Living World

The first episode of Living World Season 3, Out of the Shadows, is now available for those who have purchased Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™. Please review our FAQ for details on how to unlock episodes for free.

Out of the Shadows

Following the death of Mordremoth, Tyria finds itself in a never-before-seen heightened state of excess magic. This bounty of power causes an old nemesis to resurface, with a devastating result. Can the heroes stem the enemy's tide, or will Tyria be consumed by this returned threat?

Fractals

New Fractal – Chaos Isles

Dessa's krewe isn't sure if this is cataclysmic or some sort of cycle, but it's super exciting! A new fractal of particularly unique readings has appeared, and the krewe has selected you and your allies as the "explorers" who get to venture into this strange new place.

Fractal Revamps

Like Cliffside, both the Swampland and Snowblind fractals have been revamped to improve pacing, scaling, and overall enjoyment.

Swampland

Swampland was not a particularly long or arduous fractal, but the boss fights were lackluster, and in Bloomhunger's case, far too easy. The change to this fractal was centered around turning Swampland into a proper boss fractal.

• There is now only a single path, rather than both a Mossman and Bloomhunger path, and players will fight both the Mossman and Bloomhunger in a single run.
• Invigorator Rifle Prototypes can now be found in the swamp and can be used to aid in the intro wisp event.
• The underwater portion of the fractal has been removed and replaced by an encounter.
• Bloomhunger is now very angry. His encounter has been fully redesigned with new scaling attacks and mechanics.
• Bloomhunger's health has been greatly reduced.
• Mossman's health has been massively reduced.
• Mossman's hut can be reached after completing the fractal by taking a tunnel in Bloomhunger's clearing.
• Boss chest rewards have been increased.
• Changed the cleft markers in the "Return the wisps to the clefts" event.
• Audio has been improved.

Snowblind

In the Snowblind fractal, there were several pain points that we wanted to address. The intro event was quite simple and boring, the Elemental Source event was frustrating due to a huge health pool and the sheer number of knockbacks, and the final boss fight was tedious yet easy.

• Less running is now required to reach the first event.
• The bonfire event now requires players to add fuel to the fire and defend it from ice elementals.
• The torch bundle has been replaced by a special action skill.
• Repeatedly using the torch skill on the bonfire will no longer accelerate the melting of the ice wall.
• The Elemental Source event has had its mechanics and attacks changed. Keeping fires fueled and lit is now a vital part of defeating it.
• The health scaling of the Elemental Source has been massively reduced.
• More light sources have been added to the dark forest run.
• The boss fight with the Svanir Shaman has been reworked to have better attacks, mechanics, and pacing, and it now provides a greater challenge.
• The Svanir Shaman's health has been greatly reduced.
• The Svanir Shaman now has less repetitive dialog.
• Area-of-effect markers have been improved to be more visible.
• Ambient audio has been improved in the ice cave at the end of the fractal.
• The Elemental Source is now immune to blind.

Fractal Improvements and Bug Fixes

Aetherblade

• Added missing player text in the dialog with Frizz.

Aquatic Ruins

• Increased the damage that cages apply to the Jellyfish Beast and its minions.
• The cages now apply vulnerability and stun to the Jellyfish Beast and its minions and will break its defiance bar.
• Standardized the health and attributes of the dolphin transform.

Cliffside

• Improved damage scaling for Archdiviner's conic attack.
• Heavily reduced damage for Archdiviner's Cursed Grasp attack and added scaling to the pull component of the attack.
• Fixed a bug that allowed the flame gadgets to be attacked at the "Break the chest seal" event.
• The fractal now completes faster after defeating the Archdiviner.

Mistlock Observatory

• Chronicle Mistwalker and the agony tester will now properly appear as the fractal scale changes from the Scale Setting Sequencer.
• Chronicle Mistwalker now has a new icon.

