Guild Wars 2 Stress Test! Kekai Kotaki leaves ArenaNet after 8 years, Colin Johanson is my hero, leaked class changes for Engineer, Guardian, Theif and Warrior (http://pastebin.com/7W07Ltg8 http://pastebin.com/iBz1YjeQ), Gendarran Fields are HUGE (and full of spyders), boring Guild Wars 2.bat map files found and more emails from listeners!

Special thanks to our guest this week Shriggs.

HUGE shout out to MMO-Champion for allowing us to advertise our podcast on their forums!

Lastly, thank you to all of you joining us during our live shows!

First live show!  (Sorry podcasters - title says it all).  Guild Wars 2 IS fun Colin, what is PvE in Guild Wars 2 like, first impressions of Ascalonian Catacombs, why the Mystic Forge sucks...right now, Rangers are better when they are not ranging, and some community stuff!

Special Guest: Zach

Zach started as a fan and has become a good friend to the Searing crew.  We had a blast with him in BWE2 and look forward to spending more time in/out of game with Zach!  It even turns out that he knows his stuff!

Mike Ferguson shares with us some new WvW changes, zomgz I suck at the game - people must be hacking!  Nick soloed WvW, Travis left Nick in the dust in the WvW Mini Dungeon, Team Searing owned in Structured PvP, questions from our listeners, Nick knows his lore, and a HUGE thank you to all the fans that joined us during beta weekend!

Our first official guest from Guild Wars 2 Forums - Vayne, ArenaNet gives us a Beta Breakdown, plenty of beta talk and Travis doesn't hold back.

New wiki pages make their debut in multiple languages, Travis is super good at MMOing, Nick…well, you know, our first ever contest, more lore than usual (hope it's right), and there is one other thing I'm missing…Oh Yeah!  Beta WEEKEND!

Memorial weekend allows GW2ers to actually celebrate the holiday, Leaky forums from ArenaNet beta testers, Guild Wars 2 has a dream, reserve your name you old school Guild Wars fans, Trav and Nicks first interwebz fight (Travis isn't paying attention), Lion Arch has a swim meet (diving of course) and Nick wants to know your thoughts on Cross Server Guild Members.

This weeks Guild Recruitment Spot:

Team Sovereign

Sovereign is predominantly a Player versus Player and World versus World American Guild Wars 2 Guild that bases itself on being on the forefront of what guilds strive to be.  Must be 18 years old and mics are preferred for guild events!

Release date rumors, freakin beta stress test, Travis find a tunnel with no light at the end, Nick PvPinWvW and died a lot (probably), our first call in and some other stuff.

Skyrim is NOT Guild Wars 2 video.

Spoiler Alert:

At 39:33 Travis begins talking about a secret area he found.  Please stop listening at this time if you would like to stay a secret jumping puzzle virgin and begin listening again at 42:30.  For those of you interested in finding this area, check out this link.

The Searing hosts Travis and Nick have been invited to be interviewed on CodeBox Media's podcast!  We will be recording Thursday, May 17th.  We will let you know when and where you can listen in!

Diablo 3 Players:

Travis' gamertag is Neidz#1913

Travis is accused of grunting, Beta testers get another opportunity to complain, dungeons get dynamic with dynamicism, money could possibly buy love, and Nick still has a deep voice (although sometimes goes robotic - thanks Skype).

Lanka's BETA Tips and Tricks

Special thanks to Holy Shatt host Travis Bailey, shout out to our fans, Travis is pregnant, Guild Wars 2 database is live, crafting 101, thou shall not cross this dynamic bridge, and Sir Jumps A Lot.

Also a special shout out to Goshee over at The Tainted Tankard for featuring The Searing as the Community Spotlight this week.  It's an honor!

Introduction with the hosts Travis Neiderhiser and Nick Canada.

We find out that Nick isn't really from Canada, Travis can't pronounce words, exaggerated facts regarding World vs World, Godslost Swamp has been found harboring Shadow Behemoth, a break with no sponsors and a look back into the good ole days.

*Working through software glitches and poor quality mics.  Bare with us please as we make our baby steps into the World of Podcasting.
