Guild Wars 2

The gate hub is now located in Vigil Keep. It works exactly the same as before, except now you connect through Vigil Keep instead of Lion’s.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Not having crafting stations, a laurel merchant, and a trait retrainer at the new “hub” is unacceptable. This needs to be fixed.

Nothing has been definitively stated that Vigil Keep will be the new hub though. It was stated that ‘essential’ services would be moved there temporarily. Following the basic logic of a surprise attack and ensuing siege, obviously not everything can be migrated. It makes sense that an actual hub may not be re-established in a permanent location until after things settle down. Whether that ends up being reclaiming and rebuilding lions arch, building the current location into a hub, or looking at setting up a permanent base somewhere else entirely. How things are currently set up does help with immersion as it does follow a logical “omg we got hit by an attack we weren’t prepared for” event.

Please note that I am leaving the air ship completely out of the equation here, since it is a purchased convenience item.

I take it you haven’t actually logged in to look at the changes?

The gates in all the cities (and the Heart of the Mists) still work, they just take you to the Vigil Keep instead.

All the game features, services etc. that were in LA have been preserved.

Sherburne.2874:

…or spend the money to used the already overpriced way points. Nice way of creating a new drain on the already depressed GW2 economy.

They cost about 3 silver at max. The WP costs are dirt cheap in this game.

Hi

That was some awesome update!!!!

OK, its a Zerg Fest, OK, its a grind event fest, OK, lots of overflows, OK lots of bugs.

BUT THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

The map is fantastic, u can pretty much decide on what to do next, the back piece is not a “must” and its evolution concept is very nice, so each one can decide how much effort they want to put it, without having “all or nothing”. AWESOME!

Lots os stuff to do, screenshoting, zerg, small group, rubber hunter, escorts, champions, very awesome!!!

AND! no talk, just action! after edge of the mists, were all info piece were st together, an all-out map fighting is AWESOME!!!!

nice =D

People are so eager to ruin the experience for themselves by raging over the most insignificant things. Get over it and enjoy the content, your frustration is nothing but self-inflicted.

The city got invaded and blown up; expecting to get a perfect replacement for it right away is unfounded. Hell, I’m even somewhat disappointed by the fact that the damage wasn’t greater (that is, I would’ve like for us to completely evacuate to other cities until the settlement at Vigil Keep was opened in a coming patch).

Get on with the program and enjoy the content.

Anyone else notice that after an invasion the ogre in Lonar’s Pass will remember you saved him and give you a buff if you did the event? Bravo A-Net it’s this detail that really strikes me!

From the description it is simply another version of the Royal Terrace. Purely a convenience area.

No.
They are offering something like the Royal Terrace in DR over the Vigils Keep.

The other things will be available for free at the Keep.

It’s the same thing with the Royal Terrace. Just an airship this time. It’s still all available at Vigil Keep for free.

Just have to know where to go.

All of the above?

Vashoom.8512:

I’ve not got any of these items, are they supposed to be mailed to us or something?

You have to “buy” it through TP, but they have a 0 gem price.

It is in the tradepost, advertised as a limited offer. It clearly says 1 per customer and it clearly says 0 gems in the price. This means that it is not a bug. If this was not meant to be (wich I seriously doubt), it is fully Arenanet’s fault.

Inother words, don’t woryy, and don’t believe everything you hear in mapchat.
