Guild Wars 2

Lowry details what it's like to jump back into ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2 after so long an absence.

As ArenaNet celebrates its 10th anniversary of its MMORPG, Guild Wars 2, Robin looks back on her time with the MMO through the years.

Guild Wars 2 is having itself a great year, thanks, especially to its excellent End of Dragons expansion. But getting into an older MMO can be hard for new players. Should you look into getting into Guild Wars 2 in 2022? Here is what Kanishka thinks on the topic.

Last week Robin had the opportunity to preview a couple of End of Dragons maps. Although she was limited on what she could talk about, check out her preview and dive into some of the exciting things she learned and experienced while participating in the preview.

Starting this week, anyone who has a Guild Wars 2 account has access to try out the three new Elite specs coming with the End of Dragons expansion. Robin, one of our resident GW2 experts, hopped into the test to check them out.

It's been 18 months since Guild Wars 2's Icebrood Saga has begun, and now, the climactic conclusion of more than a year of cataclysmic dragon-based danger is finally here. Does The Icebrood Saga: Judgement deliver as the climax of the war against the Elder Dragons?

After a nice break with Wintersday,Robin is all set to pick up the next chapter in Guild Wars 2's Icebrood Saga. The first chapter of episode 5 was a "setting the pieces on the board" episode, which can be interesting, but is often not very exciting. Check out Robin's thoughts on Chapter 2.

Robin checks out the Shadow of the Mad King festival in Guild Wars 2, reminiscing on the festival itself and festivals past.

For a long time, Guild Wars 2 has kept the status quo. With each update, players looked for updates to the WvW experience, or even a unique PvE experience that shirks the status quo of the over churned story seasons. Finally, ArenaNet hit the mark, but have they learned from it?

Today marks the release of Guild Wars 2's fourth episode of the Icebrood Saga, Jormag Rising, which expands Drizzlewood Coast, and adds some new, dangerous events. Drizzlewood Coast was originally released with the third episodes release, No Quarter, which introduced the premise of siege warfare, which previously only resided in WvWvW, to a PvE map. In Jormag Rising, ArenaNet doubles down on that premise.

As we transition into the 2020s, we're taking a look back at some of the more popular MMOs of the 2010s. Join Robin as she explores the impact of Guild Wars 2.

Welcome back as I recap the story of Guild Wars 2 thus far. Last time we left off having found the legendary city of Rata Novus and learned all of the Elder Dragons have a weakness. Which is good to know, but there was no indication of what Mordremoth’s weakness was at all. We also found a trail left by Rox and were hot on her and Rytlock’s heels.

Earlier this week the prologue to Living Story Season 5, Bound by Blood, hit the servers and many players are taking their first steps in the newest chapter in the unfolding Guild Wars 2 story. While the possibilities of what is next flourishes, it’s also an excellent time to continue our look back at the story which we’ve experienced thus far.

ArenaNet should be having a good time. The latest update to the Path of Fire expansion came out, it was universally acclaimed by media and players. They’ve scored a win, and regained momentum. But then… well, then an employee spoke out on Twitter. And then the President made an example of her, and another employee. And now ArenaNet is in the middle of a PR blunder of its own creation.

Many of us sat down with Guild Wars 2’s Path of Flame tests over the past two weekends, and this weekend we got together to hammer out how we felt about the expansion’s early content and elite specs. In short, we’re hopeful. Path of Flame seems like a huge improvement over Heart of Thorns, and in-step with the progress the Living World Season 3 made towards making open world content fun again.
