GW2 Super Adventure Box Hard Mode

According to Josh Foreman, Super Adventure Box Hard Mode will be presented in the next update.
 

 
Yeah, we had a hard mode in, but had to pull it because it was tanking the perf on the server. So we are building some new tech to accommodate it. If we have another release it will have a hard mode option for sure. We are literally working on it this week.
 

GW2 Sonic Periscope Locations

GW2 Sonic Periscopes can be found throughout the following areas – Diessa Plateau, Wayfarer Foothills, Snowden Drifts, Plains of Ashford, Iron Marches. Once you destroy the Sonic Periscope, search the Sonic Periscope Wreckage to collect Sonic Periscope Audio Log. On the map look for the Vigil Audio Log Collector and give him the logs. In return you will gain 100 karma. The periscopes reset daily. Locations are the same for all servers.


When you come close to the Sonic Periscope you will hear a strange sound like ringing in your ears, and your character will have a red circle aura.

Changes to GW2 Guild Missions in the Razing March Patch

GW2 Guild Missions are open-world content specifically designed for guilds. After the first month, it was obvious that small guilds had problems in unlocking some Guild Missions’ Categories. With this problem in mind, ArenaNet decided to add additional changes by introducing the Bounty Hunt training mission for small guilds.

 

New Mission Type: Bounty Hunt Training

One of the most exciting aspects of the guild mission feature is our ability to add completely new types of missions. And while the sky’s the limit on what these new types could be, this month we set our sights on something much closer to the ground level: the Bounty Hunt training mission.
 
This mission is designed to provide small and casual guilds with an avenue for accessing and unlocking guild content. The objective is simple: defeat one bounty target within fifteen minutes. Make no mistake, this is still very much a group activity, as tracking and defeating even a single bounty is no trivial task. Those players who belong to a one-person guild may still have to join forces with some other players for at least a limited run.
 
An important detail to note is that the Bounty Hunt training mission is automatically available to be built once the guild has researched Art of War Level 3. It costs 300 Guild Influence and 72 hours of research time. Instead of Guild Merits, 3000 Guild Influence will be rewarded. This ought to be perfect for the smaller or less active guild that can’t earn at least 1000 Influence a day.
 

Three New Guild Bounty Targets

The Tyrian authorities are happy to report that guilds are hunting down hundreds of bounties every day. But the nefarious criminals of Tyria haven’t been deterred, and now they’re hitting back hard. This month we’re bringing you three new bounty hunt targets that are more insidious, more deadly, and more elusive than ever before. Take a look at this bit of intel, if only so you’re not caught completely off guard when you have to adapt your strategy:
 

  • 2-MULT – This defective prototype weather golem has been storming around Timberline Falls. Target needs to be brought in for a software patch.
  • Big Mayana – This voracious hylek is wanted for questioning about a recent poisoning. Target is thought to have taken refuge in the canopy of Sparkfly Fen.
  • Yanonka the Rat-Wrangler – This rogue ogre is wanted for spying on and sabotaging various factions vying for control of the Fields of Ruin. Target is notorious for using pet rats to do her dirtiest work.

 

New Rewards

Extending guild missions isn’t limited to just content. We aim to improve rewards as well. To that end, a completely new set of weapons has been commissioned and made available at the Guild Commendation vendor.
 

And More…

Aside from new content and minor bug fixes, we’re also making as many incremental improvements to the usability of Guild Missions in general. For example, mission activation, success, and failure are now displayed in your guild’s history. We’ve also updated the descriptions of many bounty hunt targets for accuracy. Stay tuned for more to come in this department.

 

GW2 Achievement Leaderboards will limit infinitely repeatable achievements

The third part of the Flame and Frost update – The Razing introduces new Achievement Leaderboards which will limit the infinitely repeatable achievements with a reasonable number.
 

As we warned earlier this year, we’ll be closing out the infinitely repeatable achievements and capping them at a reasonable achievement number due to these rankings and the rewards we plan to add to total achievement points someday. These achievements will get capped with this release.
 
Daily/Monthly achievements won’t be changed.
