WoodenPotatoes discusses the new expansion in a new hour long video. I haven't listened yet but I usually enjoy his analyses.

We have always used the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter account as our primary place to give players updates and information on emergent game issues, among many other things. What made this channel so useful was that it allowed us to communicate quickly and succinctly, and our entire community could see the updates regardless of whether they had a Twitter account.

We are not able to predict how future updates to Twitter's policies may impact our official account's availability, and it's important to us that all players have a reliable source of news about the game, your accounts, and our studio. We will continue to communicate on Twitter like we have previously, but we will make our news and announcements forum our first location for "breaking news" on issues that affect things like the live game service. The Guild Wars 2 forums are visible regardless of registration or login, and we will keep it that way.

You can also keep an eye on our bug forum for regular game bugs, use our dev tracker to keep an eye on official developer posts, or enable notifications in any forum using the "follow" button to stay up to date.

Just showed up in my feed and thought i share it here.

Been playing for almost 10 years and did not know about some of them.

What are some of your favourite areas?

Mine is probably the guitar playing Frog somewhere in HoT. Very nice place to chill out.

Hey all, Metabattle has put the finishing touches on our guide to the new fractal:

As usual, we've tried to pack in as much detail as possible, and it joins our ever-growing guides sections that now cover PvE, PvP and WvW!

The guide will also be updated to include CM mechanics when that arrives.

With the latest expansion announced and that technically this guide was on the books for a few years, I managed to finish it! I had to borrow my husband's account for getting the Griffon mount but I think it was super worth it. Let me know what you think and feel free to share this with anyone/everyone!

My findings so far (purely on fun or not and not about DPS, in open world pve):

• pistol/torch harbinger - feels great and natural

• gs harbinger - feels ok, not adding much to the play style

• hammer fresh air tempest - ok to meh, tbh still feels like two different things on one, but it's better than dealing with spheres

• sword/horn tempest/weaver - fun! Very mobile and many options for different situations

• rifle and scepter daredevil - meh and probably bad, rifle without malice doesn't work for me at all, scepter does not do anything great by itself

• staff deadeye - fun with perma quickness but probably not good at the end of the day

What do you think? But all in all I am happy for revs to finally get rid of hammers.

Hey all. Decided to go through the footage we all made in [WING] and make a cool compilation video. Hope you'll all enjoy! :D

It's something.

Details about the upcoming beta

The fourth expansion for Guild Wars 2 launches on August 22, 2023.

Looks long.
