Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, quick question. Does anyone know where the entrance to Spirit Vale is going to be? I want to make sure all of my characters have access to it, so I would like to know what the barrier to entry is – do I need to complete to HoT story on each char so they can get in? Or can they just run to the entrance?

For players, I’m wondering if anyone saw this in the beta and had an idea.

For devs, if you have a moment to respond, it would be much appreciated. I want to make sure I’m as ready as possible to run Spirit Vale as soon as it launches.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, will all the people coming to Verdant Brink for the raid be counted toward the map cap after they enter the raid instance?

No, its a separate instance. Its like when you enter dungeons. When you come out you sometimes end up on a different map to the one you entered the dungeon on.

To enter you need to be in a Raid squad (or a leaderless squad). The entrance is located in the North East corner of Verdant Brink just east of the Itzel village.

Is there a way to connect the Creation of a Squad to the LFG? It will be quite messy if 500 People stand around the entrance and try to manage everything via Chat.

I know Raids are meant for Guilds and organized Groups, but PUGs can be organized to a certain degree with the right Tools. I PUGed my way through everything in GW2 since I created my Account during the First Beta 3 Years ago, and never had a real Problem anywhere (not even in higher Fractals).

The only way i can think about it right now is for 2 people to create seperate LFGs:

• Player A: “LF Raid Group, Warrior, Revenant, Guardian, Engineer”
• Player B: “LF Raid Group, Mesmer, Mesmer, Necro, Ranger”

And then after both were filled via the LFG Tool, they fuse together to form the Squad.

Thank you for this! Much appreciated.
