Gearing up for a weekend of EXCESSIVE game time. Amber and I are both off all weekend AND we're off Monday and Tuesday. I'll be firing up the 10% MF when I get home tonight.
I am off tomorrow and yes count me in for some Dungeons and Fractals. Might as well work on completing the monthly! How about we do some of the boss events if possible.
Matrix Cube Key
Defeat the misplaced steam ogre is a level 18 group event in Metrica Province. Players must find the Matrix Cube Key located randomly in the Thaumanova Reactor and infuse it with all four elements located within the reactor. Once fully infused, the player can activate the Master Control Panel Lin39 console in the center of the reactor to disable the barrier and jump down into the hole. Players will land on a floating platform with a button. Pushing the button starts the boss fight.
Finally Found One. You have to check rubble, bushes green crap.
Now we can do this Boss Event as a group for some fun!

Hey fellas,
I realize this topic has come up once before, and unfortunately it's coming up again. It is the topic of possibly going to a different server. Lets be honest - the only reason we moved last time was to play WvW with Todd's friends from GW1. You see how far we got with that.
So, I had a somewhat in-depth conversation with our friend Phantom last night, and I'm feeling like Gate of Madness may be a better home for us. Supposedly that server is much more PvE based. It still has a presence in WvW (because I know we've been enjoying a bit of that from time to time), but they are two more tiers below Yak's right now.
I had asked him to come join us, but his guild currently consists of 90 some ACTIVE players, so it would make more sense for us to move over to that server. Yes, I know, we'll have to build up our influence again. However, I see this as an opportunity for a more lively PvE environment, and an easier time to find more players to accomplish a task (whether it's an open world event or a dungeon).
Ultimately it's up to you guys. If you'd rather stay where we are it's fine. But having a relationship with a much larger group of players can't hurt.
Let me know what you think.

Since I'm not very involved in the inner workings of the guild and influence, that doesn't mean too much to me. Just so long as we stay together.
Jim, don't understand why we would need to move to another server.
They will be implementing Guesting.
Another question how does having another guild of 90 players help «BuA» do PVE? I have used Map Chat for assistance on events sometimes folks come sometimes not!
Anyway not sure the importance of moving and losing Influence.
What happens to all the WvW stuff we have done does that disappear?

I knew you'd be the outspoken one, Taz 
It's difficult to say what situations may arise. I know you have zero interest in playing with anyone but us, but let's face it... If we're going to do ANY Arah path, we need a guide to get us started. If we want to become more knowledgeable in other parts of the game (WvW, PvP, high level fractals, etc.) We need to branch out a little bit beyond our little group. Where do you think I learned all the tricks about dungeons and stuff? By playing with other people. How many nights do we end up doing a bunch of nothing because we have a terrific turn out of 3 or 4 people?
We tried recruiting more people ourselves, it's just not easy since the vast majority are already in large guilds. I think it would be helpful to have a large list of experienced PvE players to pick from when we need another guy. And I'm sure we would get invited if they decide to zerg an open world event like Balthazar or Lyssa.
Aside from having to rebuild our influence again (which really won't take that long), I really don't see a downside while transfers are still free.
What WvW stuff do you speak of?
P.S. Amber and I completed the Temple of Grenth with 1 other guy last night. Mad drops yo!

Not be outspoken and agree with your reply. Would you prefer just joining their guild since it is more established. Are they recruiting? I just like spending time playing with my friends and chatting in TS. We can all stay together and join them if everyone else agrees.

No I don't want to "just join their guild". It would be a secondary guild just like Nova is right now. We would still be BuA - nothing there changes. There may just be a couple new people popping in from time to time.
Cool, we removed a few inactive folks from our Guild. Dev's Associates for the most part. I just switched, all the POI's, Skill Points, Vista's are missing from WvW. dang

You know that's only because you're probably on a different character than the one(s) you got 100% with
If we can't manage time during the week... I say we try to do Arah P3 on Friday and Saturday nights.

Some Nice Updates - 1/28/2013
Here is a nice list.
http://dulfy.net/2013/01/28/gw2-flame-and-frost-patch-update-notes/
Items of Note:
Achievements
A new Living Story achievement category has been added, which will contain a series of achievements specific to the storylines unfolding in Tyria.
The first Living Story achievement, Refugee Volunteer, has been added. Players who complete this achievement by playing the Flame and Frost: Prelude content will be rewarded with the Volunteer title. They will also receive a karma reward via in-game mail.
More achievements will be added as the Living Story continues to unfold.
Events
New Living Story events have been added to Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau.
Guesting
You may not participate in World vs. World for any guest world. If you choose to enter World vs. World, you will be moved back to your home world. Only changing your home world using a world transfer can change your World vs. World participation. (That Sucks)
World Polish looks promising for Events and in Orr.
The Orichalcum vein in Southsun Cove is now a regular vein instead of a rich vein.

Caudecus Manor Path 2 from Strife025
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozF3kCnZFLs
We was wrong in a couple of places but not by much.
Didn't have to fight dog and should have tried left side to bombs.
Don't throw just drop while a few folks run kegs. Mesmer Portal looked important for that part. Wall of Reflection, Spirit Shield. Strife made it look pretty easy. Everyone take a look so we can give it another go this weekend, I mean if your up for it.
Sorrows Embrace Path 2..
