On July 9th, Guild Wars 2 will see its next major update with the arrival of the Bazaar of the Four Winds and the marvelous Zephyr Sanctum. With the airship’s arrival come a host of new features including a race that players can participate in for rewards and a new PvP map, which was datamined a few weeks ago. The new map is called Skyhammer, and features a mega-cannon and jumping pads that look pretty fun. Players will also be able to participate in a new scavenger hunt during the event as well as a gather a new resource that will be used for future recipes.
The update will also be bringing in some improvements for the achievement UI, new in-game gem store items, and two new WvW ability lines. If you’re wondering why the updates seem to be coming much quicker these days, Colin Johanson talks a bit about the team’s goal for pushing out updates every two weeks in a new developer blog and video. Updates ahoy! Oh, wait, pirate season is almost over, isn’t it? Ah well.
