Guild Wars 2 is still going strong and those still playing are about to be greeted with a ton of new content alongside a heavy dose of nostalgia. Today, ArenaNet announced Path of Fire, Guild Wars 2’s second expansion, which aside from adding all new content, will also bring back two zones from the original Guild Wars.
Path of Fire will take players back to a familiar location- the Crystal Desert region, which appeared in the original Guild Wars. On top of that, you will also be able to return to Elon, which was the focus of the Guild Wars: Nightfall expansion. In total, there will be five new open-world zones to explore alongside nine new elite specialisations for characters.
Here is the synopsis for this expansion: “Balthazar, the human god of war and fire, threatens the Crystal Desert and adjoining kingdom of Elona with his Forged legions. Players saw through the course of Living World Season 3 that Balthazar is determined to hunt Elder Dragons–and now he and his armies have invaded the desert to do just that. Now, Tyria's fate hangs by a thread as players race to the desert to hunt down the rogue god before he can do any more damage to the delicate balance of magic.”
The Path of Fire expansion on its own will cost $30 and will be available from the 22nd of September. According to ArenaNet, this expansion is very heavy on content, so there should be a lot for players to sink into. If you don’t already own Guild Wars 2, then you can get the base game and expansion bundle for $50.
KitGuru Says: I didn’t manage to get into Guild Wars 2 but I did thoroughly enjoy Guild Wars 1 back in the day. Do many of you play Guild Wars 2? Will you be jumping back in for this new expansion?
I play from time to time but I don’t have got the 1st expansion yet, I just don’t have time to play as much as it needs.
I reinstalled GW2 about a month ago and played for about 2-3 weeks before moving onto a different game. Its a really solid MMO with an active player base and lots of things to do. I’ll probably go back to it at some point, but there are too many interesting new releases coming out in the next 2 months.
I loved this game a first…until I witnessed the end-game. I quit before reaching level 50. I then restarted to play cuz a friend wanted to play with me for the first 10 levels on another server….and then quit again. I am not turning back to this game. It’s a game for casual noobies. Im better off playing a Korean game than this. I am not gonna waste my time leveling a character when in the end, we would ALL look the same. F this.
well till you get past lv80 then you have a lot more freedom than the base game since the game doesn’t really start till you hit lv80 anyway.
OK so what’s “freedom” for you in the game? The only thing this game pushes you to do is complete the MAP – quests, vistas, points of interest, teleports. Go in the WvW PVP and everybody is looking the same as you. No variety of stats of equipment, No RNG, No unique looks except the people with legendary stuff… I am sorry mate but for me this is just a MOBA. I want a real MMORPG, and only such games exist in the east. Western games only care to “handhold” and “make it easy” for the players. I am looking for Dark Souls kind of challenge and open world PvP.
