Welcome to the birth of the greatest rock/soul/folk/funk fusion band in history.

Also, we talk Guild Wars 2

Databases have been mined and new items are appearing. What could they be? Will they send you racing to the the gems store like it’s an iPhone launch on Black Friday?

Jonathan Sharp sent pulses racing and imaginations flowing — Guardians on Ice: Kodan Attack — for a split second until it was revealed that the sPvP iceberg in question was only a metaphorical one.

Jonathan “Troll” Sharp went on to explain some very nifty first steps towards eSports for GW2; custom arenas, paid tournaments and more. We talk about what it means for the future of structured PvP.

More patch notes hit and the limit on Karma has been increased. Seeing as it was 1,000,000, why did ArenaNet deem it necessary?

Also professions saw some changes, strap yourself in as one of the crew gets a little emotional.

Speaking of emotional, we take a look at the video ArenaNet prepared on the subject of legendaries in Guild Wars 2. Was it good for you?

Viewer questions round out an insanity laden show for GAMEBREAKER’s Gary Gannon with Massively‘s Richie Procopio and Elisabeth Cardy, as well as ZAM‘s Scott Hawkes.

They may nerf our greatswords, but they’ll never take our GuildCast!

    I love when you guys goof around. So entertaining to watch haha.

    Hmm I would have not guessed Gary to be a Taylor guy….He looks more like a Takamine or Martin guy…

    P.S. For sure do a live road show! Come to Chicago!

    Gary breaks out his guitar and the first commercial is a guitar commercial. Coincidence? I think not.

    Any way to make a segment discussion your personal experiences with dungeons? I heard about AC from you guys but not the other dungeons. I think it would be interesting.

       When this was live someone in chat said “Minstroll”; it made my night.

    My quote from GuildCast 41: “Thief dagger 2 skill got nerfed… so this is what I get when I laughed at Scott’s Guardian getting nerfed last week… man karma’s a pain… …”.

    I guess it works in both directions it seems eh Scott? :P

    One thing with the random appearance item, it could give unique skins that aren’t selectable in customization.  That’d make it quite coveted.

    i love this show and the hosts!

    Liz YOUR FIRED! You said you got one, and I went and spent a shit ton of gold on keys to try for it. YES, you actually said.. YOU GOT ONE!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!

    • Roy Harmon

       Yes! I also did this, although I don’t think we can fire her for it. I may have spent something like $12 on keys because I heard her say she got one, but honestly, the show just wouldn’t be the same without her.

    Man the flashing banner ad is ANNOYING!

  • DoctorOverlord

    T’was a silly episode this time :)   Fun to watch everyone cracking up.  

    but on the subject of annoying laughter, thank god the DR’s crafting station is getting some of the audio removed.   That NPC laughter really got annoying.   A slider for NPC chatter would be great, I’d really like to see that.    I also agree with Richie and Elisabeth on the hidden items not showing up on character select, it’s a little thing but it is nice to see your character appear the way you want.  

    Max camera distance would be nice to get eventually.  

    And it’s good to hear others admitting it might be unlikely they get a legendary, that makes me a feel a bit better lol

    I think the random-makeover potion would be kinda cool for bets.
    Lose a bet ingame?
    Drink it!

    I couldnt think of any use otherwise ^^

    I disagree I wish they’d let us transmutate across armor classes. This game was supposedly based on freedom. Let me play how I want to play and whatnot. So far I can’t overlevel for my personal story, there isn’t any lasting effects I make on the world like they promised, and whoever designed the medium armor class was crap. Light and Heavy look so much better than any of the medium armor pieces in the game until end game. One of the armor pieces literally looks like it was just sown together bits of leather. Garbage.

    I bet Garry brought the guitar just for for trolling on the shows. :P

    My comments regarding your armor skin remarks:

    1. In reply to the comment (Richie’s?) of “texture mapping,” I would like to point out that any character of any profession can “Preview” the armor of any other character in the game who links it in the chat panel. My wife and I previewed a guildmate’s armor on several different characters, male and female. There didn’t appear to be any issues for the armor on any of the various race/gender/class combinations we tried. Which was all of them.

    2. Armor in PvP (I think this was Elizabeth): Really? You’re so good at PvP that you can see a character coming toward you, recognize their armor, identify their class by it, note the weapon they wield, take note of their likely equipped skills, and come up with a counter to those skills… All before engaging said character in combat (presumably one in which those skills are utilized and thereby revealed)? Wow. And all this time, I’ve just been looking at the little icons by their names to know their classes. Is that noobish?

    3. While I wanted to establish the two points above, I agree with your notion of the armor setting the classes apart and giving them a sort of identity. For this reason, I agree that they probably shouldn’t make all armors wearable by all professions. I mean, an elementalist in heavy armor may feel like an Eldritch Knight or something, but really, he’s just a poser.

    I don’t mean to sound harsh, I’m just upset about my greatsword.

    And another thing… Does anyone else find it odd that legendary weapons are supposed to be something that only a relative handful of people will ever obtain, yet there’s a big, empty icon for it at the character selection screen? See, to me, that just screams, “This is something you should try to do! Your character is not complete until you have this item.” It’s right there with joining each of the Orders, completing the world map, and killing enemies in WvW. Perhaps that implies it’s of similar difficulty! I bet I’ll have one by next week. I’ll have to get started now, though. How much for that greatsword precursor on the trading post? Oh…

    I love these people!

    Fun show, but crying about nerfs as a Guardian?! Play a Ranger, my friend, then you’ll know Pain. Then you will know Pain.

    If you don’t believe me, go have a look at the Ranger forums and the sticky Bug List.
