This week, Jason examines why Heart of Thorns taking a long time to come out isn’t such a bad thing, in the long-term.

ArenaNet will be on hand during next week’s E3 convention with something special for Guild Wars 2 players: A first-look at the forthcoming Guild Halls.

ArenaNet has announced that war torn Lion’s Arch will once again shine as the jewel of Tyria when the next Guild Wars 2 update goes live. Said to be heavy on defenses, yet easy on the eyes, Lion’s Arch will also sport several new names submitted by the players.

Some of the greatest heroes in video games have been silent, letting their actions speak for them. Those days are mostly gone now, as a player’s character can now chime in on a conversation. Guild Wars 2’s Living World stepped away from the cut scene conversations, and placed them in game, but our characters stopped talking due to technical limitations. That’s changing with the expansion, as Heart of Thorns will give us our voices back!

ArenaNet has revealed the next legend that will be associated with the new Revenant profession when the Guild Wars 2 expansion, Heart of Thorns, launches later this year. Ventari will become the first Guild Wars 2 profession that will utilize a staff as a melee weapon.

ArenaNet kicked off a new Stronghold public beta event today at 12PM Pacific. The event will run a full 24 hours through to 12PM Pacific tomorrow (19:00 UTC) and includes a host of changes for the upcoming PvP game mode.

The Guild Wars 2 Twitter account recently teased out an image of Ventari, the centaur elder who helped plant the sylvari’s Pale Tree centuries ago. Could this be the next Legend for the Revenant?

This week, Jason puts forth the question of whether we’ll ever see new dungeons in Guild Wars 2, or even if there’s a point to ArenaNet making more of them. Read on for Jason’s full thoughts on the touchy subject.

Today ArenaNet announced that the Stronghold PVP mode will be getting another beta event, for an entire 24 hours from June 2nd at 12pm PDT to June 3rd at 12pm PDT. Read on for details.

Quests have always been a staple for MMOs, and while they do make an appearance in Guild Wars 2, it’s the events that will steer most of your adventuring. The core of Guild Wars 2 introduced the mechanic of the dynamic event, and the Living World experimented with it. Now it’s time to see how HoT will take the concept to the next level.
