076*NOR/News Guild Wars 2
Hail*NOR/
Sofija here with some big news from Tyria. Now is the perfect time to visit for the first time or return for those who haven’t visited in a while. Starting this week and each week following, episodes from the previous Living World Seasons are free just for logging in. This week Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 2, “Gates of Maguuma” and “Entanglement” are free with episodes 3 and 4 free next week continuing on throughout the dragon cycle storyline. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-weekly-events-schedule-may-24-may-31/. That’s just the beginning as we can work towards, not only a legendary precursor coming with End of Dragons, but a legendary amulet for completing the new meta achievements introduced with this revisit. And don’t worry if you want to wait to finish the story as these bonus achievements will be permanent.
In addition, if you’re interested in WvW, changes have come to the mist with an update to the Edge of the Mists map allowing Guild vs. Guild battles. Pick your flag and test your combined strength. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/95960-upcoming-changes-to-the-edge-of-the-mists-arena/
We also got a major balance patch last week bringing every class in line in preparation for the new elite skills coming with the new expansion. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/game-update-notes-may-11-2021/. A great time to theory build and try out the new changes to your favorite play-style or start a new one as each class brings new things to PvE, WvW, or PvP.
The future looks bright with lots of cool stuff coming for the summer. July 13th has the return of the Twisted Marionette event from Season 1. So if you came to Tyria after the events of Season 1, we can revisit this awesome boss event and test your mettle. Along with the Marionette, we will be getting the Legendary Armory. This allows you to share your cool legendaries across your family of characters instead of having to visit the bank to swap.
Then we have week long events throughout the summer months. We just had a WvW bonus week. This week starts PvP League Season 27 with a week long bonus to rank gain, reward track progression and magic find. June 1st is Fractal Rush. Run fractals and contribute to the community goal and get cool rewards. June 18th is WvW No Downstate Event, June 22nd is the return of the Dragon Bash festival and experience norn hospitality at its finest. July 5th is sPvP Tournament week and the Tournament of Legends. July 23rd is another WvW bonus week. This all leads to July 27th with a live-stream first-look at End of Dragons and info on the elite-skill beta. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-live-summer-2021/
