In the Buy-to-Play fantasy MMO Guild Wars 2, the second episode of the second season of Living World was released on Tuesday. “Devouring” is its name.
The new season of Living World has been received excellently by fans so far. Especially the fans of the backstory (that is, players who really read every dialogue) are fervently discussing what the events in the first episode mean and how the puzzle of clues can be put together into a coherent mosaic. Some talk about the mysterious Sylvari becoming dominant figures of the second season, while others believe one of the Elder Dragons will play a huge role. Just the thorough examination of the former youth room of the legendary champion Scarlet Briar gave some fans enough material to ponder, waking their inner Sherlock Holmes.
In the second episode, the vines known from the trailer are causing trouble, attacking waypoints and even invading the homeland. Players can dive headfirst into the episode, experience the story, and face new challenges. Once logged in, they unlock this part of the Living Story for all their characters, allowing them to rewatch it anytime, just like rewatching their favorite TV series, to perhaps find the crucial pieces of the puzzle this time.
The third episode will start on July 29, and the fourth episode on August 12, before it goes on a break.
