Guild Wars 2 Starts Testing Secrets Of The Obscure’s Weaponmaster Training System
Guild Wars 2 has started testing its Secrets of the Obscure expansion, or at least part of it. The expansion’s new Weaponmaster Training system is now live on the beta branch from today until July 2nd, allowing players to put it through its paces and provide invaluable feedback ahead of the expansion’s launch in August.
“Weaponmaster training is a Guild Wars 2: Secret of the Obscure feature that grants elite specialization weapon proficiency to each profession, regardless of whether the corresponding elite specialization is equipped—or even trained!” ArenaNet explains. “This is one example of the ways we’re lifting constraints to unlock an unprecedented number of playstyle customization options while staying true to the feel of Guild Wars 2 combat.”
To participate in the beta test, all you have to do is click on the beta character slot that should now appear on the character selection screen and create a new character. Note that beta toons can only be used for testing purposes and will automatically be deleted once the beta test ends at 10 p.m. PDT on July 2nd.
“[…] Any gameplay progress earned while playing on them – including rewards and currency – will not be saved,” reminds ArenaNet.
As for the full expansion, it’s set to hit the live servers on August 22nd.
