The new update touches on several topics and you can check out the content below.
Skirmish Rewards
The first major update is skirmish rewards. The Match Overview tab under the WvW UI has been reworked to include a new Skirmish reward track, similar to the PvP Leagues track. The track is progressed by earning pips, just like in structured PvP, and it will grant rewards when tiers and divisions are crossed. However, the track will reset weekly. Pips are earned every tick and are awarded based on the following criteria:
- Your world’s position during the skirmish (first, second, or third).
- Your WvW rank.
- Whether you are commanding a squad with at least 5 people in it.
- Whether you are fighting while outnumbered.
- If you have been playing on the same world for at least three weeks.
In addition, to discourage transferring for rewards, you can only earn pips if you have not transferred recently and if you have earned WvW participation.
The Skirmish reward track can award WvW-specific items such as improvements, tactics, siege, tricks, traps, and other rewards. It also grants Tournament Tickets (now called Skirmish Claim Tickets) which will allow you to purchase both exotic and ascended Tier 2 WvW weapons, armor, and more from the Skirmish Supervisor vendor.
Match History
GW2 has added a new tab along the top of the Match Overview UI, called Match History, which can improve how WvW information is displayed in-game. The Match History tab will display the war score, victory points, and kill/death statistics throughout the match, making it easier to track how well your world is doing.
Improved LFG
An integral part of WvW are commanders and parties. Now, when you enter WvW, the squad/party UI along the side will display three squads and three parties for you to join that are currently listed in WvW Squad Play or Party Play. The new feature, along with the new incentive to command because of Skirmish rewards, can bring in more commanders which will teach others the ins and outs of WvW.
Tier 3 Armor
In addition to Tier 2 armor, you’ll be able to earn Tier 3 Mistforged Triumphant Hero’s armor in this release. Tier 3 armor is the final prestigious WvW armor, and it will require you to have earned both Tier 1 and Tier 2 to acquire. Each piece requires a very high WvW rank to purchase. However, unlike Tier 2, this ascended armor will not require any crafting to earn.
Warbringer
It is a great time to introduce everyone to Warbringer, the WvW legendary backpack with all of these new WvW rewards! The backpack is siege themed and emits flames when entering combat. With this release, World vs. World players at rank 50 can buy the first tier of the backpack using Skirmish Claim Tickets. And of course, as with all legendary backpacks, Warbringer has an awesome glider to go along with it.
