Guild Wars 2

How do you enter the new Beta map areas? I thought I had read thru Silverwastes, but so far not seeing any way to do so.

Did you pre-purchase HoT? If only have the core game and not HoT yet then no you cannot play the Beta. If you DO have HoT pre-purchased then all you need to do is in the Character Choice screen when you first log in is to make a Beta Character in one of the 4 slots available. You cannot take your regular normal character into the HoT beta. You have to wait to Oct 23rd to take your normal regular characters into HoT …. that is if you have it purchased.

Yes, I pre-purchased HoT, but don’t know where to go to enter the new areas.

you have to use beta character slot, go through silverwastes to yellow camp and finish the event, then go to green star, do the personal story and then you can play open world Verdant Brink

Thank you, Mortifer, for providing the information I needed!

You are most welcome

It’s the Blue Man’s return as the Blue Asura!

To elaborate: a “blue man” is an old temp-texture used for open world things, placed to denote to the games’ developers. Various game companies will have their own versions – Anet has used a blue man as well as the backside of a naked man in GW1 and GW2 anti-respectively.

Here’s a portal I found when gliding around. Unfortunately you can’t enter it at this time but I’m wondering where it might lead.

Where is this portal located on the map?
