The Edge of the Mists is the release launched on February 4, 2014. This release introduces the chapter two of the four living world season final chapters with the new World vs World map, Edge of the Mists, that is able to create overflow instances. This means players no longer have to wait to play WvW, regardless of the number of players attempting to play. This release also features an overhaul of the WvW UI with the redesign of the queue to enter World versus World.
