    GW2 Patch: Game Update Notes: June 22, 2021

    By Jen22 June, 2021No Comments5 Mins Read News

    06/22/2021โ€”June 22 Release Notes

    Dragon Bash Festival

    It’s time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn’t be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be tests of strength, racing, food, song, andโ€”most importantlyโ€”ale.

    I’ll see you there. Unless, of course, you don’t enjoy fun.

    โ€”Knut Whitebear

    • Join the celebration in Hoelbrak! Celebrate Tyria’s resistance against the Elder Dragons while engaging in a variety of festive games:
      • Dragon Arena: Show off your dragon-fighting prowess against lifelike holograms in the Dragon Arena, or tackle a more difficult gauntlet in Dragon Arena Survival.
      • Hologram Stampede: The fighting continues in the Hologram Stampede, a map-wide scramble to clear the Hoelbrak countryside of deadly enemies.
      • Piรฑata Bashing: Master the tradition of destroying dragon piรฑatas in the Piรฑata Bashing adventure.
      • Dragon Bash Rally: Speed around Hoelbrak in a new mounted race, the Dragon Bash Rally.
      • Moa Race: Tigg’s famous racing moas return in a Moa Race event. Put your zhaitaffy on the line and cheer on the winner!
    • The festival meta-achievement, (Annual) Dragon Bash Feats, has been updated with a new reward, the Holographic Dragon Gloves. Last year’s reward, the Holographic Dragon Shoulder, can now be purchased from the Dragon Bash Merchant.
    • Three new weapons are now available as rare drops from dragon coffers. They can also be purchased from Sparking Stone, a new Dragon Bash weapons vendor in Hoelbrak.
    • New rewards have been added to the Dragon Bash Vendor, including two miniatures and a new ascended accessory.
    • New Dragon Bashโ€“themed guild decorations have been added.
    • Adventurers who have finished The Icebrood Saga can now meet some of their allies in Hoelbrak during Dragon Bash.
    • The party rages for three weeks, from June 22 until July 13 at noon Pacific Time. Get bashing!

    Festive Fixes

    • Daily limits on zhaitaffy from smashing dragon piรฑatas in Hoelbrak have been relaxed. Adventurers will now receive a small amount of zhaitaffy after breaking their first 35 piรฑatas in a day, tracked by a new daily achievement, Daily Bonus Rewards: Piรฑata Smashing.
    • Updated creature scaling in the Hologram Stampede to adjust more effectively when large groups join up at a hologram generator.
    • Updated textures on the projector component of the Dragon Hologram Generator guild-hall decoration to improve visibility in dimmer environments.
    • Certain nonfestival ambient characters in Hoelbrak have been moved and adjusted to make their dialogue less repetitious.

    General

    • Updated Taimi and Gorrik’s scenes in the Eye of the North following the end of The Icebrood Saga to add voice acting.

    Profession Skills

    General

    • Fixed an issue that prevented torment skill facts from being completely displayed.

    Necromancer

    • Scourge: Fixed a bug that caused the user interface to display the wrong color when players dismounted.

    Ranger

    • Fixed a bug that caused the primary pet to activate when switching maps, even if the secondary pet was previously active but was stowed or merged.
