GW2 Beta Key Hunt + újdonságok a GWGuru-n + mai skill update

Szeretném nyomatékosan felhívni mindenki figyelmét arra, hogy ez a hír 2010. ÁPRILIS 1-jén íródott... :)

A mai nap megkezdődött a GW2 Beta Key Hunt - bemásolom amit a hivatalos GW2 wiki ír az eventről:

"During the duration of the competition, players will be able to obtain rare beta keys for Guild Wars 2 by killing monsters with their characters in Guild Wars. ArenaNet has not disclosed which monsters drop the rare loot. Preliminary research shows that the drop rate is very low."

A GW2 béta kulcs tehát csak GW1-ben esik, de csak Hard Mode-ban. Eddig az alábbi helyeken figyelték meg:

• • The Lost Souls making up the former crew of Lady Glaive in the Shards of Orr.

  • Rift Wardens around the Tombs.

  • All baby dragons spawning from carried eggs in Glint's lair.

  • Can be obtained by trading in for Mud Bricks to Vicci in the town of Kyhlo

Ha esett ilyen kulcs, így tudod felhasználni:

2 katt a Beta Keyre, a feljövő kódra nyomj Ctrl+C-t, majd ezen az oldalon (http://www.guildwars2.com/en/betakey.html) tudod igényelni a kóddal a beta accountot.

Jó dropot mindenkinek!!! :)

UI: amúgy is érdemes benézni GW-re, és kipróbálni pár minipetet ;)
