Guild Wars 2 concludes the Visions of Eternity storyline

ArenaNet has announced the upcoming release of the final part of the Visions of Eternity expansion for their fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2. The episode is titled «Code of Creation». In it, heroes will venture deep into Castor to stop Vlox from wreaking havoc. Adventures in new locations, battles with powerful bosses, and rewards for heroic deeds have been promised. The release of the long-awaited conclusion to this story is scheduled for September 15, and in the meantime, we can explore what fans of the game will be doing this autumn.

According to the story, heroes must enter into a confrontation between the Commander, who has set out from Lion's Arch to Castor, and Vlox, who has declared himself the guardian of eternity. How this confrontation ends depends only on the actions of allies. The brave will delve into the caves of Leyspring Hollows, where they will uncover the secrets of the Elder of the Seers and the Stewards of Galdr. Here they will challenge members of the «Inquest» — an organization connected to the main antagonist himself. These are not disparate events, but a chain of battles united by the «Depths of Cruelty» mission. You must complete one stage after another before the story brings you face to face with Director Kuda — he serves as one of the bosses. Unlike previous meta-events, this one will last three hours instead of two.

Additionally, the update will affect «Convergences», where characters will face enemies in the «Nexus of Eternity». Challenges from various corners of Tyria will be gathered here, and it will be one large battle rather than a series of encounters where enemies attack in turn. Furthermore, the developers have revised the essence collection mechanics — it will now be more beneficial to accumulate it until the gauge is fully filled to gain a powerful ability that depends on your hero's class.
