Are you hooked on Guild Wars 2? Hope you aren't trying to get clean, because this news isn't going to help you shake that monkey.
Guild Wars developers NCSOFT and ArenaNet have announced that today is the start of the free-to-play MMORPG's first living world update of 2014, "Origins of Madness." Origins of Madness puts players up against Guild Wars villain Scarlet Briar, and promises massive boss battles as players learn more about her scheme to "tear Tyria apart."
NCSOFT's press release explains that the scenario includes two major events:
"On one front, players must journey to the mountains of Lornar’s Pass where Scarlet is massing her armies to defend the Twisted Marionette, Scarlet’s titanic new clockwork creation. It will require a coordinated assault by an army of players to challenge both the Marionette and Scarlet’s combined forces.
The other threat lies in Bloodtide Coast, where Scarlet has awoken something ancient and dangerous. The Great Jungle Wurm is a huge beast with three ravenous heads and an arsenal of attacks at its disposal. Only a determined effort by a large group of players has a chance at defeating this menace."
Release notes for the Origins of Madness update also promise swag, such as Wurm-themed armor, and achievements for players who take part in the events.
