Watch us play ‘Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire’ at 3 p.m Pacific


Guild Wars 2, the MMO from Arena.net, launched its second major expansion, Path of Fire, on September 22. It includes a major expansion to the game’s zones, and new campaign story, new mastery points for end-game character progression and, for the first time in the game’s history, mounts.

Mounts might seem like old news, given that almost every MMO has them, but Arena.net had very specific goals when it implemented them in Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire. There are several different types of mounts, and each of them have a different, unique set of abilities.

We’ll be looking into the new expansion, as well as talking about how it stacks up to other major, recent MMO expansions, such as Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Legion, and Final Fantasy 14.

I have a bone to pick with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D held between fingertips.

Now more than ever, it's clear that AMD needs to release its 3D V-Cache CPUs alongside each new generation. We've gotten accustomed to AMD rolling out its 3D V-Cache offerings shortly after the release of a new generation, but the crowded lineup is getting too much to bear -- and it's making some of AMD's best processors completely irrelevant.

That becomes obvious as you read my Ryzen 7 9800X3D review. The new CPU is, unsurprisingly, the dominant performer in games, outclassing AMD's last-gen Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