Molten Furnace

• The "Explore the caverns with Rox and Braham" event should now progress more swiftly, with much less time spent waiting on the drill in the tunnel.
• The falling rocks in the tunnel will now only fall a few times before stopping.
• Added a checkpoint at the end of the tunnel.
• Rox and Braham will move faster at the overlook, allowing them to reach the boss room faster.
• Improved scripts for Rox and Braham to reduce the possibility of stalls.
• The final boss chest can now only be looted after defeating the boss.
• Players who stand on top of the thermal core will be burned by the intense heat.

• Subject 6's bounce attack now appears in the combat log.
• Slightly increased the damage and condition damage of all of Subject 6's attacks.
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to lose their Inquest transform.
• Removed a duplicate line of Dessa's dialogue in the Thaumanova Anomaly fight.
• The detonator can now be pressed much earlier in Dessa's dialogue at the beginning of the fractal.
• A checkpoint is now set in the final safe room after defeating the boss in case anyone is left behind.

Underground Facility

• Both bosses in this fractal now utilize a fixation mechanic to allow better control.
• Both bosses will ignore pets, minions, and illusions with most attacks.
• Fixed a bug that allowed the Stealth Bombers achievement to be completed prematurely.

Urban Battleground

• Checkpoints have been added before the final courtyard event.

Volcanic

• The molten boulders will now crush fleeing grawl.
• Added a checkpoint before the Legendary Imbued Shaman.
• Added area-of-effect indicators and made improvements to the falling rocks.
• Updated the Grawl Shaman's Churning Earth attack and the Fleshreaver's Wing Buffet attack to use updated area-of-effect indicators.

General Fractal Changes

Achievements

• Adjusted the daily fractal rotation to include the Chaos fractal.

Anguished Tears of Alba

• The Anguished Tears of Alba was a potion that applied 10 nonstacking agony resistance for a short time. It was not a particularly useful potion, as it required a mastery and did not stack. Now it no longer requires a mastery and will stack with all other sources of agony resistance.
• The Anguished Tears of Alba potions have been moved to the vendor Dessa's Alchemist instead of the mastery vendor in Mistlock Observatory.
• The agony resistance from the Anguished Tears of Alba now stacks with all other sources of agony resistance. For example, a player with 130 AR will have 140 AR after consuming the potion.
• The duration has been increased to 1 hour.
• The potion is highly discounted per account but will increase in price as you buy more until it is no longer discounted.
• If players have the Follows Advice Mastery in the Fractal Attunement line, agony resistance is increased by 15 instead of 10.
• The Anguished Tears of Alba now has a unique blue icon.

Ascended Salvage Kit (5)

• Players can now purchase the Ascended Salvage Kit from BUY-4373 in Mistlock Observatory.
• BUY-4373 can now combine 5 Ascended Salvage Tools into an Ascended Salvage Kit.
• The Ascended Salvage Kit has been added to the expert- and master-tier daily achievement chest loot tables.

Ascended Rings

• Yakkington's Ring, Snaff's Gyre, Marriner's Compass, and Circle of Light can now be attuned.

Fractal Selection UI

• The fractal selection UI for the Fractals of the Mists has been overhauled to be more informative and user friendly.
• The UI now has a new style and increased size.
• Added tabs for navigating between the four difficulty tiers.
• Mistlock instabilities are now shown for each fractal.
• Added text descriptions to each fractal.
• Added indicators for daily fractals.
• Added color-coded text to indicate relative agony danger based on character agony resistance.
• Added the ability to choose a random fractal in a tier.
• Added text to indicate daily achievement fractals.

Infusions and Infusion Slots

With the Infusion system being unnecessarily complex for what it does, we've taken steps to simplify how infusions work and make acquiring them far more straightforward. First off, we removed most of the restrictions on which kind of infusion you can place into each kind of equipment. For balance reasons, we had to keep utility infusions and amulets separate, but all other types of infusions can now be slotted into any kind of ascended equipment.

