GW2 Looking For Group Tool available from September 17th

Posted on by

According to Mike Zadorojny, ArenaNet’s Lead Content Designer, the long-awaited Looking For Group tool will be available with the September 17th update. In order to access LFG tool, just press “Y” and you’ll be able to browse all active GW2 LFG categories.
 

The new LFG has categories for every single kind of content: Living World (both open world and dungeons), all of the game’s Dungeons, the Fractals of the Mists, Personal Story, Player vs. Player, and World vs. World. The only two groups that won’t function across all servers in your region are WvW (because you can’t fight for any server but your own), and for the Living World open world content (because it’s expected that you’ll meet with players already on your server for this).

ArenaNet just announced that the Super Adventure Box will return to Tyria next week, on September 3rd, with new patch Back to School.
 
Super Adventure Box originated as an April Fools’ Day joke earlier this year, but quickly became a fan favorite with its pixelated 3D graphics, retro music and nostalgic gameplay that stirred memories of video games from yesteryear. Designed in-game by Moto, a crafty asura, to be a virtual reality simulator to educate the younger generation, Super Adventure Box will take players back to school with new and more difficult challenges.
 
Players can get an early look at the update by joining a livestream with ArenaNet developers on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at noon (PDT) on the Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel.

Guild Wars 2 on PS4

Posted on by

During IGN’s Up at Noon interview with Mike “Z” Zadorojny, ArenaNet’s quality assurance manager, a great question popped up –

Q: Is it possible we’ll see GW2 come to the Play Station 4? Unfortunately, the answer was the same as a year ago,

ArenaNet is PC centric company, but we always keep our options open. Two weeks updates / patches is impossible to do on Console.
