This Friday, February 14th at 2pm pacific, we will be airing our 5th episode of Ready Up! This time around Jonathan “Chaplan” Sharp and Josh “Grouch” Davis will be providing an update on the glory changes, as well as previewing the newest finisher being added to the game on February 18th. After that, we’ll be joined by Authorized Shoutcaster Jebro to cast a very special scrimmage with some big names in the community along with a few of our developers!

The stream will be live on our twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/guildwars2

Why you won’t want to miss it:
After team picking, the viewers will vote on which team they think will win. If the team they vote on wins, we will increase rank reward by 250 for the weekend. We will do this for every win, up to 750 bonus rank points.

Developer players:
Hugh Norfolk
Karl McLain
Roy Cronacher
Tyler Chapman

Community players:
Wooden Potatoes
Matt Visual
Richie Procopio
Blu
C Caed
C Supcutie

So join us for a fun time and do your part in having a sweet rank-up weekend. Don’t forget, every vote counts! We’ll see you Friday afternoon!

Put Teldo on the list!

It won’t be a Dev vs. community scrim this time around. We’re going to pick captains (likely some top players) and they will pick teams. We expect the devs will be on both teams!

The problem is the game is such a clusterkitten that watching it falls between boring and wtfjusthappened, neither of which are entertaining, especially when a shoutcaster is struggling to explain all the passive procs that took someone from 100%-downed.

I’m sure you guys will be E-sports soon but until than may I suggest not hosting these types of things and sticking to talking about future balance changes.

You have gotten what you paid for, all that remains is biweekly gemshop pushing.

I might not be able to watch it but the rank point weekend sounds great!
And i’d love to hear about what’s going to happen with glory.
Still have 150 of those boosters… but i keep getting them back from daily/monthly and tourny wins. Can they please drop less or get a better use?

Yeah, I know WP’s good and I know Blu’s good.

What makes a team is synergy, both in player mindsets and build

The devs have much more experience in that, but since Allie has informed us of the Playground Captain format, my original fears have been lifted.

I wish they would too because I have class on Fridays when they do the Ready Up. What you can do is go to GW2 Reddit after it’s over and on the front page there will be a summary of the important information.

Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

just being curious… any reason why the dev-stream from jan 31st is still not uploaded in your arenanet youtube channel? Did you stop publishing the streams afterwards? Which would be a pity, in Europe, the stream is live from about 11 pm, which is too late to watch for many ppl, so we kinda rely on the youtube release later on. ;o(

Here’s a list of questions that I’ve either read on forums or came up with. I’m assuming that most of these are probably going to be addressed at today’s stream, but just in case:

-What happens with unopened chests after the 18th March patch ?
-What happens with items from those unopened chests ?
-What happens with mystic forge materials and glory boosters ?
-What happens with our collections ? I distinctly remember a dev hinting something along the lines of completing collections being beneficial in the future. Is that still the case ?
-Will we be able to use PvP armor in PvE ? (tbh. 60 gold for an armor that I could use only in PvP is too steep for my tastes, but I’d open my wallet in a second if I could use it in PvE as well)
-Does cultural armor bought in PvP count towards the Emperor achievement/title ?
-How will we earn new skins with retirement of chests ?
-Will we still have access to Mystic Forge after the patch ?

Edit: I’m curious how this group got picked though. None of them appear to be in the top 100 in NA or EU on Solo Q or Team Q. So was this just popularity?

Comments about today’s Ready Up:

1. The updates: This was really lacking. There were a lot of questions on the forums around what happens with glory boosters, etc. Some of those could have been answered. It would have been good to hear.
2. The matches: I enjoyed watching these. Conquest isn’t the easiest to watch, and the shoutcasters did a good job keeping it entertaining.

Overall, a fun Ready Up. Oh, and I like that grouch and chap kept it more casual. This is a game. Watching something formal is not in the game spirit. Nice job overall.
