In Guild Wars 2 players are already feeling the first effects of the upcoming expansion Heart of Thorns – the Mordrem are attacking!
New Problems Every Hour
The situation in Guild Wars 2 is getting serious. As previously announced, the Mordrem, servants of the dragon Mordremoth, regularly invade Tyria. The target of the attack is the Brisban Wildlands, the Kessex Hills, and the Dssea Plateau, which are attacked by the enemies every hour (on the half hour). Those who join the fight will be rewarded with Mordrem blooms, which can be exchanged for some unique costumes and miniatures. The number of blooms you get per attack depends on your performance, which can always be monitored in the form of a buff.
The event is only active this weekend, until September 13 – so defeat as many Mordrem as possible. The associated traders will remain in Tyria for a few days longer.
Trust No Wallflower with Two Legs
In a new blog post, the developers talked about a new faction in Heart of Thorns: the Mordrem Watch. These are Sylvari who have bent to their original purpose and now serve the dragon Mordremoth. They disdain the pale tree and the Wylden Hunts, which have held them back from their true purpose for too long.
In the jungle of Maguuma, there will be several commanders of the Sylvari to defeat, who are waiting with powerful spells for their enemies – amusingly, the respawn mechanics have even been integrated into the story: If a member of the Mordrem Watch falls, he is promptly recreated by the dragon, with the same name and task.
The storyline of the expansion definitely promises some exciting twists and intrigues, as not all Sylvari have followed the call of their creator. However, nobody knows how many still secretly live among their former allies and are waiting for a favorable moment for betrayal…
