The third in a series of Guild Wars 2 World v World Borderland stress tests has been announced for Tuesday, September 8th and set to run through Thursday, September 10th. The number of included players has been significantly increased and potential testers are urged to check email to see if an invitation has arrived.
In addition to the above, a new 'deep dive' article has been published to give WvW fans a look at Guild Objective Claiming.
First, I’ll quickly go over how upgrading a claimed objective works. We’ve added a new piece of UI to WvW called the Objective Upgrades panel. This UI can be accessed either by clicking on an objective’s map marker (on the compass or the world map) or by speaking with a quartermaster at the objective. This panel has two tabs. The first tab displays information relating to the general upgrade level of the objective—a list of which upgrades are currently active—and timers indicating when the next upgrade tier is unlocked.
The second tab manages the guild upgrade system. On the left side of the Guild tab is the guild’s war chest. This is a list of all the objective upgrades that your guild owns. These are unlocked over time and crafted in your guild hall. To the right of the war chest is where we display the guild upgrade tiers. There are two to three tiers per objective (supply camps have two), and each tier offers two upgrade slots.
The post goes on to list the interesting tier upgrades that include supply drops, centaur banners, camps, and much more.
