The Gathering Storm is now live. It was launched yesterday evening and, after a few false starts, seems to have worked out quite nicely. Anet published another rather extensive list of improvements, changes, fixes and additions, and we’re going to take a quick look at how well these changes have been implemented and things to watch out for when you login to Guild Wars 2 for the next time. I’m not sure exactly how big the new update is, but it didn’t take an awfully long time to download. My guess is that it isn’t quite as big as the Prelude update, although players will obviously want to allow a little time for updating next time they want to play.

The renegades want nothing better than to see the Charr and the Humans continue their battle, and any attempts at a peaceful solution to their differences just cannot be an option. In last week’s Guild Wars 2 diary, we discovered how far the renegades were willing to go to stop an alliance from forming. By killing both human and Charr diplomats and sticking the knife into the hands of one of them, the renegades can ensure the battle will continue and that it’ll be as bloody as ever. If we’re not quick, they’ll be able to pull off their heinous plot and the whole of Tyria will feel the backlash.