• Infusion subtypes have been removed.
  • Offensive, defensive, and agony infusions are now simply known as infusions, and any infusion can be slotted into any infusion slot.
  • Utility infusions have been renamed enrichments in order to make them distinct from the other infusions.
• All ascended amulets now have a single enrichment slot.
• All other pieces of ascended equipment now have a number of infusion slots equal to the combined total of offensive, defensive, and agony slots they had previously.
• Next, we wanted to make it less of a hassle to acquire the various kinds of infusions you need to play higher-level fractals.
• A new vendor, INFUZ-5959, has been added to the Mistlock Observatory.
  • You can purchase +3, +5, +7, +9, and +11 agony infusions from INFUZ-5959 directly without the need to use artificing to craft each intermediate stage of infusion.
  • INFUZ-5959 can break some higher-level agony infusions down into their component infusions.
  • INFUZ-5959 also sells new infusions that grant both +5 to a single attribute and +5, +7, or +9 agony resistance.
  • If you have the Follows Advice Mastery, INFUZ-5959 will sell you Vials, Globs, and Shards of Condensed Mist Essence, as well as Agonized Essences and Infusion Extraction Devices.

Finally, after making these changes to the Infusion system, we had some loose ends that needed to be tied up.

• With better attribute and agony infusions now available, we're automatically upgrading any existing infusions that you may have obtained from the Mystic Forge.
  • If you currently possess any fine-quality attribute infusions, they have been upgraded to a +5 attribute, +7 agony resistance infusion.
  • If you currently possess any versatile attribute infusions, they have been upgraded to a +5 attribute, +9 agony resistance infusion.
  • The Mystic Forge recipes for these items have been disabled.
• With the ability to slot +X agony infusions into any infusion slot, the +3, +5, and +7 simple infusions are now obsolete.
  • Currently existing simple infusions will continue to function but cannot be upgraded.
  • Once you have extracted your simple infusions using an Infusion Extraction Device, you can bring them to INFUZ-5959 for recycling and a Fractal Relic refund.
• Ghostly infusions and Moto's Unstable Bauble Infusions now grant +9 agony resistance instead of +5.
• Nonutility infusions that were slotted into amulets will be refunded via in-game mail.

Raids

• Added a new chat command to assist squads in conceding defeat faster. The command instantly applies your currently equipped finisher to yourself. It can only be used in raids.
  • English: /surrender /concede /forfeit /resign
  • Spanish: /rendirse /renunciar /capitular
  • German: /kapitulieren /resignieren /ergeben /aufgeben
  • French: /capituler /abandonner /renoncer /concéder
• The "Protect the caged prisoners" event in Salvation Pass will now unlock the Forsaken Thicket Mastery track.
• The "Siege the Stronghold" event in Stronghold of the Faithful will now unlock the Forsaken Thicket Mastery track.
• The leatherworker Hamil in Lion's Arch now properly gives guidance on upgrading Prototype Envoy armor.

Stronghold of the Faithful

• Xera Encounter
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Charged Bloodstones from acquiring conditions correctly.
  • Fixed an issue in which the island plates would not trigger if a player was standing on them before they activated.
  • Removed erroneous collision from Xera's towers that could cause players to get stuck if they jumped into the towers at the right time.
• Keep Construct Encounter
  • Fixed a server crash.
  • Fixed a rare bug in which the orb-blocking phase was negated entirely.
• Added Mastery points to Stronghold of the Faithful achievements.
• The Itzel Spirit Poison effect is no longer removed when players are downed or defeated.
• Increased the drop rate of Bloodstone-Infused Ectoplasm.

Умения профессий

Элементалист

Для элементалиста в этом обновлении баланса было запланировано несколько целей. Изначально, мы планировали улучшить базовые способности и реализовать пару доработок, которые висели в нашем списке. Мы также планировали немного нормализовать урон и исцеление элементалиста, так как их общий потенциал сразу в обоих направлениях значительно превышал здоровую композицию групп.

