                Guild Wars 2 (GW2) has finally released its February patch today! Many players has been expecting for the release of this update will many added new features such as guild missions, more achievements, a new PVP map "Spirit Watch" and other changes to the game. I for one have been waiting for this patch to come out because the current meta game of this game has been rather boring.

                First up in the update will introduce guild missions, a fresh new event for guilds members to contribute events for rewards. This is a whole new game mode brings five new guild events you can do with your guild. They are Guild Bounty, Guild Trek, Guild Challenge, Guild Rush and Guild Puzzle. Guild Bounty is a mission where your guild kills enemies in order. Guild Trek is a traveling game where members travel to certain points of a map in a certain time. Guild Challenge focuses on the event system where the AI will tell the players what event will happen. Guild Rush is an event where members will run together as chickens while working together to get through challenges. Guild Puzzle is a puzzle mission where members will work together with coordinated effort to solve challenges. I can't wait to play these especially Guild Rush where I can transform into a chicken.

                More new things added are achievements and a new PVP map named Spirit Watch. Before this patch, there were five daily achievements you do to get laurels, also known as achievement currency. This patch now gives freedom to achievements where the player can now choose five achievements to do from a list. This is a very good way for players to choose which achievement they want to do. Many players wanted this because the achievements were very repetitive and some were not fun to do.

                The new PVP map Spirit Watch introduces orb capturing. This is similar to capture the flag but this is great because each time you play, new class rotate each time giving a new diverse gameplay. I haven't PVP much recently but a new map will bring many players back to playing PVP. I can't wait to play this.

                Lastly there are many dungeon class changes. Dungeons in GW2 are fun because one dungeon features three different paths. The reward system has been revamped and many new dungeons were fixed.  Many classes in the game were fixed as well. The warrior, mesmer, guardian, elementalist and thief has not been affected. Engineers and nercomancers were given fixes but hunters were given a nerf. I don't agree why they gave hunter a nerf, it is the most underrated class in the game and I don't agree on the changes in the game.

                This patch gave us a load of content to play. I can't wait to play this game when I have time to play it. Guild Wars 2 has been growing since the beginning and I can't wait to see what other content is up ahead.
