Citat:
The situation worsens for the citizens of Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. Volunteers have eased the burden, but more refugees hobble down from the Shiverpeaks. The storm there gains momentum, but the forces of good are beginning to rally. They’re sending their heroes to defend the land and its peoples. Someone must hold back the gathering storm.
In Flame and Frost: The Gathering Storm, the second installment in this four-part series, the stakes are raised, and battles rage, in the foothills of the Shiverpeaks.
NEW FEATURES
New sPvP Arena: Spirit Watch – A new sPvP arena based around the shrines of the Norn Spirits of the Wild. The mechanic in this new map involves an Orb of Ascension, which will give bonus points when delivered to a control point in a capture the flag/domination mashup.
Guild Missions – This new form of content sounds similar in function to dailies and monthlies, but it’s focused around group play instead of individual. Guilds will be given missions including tasks such as bounties, puzzles, or other group challenges and earn guild merits, used for unlocking upgrades and rewards.
Two Team Rated Play in sPvP - We’ve had matchmaking for individual players since launch through the hot join system in sPvP, but now ArenaNet is adding a similar service for matching teams based on average player rating, giving sPvP groups another option outside of tournaments for playing together.
Choose Your Own Daily Achievements – Not satisfied with fixing Guild Wars 2 dailies once, the daily achievement system will be changed again to allow players to select which achievements they want to do, opening up more opportunities for different styles of play.
Preview Items in the Trading Post - Try before you buy! You’ll have the ability to preview items in the Trading Post before you buy them. Simply right-click an item icon and select “Preview” to see the item equipped on your character. Check out how a weapon looks by itself, how it looks when sheathed, and how it looks when wielded by your character.