• 
   Flamestrike: При успешном попадании по врагу, это умение теперь оставляет после себя заклинание, которое взрывается через 1 секунду. Этот взрыв имеет радиус 90 и наносит одну треть урона от попадания и длительности горения.
• 
   Arc Lightning: Исправлен баг, из-за которого эффекты молнии появлялись не в тех местах.
• 
   Geyser: Исправлен визуальный баг, из-за которого умение, казалось, имеет меньший радиус, чем предполагалось.
• 
   "Eye of the Storm!": Обновлено описание умения, чтобы оно корректно отображало количество затрагиваемых целей.
• 
   Arcane Brilliance: Исправлен баг, из-за которого не срабатывал финал-взрыв, если персонаж находился в воздухе или под водой.
• 
   Lava Font: Увеличена перезарядка этого умения с 6 до 8 секунд во всех режимах игры, кроме PvP.
• 
   Ice Spike: Исправлен баг, из-за которого анимация становилась несинхронизированной, когда это умение использовалось под эффектом проворства или замедления.
• 
   Dragon's Tooth: Исправлен баг, из-за которого анимация становилась несинхронизированной, когда это умение использовалось под эффектом проворства или замедления.

  • Tornado—
    
     Dust Charge: Двигаться в быстром темпе, отталкивая противников.
• 
   Whirlpool: Увеличено количество накладываемых стеков устойчивости с 1 до 2.
• 
   Overload Air: Урон этого умения был уменьшен на 10%.
• 
   Glyph of Elemental Harmony: Базовое исцеление за уровень было увеличено на 33%, а вклад от силы исцеления – на 60%. Время активации этого умения было уменьшено с 1.25 до 1 секунды. Исправлен баг, из-за которого это умение не имело уменьшенную перезарядку, когда работала черта Inscription.
• 
   "Wash the Pain Away!": Базовое исцеление за уровень для этого умения было уменьшено на 33%. Вклад от силы исцеления был увеличен на 150%. Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 25 до 20 секунд во всех режимах игры.

•  Aquamancer's Training: Уменьшение перезарядки с этой черты было снижено с 33% до 20%.
• 25px Inscription: Исправлен баг, из-за которого Glyph of Elemental Harmony и Glyph of Elemental Power имели некорректную перезарядку при воздействии черт. Нормализированы описания умений, чтобы в них не отображались повторяющиеся или неуместные значения благ.
•  Elemental Bastion: Базовые значения исцеления за уровень для этой черты были уменьшены на 33%. Вклад от силы исцеления был увеличен на 10%.
•  Imbued Melodies: Убрана необходимость иметь в руках боевой рог для части этой черты со Sand Squall. Боевой рог все еще требуется для дополнительной длительности благ. Исправлено описание черты, чтобы в нем корректно отображалась перезарядка.
• 
   Shocking Aura: Исправлен баг, из-за которого внутренняя перезарядка Shocking Aura не применялась на поверженных противников.
•  Evasive Arcana: Исправлен баг, из-за которого создаваемые этой чертой умения не работали в воздухе.
•  Elemental Enchantment: Исправлен баг, из-за которого эта черта не уменьшала корректно перезарядки настроек при использовании форсажа Бури.

Инженер

Мы все еще продолжаем оценивать инженера и его специализацию Сборщик. Для базового инженера, нашей целью было улучшить малоиспользуемые способности и скорректировать перезарядки там, где это необходимо. Есть несколько дополнительных мест у Сборщика, которые, как мы чувствовали, нужно изменить для всей игры, но мы также разделили некоторые умения, чтобы смягчить его превосходящее давление в PvP, где это было уместно. Также, улучшения Tornado у элементалиста нашли свое отражение и в элитном умении Elixir X!

• 
   Glue Shot: Хромота теперь применяется при первоначальном попадании снаряда. Длительность обездвиживания была увеличена с 1 до 1.5 секунды. Длительность хромоты была увеличена с 1 до 2 секунд. Исправлен баг, из-за которого увеличение длительности состояний не применялось при использовании черты Chemical Rounds.
• 
   Shock Shield: Урон этого умения был уменьшен на 50%. Отображающийся урон для этого умения теперь соединен воедино вместо отображения для каждого удара отдельно.
• 
   Thunderclap: Это умение больше не наносит урон при первоначальном попадании, но все еще оглушает противников. Урон для всех тактов был увеличен на 26%, для общего увеличения урона на 5%.

