Pact Commanders and Wayfinders should mark their calendars for February 3, as a massive new Guild Wars 2 update is headed their way very soon.
Guild Wars 2 has officially marked down February 3 as the release date for the first major post-launch update for Visions of Eternity. This big patch introduces a massive overhaul to the raid system in Guild Wars 2, including a Quickplay party-finding system that should make these challenging instances easier to approach for all players.
On October 28, Guild Wars 2 released Visions of Eternity, its sixth expansion pack. Heroes of Tyria journey to the remote island of Castora in pursuit of the Inquest, who seek to unlock the secrets buried in the forgotten land.
Guild Wars 2 Raid System Improvements Coming February 3
Now, it is almost time for Guild Wars 2 to release its first quarterly update for Visions of Eternity. Suitably titled “Raids and Wardrobe,” this content patch is focused on improving core systems and evergreen features. As the name suggests, the Guild Wars 2 raiding system is being completely overhauled, with upgrades coming in the form of a new raid UI. Both raid wings and raid encounters, formerly known as Strike Missions, will be accessed from this panel, where squad leaders can select specific encounters or difficulties, track clears, and even move the squad directly from one raid to the next without needing to leave the instance.
