Guild Wars 2

I just want a confirmation on the following really:

Can we access and play the elite specializations in the demo happening on the 11th for PvE?…or is that strictly reserved for the one on 18th along with WvW and PvP?

I am wondering because I wanted to try it out in the PvE demo as well…especially if possible on the DPS golem.

Last time they had a beta they sent out codes through emails. This time they let it out to popular streamers and YouTubers. This year its available to Everyone even if you don’t own HoT. They said the first beta weekend is on the 11th , and that will only include the first story and running around the first core map of Path of Fire ; im assuming. Then they said the week after that is Elite specialization testing. I was kinda hoping it would be on the same day as the first day of Beta Testing on the 11th. but apparently we have to wait 2 weeks. Pretty sure everyone or a large majority of players want to play the new elite classes along with the Mounts instead of just mounts and roaming in a new map.

That does not answer what is being questioned here. You basically repeated what is already known.

The FAQ is not clear in what is being questioned.

Hopefully, a dev will clear it up.

Can you reread what i said and try again. cause i did answer the question. They asked if we are going to be able to use Elite spec in the beta on the 11th and i said no because they planned that for the next week after ..

If the elites were available the first weekend, you bet they’d have said so. The FAQ spells out what is available, and elites aren’t on the list.

When a restaurant menu says “Prime Rib available Sunday afternoons 1-5” one doesn’t really need to ask “So, I’d love to have some Prime Rib on Wednesday, are you offering it then?”

The following was copied/pasted from the FAQ on the help page: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010688287-Guild-Wars-2-Path-of-Fire-FAQ

In the first preview weekend, running August 11-13, players will get a taste of the first open-world map of the expansion and the raptor mount.

In the second preview weekend, running August 18-20, players can create demo characters and play in Player vs. Player or World vs. World with the nine new elite specializations.

I hope this helps,
