Update - June 6, 2023[edit]

Dragon Bash Festival[edit]

It's time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn't be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be racing, food, song, tests of strength, and—most importantly—ale.

I'll see you there. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy fun.

General[edit]

  • A new general game option, Hide Ally Visual Effects, has been added. This allows players to hide many of the visual effects created by other players who are on their team. It has three levels of fidelity: all players, all players outside party, and all players outside squad.
    • It is located in the Options menu under General Options, then Groups.
    • This does not hide effects created by enemy players. For example, in WvW or PvP scenarios, players on opposing teams will display all their effects, regardless of these settings.
    • Some ally effects are exempted from the option. In particular, any group healing or boon area-of-effect skills will still be visible. Some combo field skills are exempted as well.
    • The intent of this option is to improve game performance, accessibility, and visual clarity in high-population gameplay scenarios.
  • Loading time to reach character selection has been improved.
  • Standardized the achievement background color of the "What Lies Within" achievement list to match the other Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons achievements.

World vs. World[edit]

Structured Player vs. Player[edit]

World Polish[edit]

  • Fixed an issue that caused the jade behemoth to remain stunned and unresponsive after the final meta-event if the ravenous wanderer's final phase lasted longer than the jade behemoth's attack cycle.
  • Intensified the damage reduction provided to the ravenous wanderer by its Haze-Made Form protective effect.
  • Removed the jade power charge cost from the air filter vendors in Gyala Delve. Text referencing this cost will be updated in a later release.

  • Rama's incantation will now finish fully before the next dialogue plays in "What Lies Within."
  • Rama will also beckon players who are not the instance owner during the Full Circle story chapter of "What Lies Within."

  • The ravenous wanderer now lurks and unlurks properly during "What Lies Within."
  • Characters other than the party leader will no longer speak during the Full Circle story chapter of "What Lies Within."
  • Story lore conversations are now visible to players who are not the party leader.
