The next beta event for Guild Wars 2’s brand new elite specializations for the upcoming End of Dragons expansion is set to begin next week, according to ArenaNet. From October 26 to October 30, all players will be able to login and test out three new Elite Specializations, including the new Specter for the Thief profession which was highlighted recently. A full Twitch stream to showcase all three Specializations will be held on October 22nd, which you can watch here.
When you log in on October 26, you’ll find three dedicated elite specialization beta character slots on your character select screen. Use these to create fully equipped level 80 beta characters and take each of the new elite specializations for a spin.
Please note these limitations on beta event characters:
- Beta characters are temporary. After the event ends, they will disappear as mysteriously as they appeared.
- Your gameplay progress will not be saved. Your beta character is temporary and when they vanish back into the Mists, all the information recorded on your account while playing them will disappear as well. Your permanent Guild Wars 2 characters will still earn progress normally as you play them.
- You can play in existing content. You’re free to experience Tyria through the eyes and weapons of the new elite specializations in current open world content, instanced content, Player vs. Player, and World vs. World. Other Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons content won’t be available for play during the beta events.
