The latest episode in Guild Wars 2’s ongoing Living World storyline is Entanglement, a game update which pits players against evil vines. I’ll repeat that, EVIL VINES. It’s out now.
As well as the odd bit of heroic horticulture, you’ll find new rewards, new enemies and more crafting options.Come on, though, the killer plants are the main draw.
This vine infestation (different from the Vine infestation you can find on Twitter) takes place in the high-level zone of the Maguuma Wastes, and will tie in to the game’s ongoing main narrative. Here’s the pitch:
The lethal, fast-growing vines that have plagued the Brisban Wildlands have begun to spread. Word reaches you of trouble in the town of Prosperity, where the asuran prodigy Taimi was left alone to research the threat. Get back to Prosperity, meet up with Braham, and check in on Taimi.
If you’re currently too busy to dedicate a few hours to murderising exotic plant-life, it’s worth remembering that thanks to Guild Wars 2’s new Story Journal feature simply logging in to your account during the update will unlock permanent access to ongoing story content. Which means even if you miss the whole event while it’s live you can come back and play through the story at a later date. Bit like recording a TV series.
Entanglement is out now, and should download automatically when you log in to your Guild Wars 2 client.
