Guild Wars 2 devs detail upcoming The Battle for the Jade Sea changes

Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons has brought four new maps to the game. The beautiful Seitung Province, New Kaineng City, and Dragon’s End maps all have individual appeal and unique Meta events. Meta events in Guild Wars 2 require players to work together to complete a timed event that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Players have to ready up the map by completing several events in the North and South of the Dragon’s End map and then proceed through the various phases once the event is active. The event is challenging, and not just because it’s new and the various strategies aren’t yet perfected. The event is also massively popular as it’s the only way to unlock the collection for the Siege Turtle.
