in News & Features Discussion

ArenaNet and the Guild Wars 2 team are ready to take the wraps off  the Edge of the Mists map that players will discover alongside the Aetherblade, minions of arch-nemesis, Scarlet Briar. The video gives players an inside look at the Edge of the Mists WVW map and includes a glimpse of crumbling edifices, ice-covered mountains, banks of impenetrable clouds and more.

The Aetherblades, dreaded sky pirates of Tyria, have also discovered the “Edge of the Mists.” Minions of Scarlet, the Aetherblades have descended from their airships.  Although their true aims in this virgin territory of Tyria remain unknown, what’s certain is that they’re ready to take on any newcomers.

    Interesting.

    I like the map design, but want to know more about what this actually is going to be before I get all hyped up about it. Afterall southsun looked amazing, and was a complete dud. The zephyrites area was really cool, but also ultimately pointless.

    I hope this is actually evolving into something meaningful, and is not going to be just another fluff piece. Though given GW2's current trend, I'm not optimistic. I really like the game, but I really want to see them start to make more permanent changes. Here's to hoping for that I guess.

    GW2's areas look amazing. That's one reason I played for so long.

    RIght now, the new map will be used for the WVW overflow, which happens a LOT in WvW. So it will be the place you fight and progress your character in WVW while you wait to join the EB.  But it's also serving as a "testing" ground for new WVW additions and map changes.  I don't think it'll have an overall affect on actual WVW scores.  Mainly, it's going to be a fun and more compact map for players to play on while waiting to join the EB.  

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    Glad to see the team at ANet finally addressing big problems the community has been asking of them.
