ArenaNet introduces changes to the WvW of Guild Wars 2

Changes and improvements keep an MMORPG alive and ensure that it remains interesting. Therefore, developers periodically introduce major updates, altering some features.

The MMORPG Guild Wars 2 will introduce some changes to the WvW system with the upcoming expansion Heart of Thorns. These changes include:

• No supplies are required for upgrades anymore.
• The storage capacity for supplies and the size of supply deliveries will be reduced.
• Upgrading no longer costs any gold.
• Individual upgrade options are now grouped into ranks.
• Upgrading to the next rank occurs automatically after a certain period of time.
• There are two ranks for storage and three for all other objectives.
• The higher the rank to which one wishes to upgrade, the longer the upgrade will take.
• With each delivery from a Dolyak caravan, the remaining time will be reduced by a certain amount.
• The time required for a complete upgrade of an objective remains approximately the same.

Additionally, there are these improvements to the WvW upgrade system:

• The number of trait ranks for “Brawler” and “Defense Against Guards” has been reduced from 10 to 5.
• “Applied Valor” and “Applied Strength” have been removed from the trait lines “Defense Against Guards” and “Brawler”.
• Trait lines with a bonus of 1% to 5% now receive a bonus of 2% to 10%.
• The total cost of siege weapon trait lines has been reduced from 75 points to 60 points.
• The total cost of the trait line “Supply Carrying Capacity” has been reduced from 300 points to 145 points.
• “Supply Master” and “Terror of Mercenaries” remain unchanged at 15 points.
• All progress paths for traits with five ranks have been unified and now include 35 points.
• All progress paths for traits with four ranks have been unified and now include 15 points.

So, anyone who enjoys playing in the WvW of the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 and wishes for a little more flair can look forward to the release of the add-on Heart of Thorns, which is set to be released later this year. According to Amazon, this could be the case by the end of June.
