Update - November 17, 2015[edit]
New Features and Content[edit]
Raids[edit]
Spirit Vale[edit]
Enhanced Squad UI[edit]
- The enhanced squad UI feature provides functionality to manage large groups of players in all areas of the game.
- Players with commander tags will be able to create squads of up to 50 players, which can be split into as many as 15 subgroups.
- The squad commander can also create a "raid" squad type, which is limited to 10 players and required for entering into raid instances.
- The squad commander can broadcast to any subgroup individually or to the whole squad at once.
- Permissions can be set by the commander to allow potential squad members to join at will, to request permission to join, or to require an invitation to join.
- Commanders can also organize subgroups with a simple click-and-drag interface or allow the squad to organize itself, including sending invites to other players.
- Members of a squad will be able to see each squad member's name, profession icon, health bar, and downed or defeated status.
- Commanders can initiate a ready check for squad members to respond to, and the whole squad will see a visual indication of their response.
- It will no longer be possible to be in a squad and a party at the same time, but just as in a party, your entire squad will be shown on the map, with special icons for your subgroup.
- A Toggle Squad option allows squad members to show up to 10 members of their subgroup using the traditional party UI that displays boons and conditions.
- In World vs. World, squad members will see the supply carried by each subgroup as long as you're in the same map area as your supply-carrying squadmates.
- Players that have not bought a Commander's Compendium may create a commanderless squad that is invite only, limited to 10 players, and has reduced functionality.
Special Action Skill[edit]
- A new skill button has been added that can appear above the skill bar during certain context-specific phases of encounters (initially raids). When the button appears, the skill displayed for use will be driven by the encounter. Players can keybind this skill under Options > Control Options > Skills.
New Legendary Weapons[edit]
- Three new legendary weapons are now available to be crafted. Speak to Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbes[sic] in Lion's Arch to start your journey.
- Legendary Axe: Astralaria
- Legendary Pistol: HOPE
- Legendary Staff: Nevermore
Desert Borderlands[edit]
- Lowered the Skysplitter's damage by approximately 25%.