   Net Shot: Скорость этого снаряда была увеличен на 50%.
• 
   A.E.D.: Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 40 до 30 секунд.

• 
   Fire Bomb: Длительность горения этого умения была увеличена с 3 до 4 секунд.

• 
   Bulwark Gyro: Уменьшение урона этого умения было снижено с 50% до 33%.

•  Autodefense Bomb Dispenser: Исправлен баг, из-за которого дымовая бомба, выпускаемая этой чертой, попадала в не то место. Дополнительно, исправлен баг, из-за которого эта черта не создавала поле дыма.

Страж

Стражи получили несколько доработок и изменений в их базовых способностях. Нам казалось странным иметь символы, которые включены в самую основу профессии и ее черты, но при этом не иметь символов в билде с каждым оружием. Таким образом, меч и скипетр получили свои символы, а также немного других изменений для улучшения качества жизни. В других областях мы также хотели сделать улучшения качества жизни базового оружия и вспомогательных умений.

• 
   Faithful Strike: Это умение теперь атакует до 3 целей, а исцеляющий аспект срабатывает только при первом ударе. Базовое исцеление за уровень было увеличено на 20%. Вклад исцеления был увеличен на 39%. Радиус исцеления был увеличен со 120 до 180.
• 
   Protector's Strike: В дополнение к выдаче защиты, это умение теперь дает эгиду ближайшим союзникам, когда заканчивается блокированием. Защита больше не накладывается в радиусе, если страж ничего не блокирует.
• 
   Mighty Blow: Это умение больше не подкидывает стража в воздух, теперь на него действуют проворство и замедление, и оно может быть использовано в сочетании с Judge's Intervention.
• 
   Sword Wave: Это умение больше не выпускает снаряды, но вместо этого наносит 3 атаки в ближнем бою под разными углами – все 3 атаки бьют по противникам перед стражем. Количество целей, по которым это умение может попасть, было уменьшено с 5 до 3 за атаку.
• 
   Flashing Blade: Это умение было переименовано в Symbol of Blades и теперь располагает у ног стража символ, давая ярость ближайшим союзникам на 1.5 секунды. Урон изначального попадания был увеличен до нормальных значений символов.
• 
   Zealot's Defense: Скорость снарядов этого умения была увеличена на 33%. Уменьшена вариативность угла запускаемых снарядов на 50%, что улучшает их общую точность.
•  Zealot's Speed: Порог здоровья этой черты был увеличен с 50% до 75%.
• 
   Orb of Wrath: Задержка после активации этого умения была уменьшена на 0.16 секунд. Дальность этого умения была уменьшена с 1200 до 900.
• 
   Smite: Это умение было переименовано в Symbol of Punishment и теперь располагает в выбранном месте символ, который наносит урон в области каждую 1 секунду, дополнительно нанося небольшие карающие атаки. Интервал карающего урона был увеличен с 0.25 до 0.5 секунд и будет существовать пока активен символ (что означает больше ударов при использовании черты Writ of Persistence). Дальность этого умения была уменьшена с 1200 до 900.
• 
   Banish: Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 25 до 18 секунд.
• 
   Signet of Resolve: Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 40 до 35 секунд.
• 
   Sanctuary: Увеличен радиус этого умения со 120 до 180. Увеличено базовое исцеление за такт на 60%. Увеличен вклад от атрибута исцеления на 275%. Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 90 до 75 секунд. Исправлен баг, из-за которого Sanctuary длилось дольше положенного при отсутствии влияния черт. Количество противников, которых может оттолкнуть это умение было уменьшено до 10; Sanctuary исчезнет после того, как оттолкнет 10-го противника.
• 
   Hallowed Ground: Перезарядка этого умения была уменьшена с 80 до 60 секунд. Обновлено описание умения, чтобы оно корректно отражало его функционал.
• 
   Signet of Mercy: Время активации этого умения было уменьшено с 3.75 до 3 секунд. Задержка после активации была уменьшена на 0.25 секунд.
• 
   Shield of Courage: При использовании черты Indomitable Courage, это умение теперь дает устойчивость, когда оно начинается, а не когда завершается.
• 
   Virtue of Resolve: Это умение теперь снимает до 2 состояний со стража. Этот эффект также работает и с Wings of Resolve.
• 
   Spear of Justice: В дополнение к горению, это умение теперь вызывает хромоту у привязанных противников на 1.5 секунды.
•  Communal Defenses: Исправлен баг, из-за которого эгида могла применяться на бесконечное количество целей.
•  Master of Consecrations: Эта черта теперь дает 2 секунды увеличения длительности освящений вместо неоднозначных 20%.
•  Supreme Justice: Аспекты этой черты были объединены с чертой грандмастера Permeating Wrath. В дополнение к поджогу противников в области, эта черта теперь позволяет Virtue of Justice вызывать горение более часто. Увеличение длительности горения было убрано. Эта черта была переименована в Virtuous Solace.
  •  Virtuous Solace: Разместить Merciful Sanctuary в вашем местоположении, когда ваше здоровье достигает порога в 25%. Эта черта работает аналогично Sanctuary и относится к освящениям, но имеет меньшее время работы и немного меньшее значение базового исцеления.
•  Glacial Heart: Перезарядка этой черты была уменьшена с 15 до 10 секунд. Урон этой черты был увеличен на 33%.
•  Heavy Light: Deflecting Shot теперь отталкивает противников на дистанцию в 300 при каждом ударе, без внутренней перезарядки. Дает устойчивость на 6 секунд при отталкивании, отбрасывании или притяжении. Устойчивость имеет внутреннюю перезарядку в 10 секунд.
•  Monk's Focus: Исправлен баг, из-за которого Renewed Focus имело большую перезарядку, чем предполагалось, если игрок входил в поверженное состояние во время активации Renewed Focus.
• 
   Bow of Truth (Command): Увеличено базовое исцеление за попадание на 3, чтобы умение больше не исцеляло на 0 очков при масштабировании в низкоуровневых областях.

Месмер

В этом обновлении месмер получает в основном изменения для базовых вспомогательных умений. Умения Phantasmal Disenchanter и Defender теперь имеют эффекты при активации, чтобы получить немного более мгновенное воздействие и разграничить вспомогательные умения от черты Mental Defense.

Некромант

Некроманты в этом обновлении получают в основном изменения для улучшения качества жизни.

Thief

This update has given a bit more baseline group utility to the thief, without requiring heavy investment via traits. Venomous Aura has been merged into the baseline of the venom utility skills.

Warrior

With the recent defensive upgrades for the warrior, we're still observing and adjusting some numbers to ensure it remains competitive but not so strong that it's unbeatable. We've made a few tweaks to some baseline abilities to ensure that using certain abilities doesn't result in a drop in overall damage where it's not intended.

Upon purchase, Natasha Foxsong will arrive in the guild hall and offer guild members with the new rank permission Change Guild Anthem the ability to select 1 of 15 unique songs as their guild's new anthem.

Upon purchase, Douglas Bird (our resident basic-decorations vendor) and Cullen (our master scribe) will have three new decorations unlock.

These three new decorations are monuments—decorations that have a custom player inscription. When placing a monument, you'll be prompted to enter the inscription, which can be up to 140 characters in length. Once placed, the inscription can be read by interacting with the monument. To change an inscription, the monument must be removed and replaced.

Guilds can only have a total of 50 monuments placed in their guild hall at one time.

Placing and removing monuments requires a new permission: Monument Decorator. Note that the Clear Decorations button, enabled by the Remove All Decorations permission, will also remove monuments.
