If you’re playing Guild Wars 2, chances are you’re quite aware that this month’s update will be all about the “competitive” game — namely, PvP and WvW improvements. One of the big features comes in the form of skirmishes, which are meant to make the world-vs-world scene more accessible to the average player.
“Skirmishes are intended to make two-hour chunks of playtime within a much longer WvW matchup feel meaningful,” ArenaNet explained, “and the new Skirmish reward track lets combatants earn pips toward rewards for their efforts on the battlefield […] The team is also scaling down the time required, so players will start earning the bonus pip after one week instead of three.”
Among the many rewards that players can work toward in their competitive career is a new WvW-exclusive legendary backpack called Warbringer. The “intimidating” backpack is themed around siege weaponry.
