ArenaNet revealed more information about Temple of the Mists yesterday in a new developer blog. Temple of the Mists is the new PvP map (in its beta version) coming in November’s update, and besides the new map, we’re also going to be seeing some other changes to PvP, including the addition of daily and monthly PvP achievements which grant rewards, qualifying leader point boards, and some revisions to the current tournament entry fees and rewards. There are also going to be some minor PvP changes, including the following:
We’ve reorganized the PvP browser hot-join maps so that some are 5-on-5 and some are the current 8-on-8. We’ve made this change so that people who want to play 5-on-5 instead of 8-on-8 in public maps have the option to do so.
Players will also be able to use /rank in the PvP lobby to show off their PvP rank! While this can’t be used in matches (we don’t want people confusing them with finishing stomps) we wanted people to be able to show off how awesome they are in PvP.
