![]() This special beta event will run from the time our November 28 build goes live-around 9:00 a.m. Speaking of November 28-this is also an important day because you will get your first chance to try out a new weapon on your favorite profession! While this Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure feature will launch during our second major expansion update in early 2024, we’re giving all players a chance to demo the expanded weapon proficiencies early to test them and provide feedback. As always, we appreciate your feedback beforehand, and we’ll be watching carefully when the changes ship so we can see how things evolve. We’ll be sharing a preview of those changes, plus the new relics we just mentioned, this Friday, October 27, on our Twitch channel. Not too long after the release of “Through the Veil,” you can look forward to a skills and balance update on November 28. We’ll continue to expand the build options available to players through additional relics with the other two updates to follow. And the rewards from the inaugural season aren’t going away: this release will add a Legacy Rewards tab, where all the exclusive cosmetic rewards from previous seasons will remain available (although at a slightly higher cost due to being out of season).Īs you already read in the table above, six additional expansion relics will be available starting November 7. ![]() The upcoming season of the Wizard’s Vault features an additional three unique armor pieces (to complement the three pieces from the season that’s about to end), a new infusion, a weapon set color variant, and more. And you can then spend that Astral Acclaim on an updated roster of rewards! New seasons bring a new series of special objectives to complete for astral acclaim, which will all carry over. You can also earn an unstable Kryptis motivation each week by participating in a Convergence.Įach major expansion release comes with a Wizard’s Vault refresh (if you’re just catching up with Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, you can find more details on the Wizard’s Vault here). The public version of Convergences operates on a timer, while squads can open Convergences on demand with unstable Kryptis motivations acquired from tier 2 and tier 3 bounties. There are no waypoints in the hostile territory you’ll strike into it’ll take coordination between players to keep yourselves and your allies alive long enough to complete your objective and take out the legendary Kryptis lurking in each Convergence. Together with fellow Rift Hunters, you’ll open up a portal into the home realm of the Kryptis, where you’ll need to have your weapons at the ready and your wits about you. The new story will introduce you to the concept of Convergences and unlock the associated Inner Nayos Mastery track. Get ready, Rift Hunters! We’re excited to take demon hunting to a whole new level with Convergences, which are public or squad-based forays into enemy territory. An additional six will be implemented with “Through the Veil,” completing the Rift Hunting map rotation. New Weapon Proficiency for Each Professionġ2 Secrets of the Obscure-Exclusive RelicsĪvailable in Secrets of the Obscure Maps and a Rotation of 12 Existing MapsĮagle-eyed observers will notice that the only real change from last time is that we moved up some items: we previously thought we’d need to add a few additional maps to the Rift Hunting rotation with each of the releases, but we were able to include six new maps to the rotation with the September 26 build. In fact, to make it simple, here’s the chart we shared at launch that shows our plans for each Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure update. In addition to new story chapters and the opening of the third map, the Cosmic Observatory Strike Mission Challenge Mode and the Oneiros-Spun armor set will also be released on November 7. ![]() For folks who have already played the launch story (or want a glimpse of it), we’ve put together a little refresher on some of the key moments that have led to our situation at the start of “Through the Veil.” If you haven’t gotten a chance to play yet, you’ve got about two weeks to get caught up on the story so far and get ready for the next installment. ![]() In ‘Through the Veil,’ three new story chapters will pick up where the launch story concluded and continue the adventure as you take your first brave steps into a new world: Nayos, the Realm of Dreams. As you may remember from previous update blogs and our expansion announcement, anyone who owns Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure will have full and permanent access to all new expansion content. “Through the Veil,” the first of three major updates to Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, is coming on November 7. The launch of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure™ has filled the skies of Tyria with skyscales, Halloween is in full swing, and we’re back with another update on all things Guild Wars 2. ![]()
