Don’t expect to hear anything from them until April 18. Instead, they’ll be focusing on some of the smaller things that might irritate new players.įinally, now that things have wrapped up on last month’s update, the Guild Wars 2 team is going to be taking a bit of a break. They do note that there are no plans for big changes – at least at the moment.

They’re currently planning to test some changes intended to improve the new-player experience. To prepare for the upcoming Steam launch the dev team has also been experimenting with various ways to ensure comfortable on-boarding for new players. In a post on the Guild Wars 2 website, senior engine programmer James Fulop said a beta for the DirectX11. The problem is that they’ve been unable to replicate them, so on April 19 they’ll be adding data logging to the game that will let them get the info they needed. Guild Wars 2 is getting DirectX11 support soon, developer ArenaNet has said. The developers are still hard at work trying to fix the queue bugs that have been plaguing people. World versus World is getting a lot of attention. Existing players who aren’t already in the beta will have to enable it from the game settings menu, so if for some reason your system can’t handle it, you can probably wait. In fact, they intend to fully enable DX11 by default for all new accounts on May 10.
GUILD WARS 2 DIRECTX 11 UPDATE
On the graphics side of things, the work on the DirectX 11 update is nearly complete. There is also now a Hero’s Choice Chest that will be rewarded upon successful completion of the event. The developers have removed a good deal of junk items and increased the value of chest contents. Rewards for this boss have been updated as well – in response to player feedback. This makes the boss more in line with others in the game world. The results have already been pretty solid, with the number of clears raising from 15% in the first few weeks to 60%. Over the past month, the team has been making balance adjustments intended to make it more accessible while still keeping it challenging. The work currently being done on the final encounter of the Jade Sea Meta-event is focusing specifically on the final boss. For players wanting to keep up on what’s happening, this is the post to read, covering things like the final encounter of the Jade Sea Meta-event and its associated rewards, the DirectX 11 update, world vs. Today, ArenaNet dropped another post offering players insight into what’s currently going on with Guild Wars 2.
