Watch us play ‘Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire’ at 3 p.m Pacific


Guild Wars 2, the MMO from Arena.net, launched its second major expansion, Path of Fire, on September 22. It includes a major expansion to the game’s zones, and new campaign story, new mastery points for end-game character progression and, for the first time in the game’s history, mounts.

Mounts might seem like old news, given that almost every MMO has them, but Arena.net had very specific goals when it implemented them in Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire. There are several different types of mounts, and each of them have a different, unique set of abilities.
