worst part is that on a lot of days I get the same or less gold as Swamps gave but it takes probably twice as long. Some high level fractals are just obnoxious still, doubly so with PUGs. IMO- Aetherblade can be especially bad, snowblind is still not great though the final boss of it is easy but has 10 billion HP, Thaumanova is unfun. Most of the rest are alright though. Overall it’s probably the right direction, but it just reminds me how annoying some stuff still is. WvW Poll: https://feedback.guildwars2.com/en

Greibach and Spirit are joined by Opt to attempt to cover what turned out to be a really great patch all around. Updates to fractals, a new raid lobby and DPS testing arena, WvW changes, squad changes, LFG changes and 30 more pages of updates notes to cover. Topics (mostly) in order: Raid Lobby and DPS Testing Arena Fractals Dailies WvW Changes Instant 80 and Free Account Slot for HoT owners Balance Patch and Profession Changes We didn't have time to cover all the changes so we'll pick up with a few more things next time after we've had more time to play. Hope you've all enjoyed the patch! ~Spirit

Spirit, Greibach, and Vrabin share anecdotes of legendaries, Super Adventures and various other things since there is minimal official news in the time leading up to the patch. Legendary Discussion - Nevermore and Astralaria SAB - Tribulation MODE THO Upcoming April Patch??? Castcast Toga Party for MS Details - April 16th @ Noon Central in Divinity's Reach Few brief updates I didn't get to include in the show: There is a (tiny) teaser trailer for the (now confirmed) April 19th patch. There was a potentially big leak of WvW patch notes on the reddit. We do not condone nor share leaks, so if you wish to see those, you must find them yourself. However, Spirit thinks the fact that leaks are appearing in the face of no word on upcoming content from developers is a result of the policy itself and hence worth mentioning. Work continues on the Pen and Paper game, don't worry guys! We decided to finish the first set of recordings before releasing them, we have another session coming up in the next couple weeks and
