Following the addition of the Punishment episode which ended the last season of the living world, the epic of Frost, ArenaNet has chosen to continue its efforts by offering many events during the summer and to make you wait in waiting for the release of the next extension of Guild Wars 2 : End Of Dragons.
Even if we don't yet know the release date of this new extension, the studio has planned many "things" in the coming months and it starts in May with two impactful updates. First of all, the 11 May, Guild Wars 2 will undergo an important update on the gameplay of the classes where many changes will be made on the skills and the balancing of the game. We will note for example changes on the advantages / alterations as well as quite extensive modifications on specializations to make them more interesting to players. It is very likely that we will see the emergence of new metas that will arrive on the game regardless of the content played.
If you followed the last season of Living World, you are certainly missing a lot of information regarding this war against the ancient dragons. To prepare the extension well and also to thank the players, ArenaNet will offer dice the 25 May to catch up on previous Living World seasons for free. You will be able to obtain a precursor to the new expansion, if you complete the new achievements of seasons 2 and 3, as well as a legendary amulet if you have completed all the meta-achievements of the playable seasons.
The studio's next move will be the July 13 featuring the return of an old player-favorite event: the Crank Puppet. If you don't know this, know that it was the event that closed the end of Living World season 1 and the events related to Scarlet Heather. On the same update, we will especially find one of the features that seems to me to be one of the most interesting since the game was released: the legendary armory. This feature will make all your legendary items accessible to all your characters, which will give players who have lost many hours creating these items some flexibility by systematically avoiding going through the bank.
Throughout the period from May to July, many one-time events will take place in the game to allow you to win many rewards and experience points:
- May 14: one week bonus in World vs. World
- May 25: PvP league season 27 and one week bonus
- June 1: fractal race
- June 18: World vs. World event No “Down” status
- June 22: the dragon fair
- July the 5th : week of pvp tournaments and legends
- July the 23th : one week bonus in World vs. World
