The second beta event for the elite specializations (Vindicator, Bladesworn, and the Catalyst) for three more professions started yesterday, and it will run until September 25th. The chosen character will begin in the city of Lion’s Arch at level 80, with their elite specialization, build, and gear equipped.
All players, even free-to-play accounts will be able to test the specializations. Please note that the beta characters will disappear on September 25th at 10:00 p.m.
The next beta test is about a huge change in one of the most important game features. The World vs. World system gets a complete rework, in order to balance population and opportunities. You are able to test out the first phase of the WvW changes in a beta period, from September 24th to October 1st.
Arenanet’s team really wants to rely on community feedback regarding the WvW changes, so don’t forget to leave a feedback after trying the new system!
