GW2: Update Notes Thread

I don't know if it will stay like this, but the new puzzle seperation from WvW is kinda fun. As soon as you zone in, there's a big fight going on and you can spawn indefinitely. Of course, if you want to actually do the jumping puzzle you're pretty much fucked because of those same people camping uplevels, but what you gonna do.

More details on WvW update: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...anges-may-28th

They use infusion slots from normal ascended gear, you’re good! Also they will cost a combination of both laurels and badges (at a discounted laurel cost) but we’re also adding more WvW achievements to the achievement categories to make it easier for WvW players to earn their laurels doing nothing but WvW.

Ascended items and infusions both will cost a less than normal amount of laurels, and a badge cost as well. (Ascended accessories will remain laurels + ecto, but with new WvW rank reward chests you’re going to be getting a lot more Ecto!)

It looks like you finally can play nothing but WvW and get everything you want.

[Kiarax]

Fuck yeah, only just started playing heavily again so laurels were the biggest hurdle for gearing up again. Sucks having to wait a month to get what I want! Hopefully these will be significantly cheaper in terms of laurels.

120 laurels and an entire bank tab of badges = hope the WvW infusions are boss as fuck.

If JSON wasn't a living pain in the ass to work with in Android (Fuck you, StrictMode), I'd totally take advantage of this.

+ Guard damage, + Gold find vs Guards, - Condition duration vs Guards, the possibilities are endless!

Sounds good! I haven't dubVdub'd in forever I JUST WANT SOMETHING TO BUY. FUCK CHAUNCEY.

WvW is getting scrambled up:

[Kachiko]

Thank God for that. Getting locked into certain map areas, without being able to complete World Explorer, really sucked. At least now people should be able to reliably complete it, as well as mixing up who you're fighting more often.

A whole bunch of WvW stuff.

Godly changes.

[Corrderio]

I need to rank up in WvW when I'm back. Though I'd kill for a way to get a preq that isn't a money sink or RNG. Whatever happened to that scavenger hunt idea they pitched awhile back?

It was non-temporary PvE content so was scratched

[Celeras]

Or alternatively: It was pushed back for things that effect more than 1% of the population. Certainly not scratched, though. Its coming.

Doubled wXP and shook up the matchups? Its gon b a dub dub kinda month.

State of the game, may 31st

http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2guru/b/410812694

Highlights:

-New necro DOT, might do more damage in melee range
-Weakness works on critical hits
-Necros will be able to gain more life force
-Ranger pet nerfs(thank god)
-Warriors will be receiving more mobility and ways to snare their target(no dps nerf...? this seems bad)
-New map, jump pads, cannon to shoot the floor and make players drop(LOOKS GODLY), won't be in tournament play at first.
-Mesmer's focus 4(pull thing) will receive a 1 second delay between casting it and being able to pull people
-Improving observer modes
-Saving templates in SPVP

[Corrderio]

What was wrong with hunter pets? I had some people tell me they sucked.

Warrior DPS I don't mare much for, though it is annoying how hard it is to find groups for COF sometimes because people want only Warriors/Mesmers for farming.
