Before you panic, be sure to take a look at all the new updates. This patch in my opinion is the best patch they've released in years. As I can't list all of the updates here as the notes alone are 16,972 words in length. Here's some of the highlights:
Updates to Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns Maps
Heart of Maguuma maps have been updated to make exploration more fun, whether you prefer solo or group play. Mordremoth's forces were driven back from crucial waypoints, adventures are more accessible, new events have been added, and scaling and reward structures have been adjusted to give you more control over how you spend your time in the jungle.
Max-Level Boost
Soar to level 80, and unlock your heroic potential! All players who have purchased Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns will receive one free Max-Level Boost, delivered in a permanent, account-wide inventory slot that's yours to keep. We'll equip your new max-level character with everything they need to join the battle against Mordremoth.
LFG Update—Squad Support and New Categories
Bring your squad into LFG to find new friends to play with in raids and large group content! We've also added new categories and subcategories to help you make connections and refine your search, whether you're hunting for achievements, seeking a mentor, or in need of role-playing companions.
Updates to World vs. World
World vs. World now features reward tracks, letting you make guaranteed progress toward the rewards you want most as you play. Through reward tracks, you can earn tomes of knowledge, crafting materials, and skins, including the new WvW-exclusive Triumphant armor set. We're also creating alliances between low-population worlds, giving them the necessary numbers to go head-to-head with existing high-population worlds.
World Linking (Alliances)
In an effort to help with population imbalances, ArenaNet has linked pairs of servers together matching their playtimes to give each server better coverage. Sanctum of Rall has allied with Dragonbrand and so far things are going well for us.
And much more!

New Family Event Lineup for May 2016
With substantial changes and things about to get a lot grander in scale, I've been playing with the idea of changing up my events a bit for this month. I want to hit the new changes hard and see what we can do to get some new blood in the family. Additionally, aside from the ESO Social Adventure episodes, we aren't getting a lot of traction in viewers or in participants at the moment. I feel my time is better used back in Guild Wars 2 so starting in May I believe I will be placing the Social Adventures Livestream on hold for the time being.
So here's what I have planned to start in may.
- Tue @ 5-6PM PT - Speed Missions in SORC
- Tue @ 6-8PM PT - The Siege War Livestream in Guild Wars 2
- Thu @ 6-8PM PT - New Player World Boss Train - Every other Thursday - Will be running ESO New Player events on off weeks.
- Fri @ 6-8PM PT - ClubGaiscioch in WvW - Part 1 (no-livestream)
- Fri @ 11-1AM - ClubGaiscioch in WvW - Part 2 (no-livestream)
Please note starting in May I will only be running PvE missions on Tuesdays at 5PM. If anyone wants to pick up another missions run time on another day I welcome you to do so. I need to spend my time either with the new players or on the battlefield to bolster our numbers.
Additional Note: Terafer and I will be rotating Tuesdays for the Missions & WvW events. On my off weeks I'll be bringing the Siege War to new lands like ESO, WAR, and eventually BDO. Each week that I'm out of game Tuesday I'll be in game for the New Player Adventures.
Looking for Guild Mission Runners
For more than 2 years I've run Guild Missions 2-3 times per week. I enjoy running them but realize that I need to spend my time on the front lines bringing new blood into the family and also get back to getting people into SORC for our community events. I can't do that if I'm always running missions with my free time. Missions typically are sought after by gw2 veterans that already have committed to a guild. I need to target the new blood.
I'm looking for 1 or 2 people that can help me run Guild Missions off prime time to help build our numbers and give people more options for when they complete them. I can give you instructions on what to do and some pointers. Most of you probably have this process memorized and can do it in your sleep. If your interested please reach out to me so I can get you setup. I'd like to have 3 missions slots each week but I simply can't do them all.
