Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone, I imagine most of you know me already. For those who don’t, I have hosted But of Corpse, a Necromancer podcast, for about 9 months, “lead” the all-necro guild (also called But of Corpse) and am an active poster around here. I wanted to update whoever still follows BoC, and inform any new people about what has been going on and some plans for the future.

First off, the Guild is still “alive” but doesn’t really do anything at the moment. Anyone is welcome to join (NA or EU), just PM me on the forums or in game and I can invite you. If you would like to organize all-Necro type things, I can give you privs to do that. As it is now I don’t generally have the time to organize fun things to do, although I would love to.

On to the podcast. We are currently on a short break, as I move houses to a new room to go to university. This is why we’ve missed the last two weeks, will miss this upcoming week, and may miss the next one. We aren’t gone, but I’ll be too busy to actually put the podcast together. That said, when we come back, I hope to get the community much more involved in what is going on with a weekly forum thread to get ideas and feedback.

As for a general idea, the schedule of the upcoming podcasts we do will (generally) be:
1) Patch
2) Minions (likely multi part)
3) An overview of weapons – like we did with traits
4) An overview of utilities – see above

When the next episode gets released, I’ll open a new thread where you can keep track of what’s going on week by week and give feedback, and also the weekly subject threads for the next podcast.

We will (hopefully) be live today! Planning to go over the preview, and also possibly talk a bit about minions and how I wish they could fix them (greatly inspired by some of the posts ronpierce has made).

2pm PST (in roughly 40 minutes from now), on www.twitch.tv/soacgaming

Good luck with your move dude!

I did a very short update podcast, which will be up on youtube most likely tomorrow morning. Its just 12 minutes or so of me saying what’s been going on and some plans for the podcast going forward.

The real podcasts should resume next week.

Bhawb, could you do a podcast to run over some of the basic patch history? It seems like those dev folks keep tweaking things all over the place and it is difficult to keep up with. Every quarter something major changes the balance. There may be others like me who find it difficult to keep up and some new players arriving without the long, sordid, history to reminisce over.

I could definitely try this, but it’d probably take a while to put together, great idea though.

That’s a great idea actually. You could even have people from thge other profession podcasts do it too, and then get the hosts of all the podcasts together to discuss balance progression in the game. Possibly invite a dev to participate.

BTW you asked for sound feedback: the laptop fan is definitely audible, but it’s not that bad. It’s an improvement over older episodes when there was a lot more background noise, though definitely not as good as in the last episode, when there was no background noise at your end at all.

Bear in mind though, what makes things difficult for the listener isn’t just the audio quality on its own but the discrepancy in volume and clarity when different people are talking. If Tenderly is a lot louder than you are, for example, people are going to adjust their volume so that either your voice is too soft, or Tenderly’s is sounding distorted coming out of their speakers, and either way they can’t hear one of you. That’s where a quick pass over with software like Audacity can really work wonders, though obviously if you insist on doing it live over Twitch you can’t do that.

Hey Bhawb. Would love an invite when you have the time. Thanks!

Same here, is there anyone else we can contact with to enter the guild?

I have been trying to reach anyone within the guild extensively for some time. Could you please pm me when you are available? Thank you

Sorry, I’m not super active in game so I don’t respond quickly. I pretty much just screw around/test stuff at this point (and I rarely rep BoC).

Fannion, you are already in the maximum number of guilds so I couldn’t invite you, but if you clear that up I’d be happy to throw you an invite.
