Guild Wars 2 community leader Martin Kerstein is up to his old tricks again.

Yesterday, he stopped by the official Guild Wars 2 forums to let players know that the November event previously teased - The Lost Shores - is coming, and posted a schedule to prove it! Everything kicks off next Friday:

• On Friday November 16th at noon PST (20:00 GMT) the weekend will kick off with an Event in Lion’s Arch that you don’t want to miss. This will trigger events in other parts of Tyria as well.
• 
On Saturday November 17th at noon PST (20:00 GMT), another phase will kick in.
Each phase is triggered by a special event, but you will be able to enjoy additional content afterwards even if you cannot make the kick-off time. 

Mad King Thorn had barely packed his bags, and already whispers of yet another new content patch are emerging.  Well, not so much whispers as a shout from the rooftops of Lion's Arch! 

ArenaNet has announced The Lost Shores, an all-new content patch schedule for this month, November 2012. What's more, it looks like little in-game hints and teasers have already been cropping up! Read on, adventurers…

From the patcher: Here's a sneak peek at the Game Update Notes. These notes may or may not change by the Game Update is live.

*** Highlights ***

- Many of Old Man McKenzie's items have faded from memory.  If you have one of these faded items, give them to the Old Man in Plane of Knowledge and he will return your Brews.  If you had augments in these items, be sure to put them in bags before you zone.

From the patcher:

*** Highlights ***

- Buffs that have a levitation effect are no longer stripped when you enter zones marked as no-levitate. When you enter a no-levitate zone, you will receive a message that the levitation effect has been disabled. Additional effects provided by the buffs (if any) will remain enabled. This means that levitation buffs that have other effects connected to them (i.e. Spirit of the Eagle's speed boost effect) can now be used in a no-levitate zone.

- The armor sets for Seeds of Destruction have been modified to improve the balance of stats for the individual pieces while adding more consistency within the sets. Some of the changes include an improved consistency between chaos" and "order" sets, the addition of Focus Effects to Tier 3 Raid breastplates, the addition of Slot 15 to Tier 3 and 4 for group and raid armor, and the improvement of the Heroic stats.
