Guild Wars 2 will soon receive the third season of the living story. In addition to the PvE content, a new PvP map called “Revenge of the Capricorn” will soon be introduced. It features ships, cannons, and pirates!
“Revenge of the Capricorn” does not refer to the cruel revenge campaign of a disenfranchised mountain goat, but to the attack of a pirate ship named “Capricorn”. Players of Guild Wars 2 will surely remember the Capricorn from the PvP map rotation, as one of the maps took place on a pirate ship called Capricorn and the surrounding coastline.
On July 26, the Capricorn will return, and instead of being a drifting backdrop, the pirate ship is now fully armed and mobile. It sails along the coast and spectacularly bombards a settlement on the beach with its cannons! The exact gameplay mechanics of “Revenge of the Capricorn” and what else there is to experience on the map are not yet known. However, the developers at Arenanet have already created a small teaser video of the pirate ship’s attack and published it via Twitter. We have embedded the corresponding tweet here below. Enjoy watching!
What do you think of the regular arena PvP mode of Guild Wars 2? Is it still fun, or has the excitement worn off? Would a new map like Revenge of the Capricorn be a much-needed refresh for the game mode? And which map do you like best in PvP so far? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! And if you would rather continue following the living story in PvE but don’t have the necessary add-on yet, you can still purchase Heart of Thorns at half price for a few more days!
