Gates of Maguuma gaat vandaag van start in Guild Wars 2

Vanavond gaat het tweede seizoen van de Living World in Guild Wars 2 eindelijk van start. Arenanet gaf ons eerder vandaag alvast een berichtje mee waarin de belangrijkste activiteiten of features van de eerste episode, Gates of Maguuma, opgesomd worden:

The Fall of the Zephyrites
The Zephyrites are in need of your aid! After they departed from the Labyrinthine Cliffs and the festivities there, the Zephyrites met with trouble in the air. You’ll need to find the ship and its inhabitants and figure out what went wrong.

Digging Deeper
Meet up with Marjory, Kasmeer, Braham, Rox, and Taimi and Scruffy to investigate what’s causing such a commotion and how it’s connected to the fallen Zephyr Sanctum. It’ll take courage and no small amount of teamwork to get to the bottom of things!

Against the Inquest
The commotion in the Maguuma region has garnered the attention of the notorious Inquest. As you venture through Dry Top, keep an eye out for Inquest devices and operatives. They’ll stop at nothing to reach their nefarious goals, so you’d best be prepared for a fight!

Elite Achievements

Perform daring feats of valor, strength, and sheer guts to prove your worth and unlock rewards! Read more about the Story Journal feature that’s making all Living World story content permanent!

Rich Rewards
This release brings in a whole passel of new rewards, including new crafting materials.
