Since yesterday, the new patch for Guild Wars 2 is playable, and thus the “Living World” story finally continues – Season 2, Episode 5 is upon us!
New Area: The Silverwastes
The old dragon Mordremeth has awakened, and his influence continues to grow, as do his forces. The Pact strives to mobilize its own troops and assembles in the Silverwastes, a new area of the Maguuma Wastes that is considerably closer to the enemy’s center. In the “Camp of Tenacity,” players can sign up and will be dispatched from there to hold strategic points and gradually reclaim ground – and especially to not lose it directly back to the enemies.
New Marks, New Armor, and a New Set
In the battles in the Silverwastes, players will be rewarded with plenty of badges, which are called “Bandit Crests” this time. As usual, these can be exchanged at the camp for equipment, recipes, and crafting materials.
To keep players engaged with Tyria in the long term, a new set for each armor class is introduced simultaneously – but only the first piece. The shoulder pieces of the “Carapax Armor” can be obtained now, while the other parts will probably take a while longer to arrive. Additionally, there will be a way in the Silverwastes to upgrade this new set, turning it into a “luminescent set.” What exactly needs to be done for that, you’ll have to find out for yourselves!
A stylish trailer is, of course, released by ArenaNet, which you can check out here:
