The Chaos Raiding Open – Special Prize Winners!

This article is about the ''Chaos Raiding Open'' that took place on the 17th of August. You can watch the vod of this epic tournament here! It's been a little over a month since Snow Crows managed to outspeed their competition and win the Chaos Raiding Open! Once again, congratulations to them for pulling it off, but they weren't the only winners! Before the tournament we announced in a news post that there would be additional special prizes that could be earned during the tournament. Unfortunately, we weren't able to select winners for every category that we listed. We've received a fair bit of feedback on this and we're planning to improve this aspect of the competition in future installments of Ready Check Cup. For now here are the winners for the meme prizes!   While every team had a…

The Hardstuck Podcast Ep. 2 – “All aboard the Meta Train”

Missed the live broadcast? Watch the full episode here. Five months ago, the Hardstuck Podcast premiered with an interview with Mightyteapot, the man behind our whole operation. We thought there would be no better ice-breaker into the field of podcasts than to hear how our community came to be from the person that started it all. In case you've missed out on that juicy Hardstuck lore, you can watch the full episode here. Since then, one of the hosts, Will, had to step down indefinitely due to significant changes in his schedule, which left the initiative pending. Now, as we wait for the return of Will, our Lord and Saviour, we've decided to continue this series of laid-back encounters. The Hardstuck Podcast returns this Saturday, January 21 at 18:00 CET • 17:00 GMT • 9:00 PT • 12:00 ET. Tune…

The Legendary Treasure Has Been Found!

9 days after the initial announcement, on June 11th, a secret password was inserted in an even more secret field, and after 162 tries from multiple users, the treasure hunt was conquered! It was a fun project, we released 21 letters, and 8 of them were repetitions. Our evil plan even included releasing red herring in the code and in form of letters H, A, R, S, T, U, and C in the beginning, to make you think the password has something to do with "Hardstuck". In reality, it was nothing like that, the password was: "i am echo of scarlet briar" That's not all! We know how hard the hunt was, 2nd (and only other) person to guess the correct phrase, a treasure hunter named Los, will be rewarded with 250 . We received some good feedback about this contest, and we hope you…

Drift Masters

Ladies and gentlemen, salads and charr... start your engines! It's time to kick off the first Hardstuck beetle racing tournament. The Hardstuck Drift Masters tournament takes place on saturday, May 7th, at 20:00 CEST! Beetle racing is one of the most adrenaline-fueling, heartbeat-raising, crazy insane technical things you can do in Guild Wars 2. And now, you can participate in the action with the Hardstuck Drift Masters, held entirely in the custom built Hardstuck Drift Masters guild hall track. You can start practicing now by joining the practice squad on /sqjoin Hardstuck Eu, and teleporting into the isle of reflection waypoint.

We want everyone to be able to have that experience, and that's why its important that you can race against people of similar skill…
