Guild Wars 2: Leak shows all the new elite

Reddit (, stylized as reddit) is an American social news aggregation, internet material ranking, and conversation internet site. Registered participants submit material to the site such as web links, message posts, photos, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other participants. Articles are organized by subject into user-created boards called communities or subreddits, which cover a selection of topics such as information, politics, religious beliefs, scientific research, flicks, computer game, songs, publications, sports, fitness, cooking, pets, and image-sharing. Entries with more up-votes show up towards the top of their subreddit as well as, if they get adequate up-votes, inevitably on the site's front web page. In spite of stringent regulations forbiding harassment, Reddit's administrators have to regulate the communities and also, now and then, close them. Small amounts is also performed by community-specific moderators, who are ruled out Reddit employees.As of February 2021, Reddit ranks as the 18th-most-visited site on the planet and also 7th most-visited website in the UNITED STATE, according to Alexa Internet. Concerning 42-49.3% of its customer base comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.9-8.2% as well as Canada at 5.2-7.8%. 22 percent of U.S. grownups matured 18 to 29 years, and also 14 percent of U.S. adults aged 30 to 49 years, frequently utilize Reddit.Reddit was founded by College of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman as well as Alexis Ohanian, with Aaron Swartz, in 2005. Condé Nast Publications obtained the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit ended up being an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's moms and dad firm, Breakthrough Publications. In October 2014, Reddit elevated $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and consisting of capitalists Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, as well as Jared Leto. Their financial investment valued the business at $500 million after that. In July 2017, Reddit increased $200 million for a $1.8 billion evaluation, with Advance Publications remaining the bulk stakeholder. In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's evaluation to $3 billion. In August 2021, a $700 million financing round led by Integrity Investments elevated that valuation to over $10 billion.

In the night of August 18, DataMiners divided into Reddit a few hiding files in the Code of Gguild Wars 2, which give the first insights into the new elite specializations. We summarize Meinmmo.

What was done? In Guild Wars 2, the basic classes get a new weapon with each elite specialization, which can lead them. As part of the first beta to the new elite specializations, you can already play the Mesmer, the necromancer and the guards.

Which new weapon gets a class, often says much about the direction of specialization. Thus, the virtuoso, the new elite specialization of the Mesmer, gets a dagger as a new weapon and can thus conjure you to conjure the daggers.

The new Leak now shows you the weapons that get the remaining 6 elite specializations, and that looks like this:

• The thief gets a scepter
• As an engineer, you will soon get a dispute piston into the battle
• The elementary magician swings soon a hammer
• Forest runners also get a hammer donated
• Warriors are apparently armed in End of Dragons with pistols
• Revoors receive access to the Great Sword

More about elite specializations or even their skills is currently unknown.

The leaks are almost waterproof

How trustful is the leak? That looks very reliable. DataMiners have found significant indications in the code of the last update. If Arenanet has not deliberately left false traces in the game's code, we can assume that the information of the leak is right. (via reddit)

How did the leak came about? In Guild Wars 2 you can be left every item with a click in the chat. If you go with the mouse over it, you see the object and can retrieve more information about it. So that works, each item in the game has a so-called chat code.

So that you can now exploit the beta of the currently well-known elite specializations, the beta characters received a special equipment chest in which all weapons are included, which can use the appropriate class.

But now Arenanet has just brought these equipment for the new elite specializations to play. DataMiners found the chat codes of the boxes and could show themselves what is included in it. Accordingly, in each of the chests a weapon was present, which the class could not carry yet.

The community speculates

What do the gambling? On Reddit Voten User the post with the Leaks neatly up. Already at 23 o'clock of the 17th of August, he has almost 400 votes, which is comparatively a lot for Guild Wars 2. The community now speculates how the elite specializations could look like:

• The User Etrae writes on Reddit: I always wanted a magic thief. I thought he got a puzzle, but a scepter does it too. I am something of ready for that.
• The player Orihkeks writes on Reddit: Ranger with hammer and repeators with great sword makes me happy. That's exactly the weapons I wanted for both.
• Disappointed shows the User Sandzibar on Reddit: No lonbows? .. Why does Arenanet longbows hate so much?

It remains to be seen how the elite specializations will be played in the end, but we can already hire guesses. With a balance update about a year ago, the build Boon-Thief was toned properly. It is a support thief that could now celebrate its big comeback with the announcement of the scepter.

Large question marks are still the hammers for elementary magicians and forest runners. Some fans fear another specialization of the elementary magician, which focuses on the melee, which was already critical in his last two elite specializations. The Guild Wars 2 expert Tapfels juice writes on Discord: If the hammer is pure melee again at the magician, I will not guarantee an ELEE more.
