The Visions of Eternity finale brings six story chapters, the Leyspring Hollows map, a ten-player raid encounter and the Solitary Throne fractal. ArenaNet dated everything after it out to Wintersday.
For your guild
Depths of Cruelty runs on a three-hour cycle rather than the expansion’s two, and Shackles of the Ancients shifts five minutes earlier to stop the two colliding. Leyspring Hollows closes once its meta completes, and Challenge Modes are three weeks out.
The summer festival runs in the Labyrinthine Cliffs and the Crown Pavilion until September 1, with a Cloud Pteruges leg armour skin, Spellwork weapons, homestead decoration recipes and Wizard's Vault objectives for Astral Acclaim.
For your guild
Three weeks of festival objectives that pay Astral Acclaim make easy guild-night filler, and nobody needs gear to join in. Book it early rather than late; the Crown Pavilion is better with a full instance behind you.
Beta 2's numbers put objective captures near 30 percent of War Score and player kills near 25. Beta 3 runs August 11 to September 4, removes points for guard kills, and boosts points for defensive kills around objectives.
For your guild
Re-brief your squads before August 11. Fights near your own objectives will score, farming guards will not, and the return of placement-based rewards means match standing matters again.
