Living World

Taimi's Troubles

• Taimi, a gifted asuran prodigy, has been marooned in the Edge of the Mists while investigating Scarlet's motives. She needs the player's help to escape.
• Can players avoid the perils in the Edge of the Mists in order to recover the golem parts she needs?

Introducing the Edge of the Mists

• A brand-new section of the Mists has been uncovered for players to battle in.
  • This new WvW map will always be available and, unlike existing WvW maps, is able to create overflow instances. This means players no longer have to wait to play WvW, regardless of the number of players attempting to play.

User Interface and Queue Improvements

• The WvW panel, opened with the B key, has been updated to more closely match other UI elements in the game.
  • It now includes separate tabs for entering WvW, viewing the detailed score, and viewing WvW ranks and abilities.
  • The Mist War tab includes information about the Edge of the Mists, the current score in the WvW matchup, the buttons for entering each map, as well as information about the queue status of each map.
• The queue for WvW has been updated.
  • Players are now able to see their position in the queue for any given map.
  • Players can now see the current queue status of each WvW map on the WvW panel. This includes the number of people queued to enter the map.
