I can also confirm it's broken! 😉 I can also confirm that we're working on it right now. Sorry about that, we're getting it sorted as fast as we can.

Bug Fixes: Mechanist: Fixed a bug that could cause jade mechs to become stuck in a broken state when downed instead of flying away for repairs. Fixed a server crash.

10/26/2021—Late Notes Profession Skills General Multiplicative damage reduction enhancements have been updated to display how much damage was reduced by rather than displaying how much the damage is multiplied by. For example, protection now displays "-33% Damage" instead of "67% damage." This is not a change to functionality; it is only a change to display the bonus in a more intuitively understandable way. Positive percentage-based enhancements now display with a "+." For example, swiftness now displays "+33% Movement Speed" instead of "33% Movement Speed."

10/26/2021—October 26 Release Notes Beta Event 3 We're excited to begin our third End of Dragons™ Elite Specialization Beta Event, running from October 26 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) through October 30 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). All players will see three new beta character slots appear on the character selection screen that allow them to create and play a fully geared, level-80 beta character of any race for the duration of the weekend. You can use this character in PvE, WvW, and unranked PvP, and any core Tyria or previous expansion map content, including Heart of Thorns™ and Path of Fire™. Maps from the upcoming expansion, End of Dragons, are not available for beta testing. The beta character slots are only accessible during an active beta event and will be deleted between elite specialization beta events. In this beta event, the following three new elite specializations are available for play: Thief—Specter "Join me—the darkness is our ally." The bloodthirsty Panaku had a change of heart as he defended the emperor of Cantha. After this event, he vowed to do more to save and empower those he deemed important. Knowing only the art of assassination, Panaku melded these skills with his shadow magic to create a twisted monstrosity that stole the essence of his enemies in order to bolster himself and his allies. The specter harnesses the power of shadow magic to debilitate enemies and strengthen allies. Enter Shadow Shroud to link with friends and fuel the destruction of your foes. Engineer—Mechanist "All systems go. Mech cleared for launch!" The wonders of jade technology permeate daily life in Cantha. Fusing these new schools of thought with the mechanical techniques and knowledge from the rest of Tyria presents a unique opportunity for a widely traveled engineer. Taimi will be jealous. The mechanist is a dynamic innovator, using their mechanical expertise and advanced Canthan technology to battle alongside a jade mech of their own creation. Customize your mech and use it to crush your enemies—together, you're unstoppable. Ranger—Untamed "Unleashed, unbound—the rage of Echovald Forest lives in us." The traditions and power of the untamed descend from warriors of archaic Echovald. They are one with nature—the pulse of nature beats in their hearts as the relentless rhythm of life and death. The untamed share a primal bond with nature through their pet, juggling control of raw power back and forth to defeat foes—your pet uses debilitating nature-based skills to weaken enemies, then relinquishes that power to you for the final strike. Beta Character Limitations Progress is not carried over from beta characters to live characters. Beta characters cannot participate in ranked PvP matches. Beta characters do not share normal account-wide inventory with nonbeta characters (e.g., wallet, karma, shared inventory slots, bank access). Beta characters cannot access the trading post. Beta characters cannot mail gold or items. Beta characters have access to a copy of your account's Legendary Armory. Legendary items newly added to your Legendary Armory while a beta event is in progress will not be usable by beta characters during that beta event. DirectX 11 Beta Fixed a client crash. Fixed text rendering on some devices. Raids The Key of Ahdashim Fixed an issue with the Cardinal Sabir encounter. Profession Skills Ranger Fixed a bug in which swapping between Build Templates that used the same pet in different pet slots would not work as expected. Soulbeast Fixed a bug in which rapidly entering and exiting water while merged would cause unexpected behavior. Fixed a bug in which mounting immediately after entering or exiting water would cause the pet to become stowed. Thief Black Powder: The blinding effect from this skill is now based off of an attack and will no longer directly apply through evading. The field portion of this skill is now unblockable.

Between October 16-17, an outage prevented players from obtaining skirmish track progress and reward track progress in World vs. World on European servers only. We were able to resolve the issue on Sunday but could not recover the reward progress lost during that time. We apologize for the impact on gameplay during this period. Every player who logged in to Guild Wars 2 on European servers up to eight days prior to the end of the outage on October 17 at 4pm Pacific (UTC-7) will receive 20 WvW Reward Track Potions and 20 WvW Skirmish Tickets via in-game mail. WvW participation is not required for eligibility. There is no need to contact customer support to receive the items. Thank you for your patience while we investigated the issue and worked to resolve it.

Thanks for calling that out @zerothbase.7564, there was a hiccup with the earlier publish of the specter announcement. We're wrangling the site now.

Here is a thread of Canthan written language lessons. It will be added to regularly at least until the end of 2021. Localized threads are here: French German Spanish

As outlined in the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement, account sharing is not permitted under any circumstances. Due to the high potential for abuse in competitive gameplay, your account will be subject to immediate termination for account sharing in, but not limited to, Tournaments or Ranked PvP.

Mark your calendars, more expansion previews are coming your way soon!

We’re continuing to track issues with the DX11 beta and work on fixes. The next game update will include a fix for the issue that’s causing the purple blur in your text boxes. Thank you all for continuing to report issues!

Thank you for the feedback, and we've got you! 🙂 Something we mentioned during Guild Chat is that Shing Jea Island is a bit more quiet and peaceful early on, but that will change as you move forward. We only showed a little bit of the zone.

This is a great thread to read, thank you!

This morning we permanently banned 83 accounts that were identified as participating in match manipulation and/or account sharing in sPvP ranked play or Monthly Automated Tournaments. We are continuing to look into a number of leads related to this, which may result in additional permanent bans for those involved. Banned accounts will be removed from all leaderboards and ladders. For reference, Match manipulation is defined in our Code of Conduct as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a PvP match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other users’ experiences in the Services by not actively participating in good faith (e.g., “griefing” or “leeching”). Going forward, our security team will be monitoring ranked play and automated tournaments even more closely for this behavior and will take swift action as needed. Thank you, The Guild Wars 2 Team

Bug Fixes: Removed an unintended vendor marker from Madame Cookie. Increased the window of time available to successfully make the final jump of the Mad King's Clock Tower activity.

Noooo! I let people know to look into it.

Hello everyone! We know there's a lot to talk about for End of Dragons, and we plan to give you even more to discuss between now and launch! There is also lots going on in the live game, so we've added a temporary End of Dragons subforum for general EoD conversation. (Elite specialization conversations can remain in their relevant profession forums) Once the expansion has launched and is part of the live game, we'll archive this subforum.

We're aware of this and working on a fix!

I let people know and they're looking into it!

I let people know that the wings are doing... whatever that is. 😄 Sorry about that!
