ArenaNet just confirmed the rumors it sparked about a Mordrem event coming to Guild Wars 2:
From 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on September 10 through 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on September 13, Mordrem will be staging periodic incursions into Brisban Wildlands, Kessex Hills, and Diessa Plateau. Keep an eye on the world event UI, which will let you know when Mordremoth is launching its assault. Coordinate with other players to stop the Mordrem in their tracks, and you’ll earn Mordrem Blooms. Mordrem Blooms are the research samples the Durmand Priory seek. In exchange for the research samples, the Durmand Priory is offering concessions as a reward.
Even if you’ve just jumped into the game as a freebie player, you should be able to participate as the minimum level requirement is 18, which you can easily achieve by next week.
The studio also posted a new blog all about the raids it announced at last week’s PAX Prime 2015. Designers Crystal Reid and Jason Reynolds discuss the 10-man epic content, explain the integration of the event system and bosses and masteries, differentiate between build roles and play roles, and cap it off with a section on phat loot.
