It’s pretty inevitable that you’re going to have to get into some fights inGuild Wars 3. After all, what good is all of the MMORPG’sfancy momentum-based combat if you don’t have something or someone to wield it against? That’s where the Mavenwrights come in, the primary enemy group thathas been unveiled by ArenaNet.
The sneak peek is primarily lore-based, providing fans a look at the group’s early history as a crafter’s guild that settled in Orr, to their charter being revoked by the gods, which saw them resort to smuggling, signet crafting experiments, and deadly arms that draw from the magic of Vael itself, all of which has led to open hostilities between the Mavenwrights and the Vaelwardens. And while the Vaelwardens are better equipped, the Mavenwrights begin to grow in number, and the Order of the Vael is spread thin.
Obviously this does mean that not much of this is informative in a gameplay sense, bar the fact that there will likely be a lot of these foes in the world of Orr that the MMO is set in and that they’ll likely have some weird weaponry. Either way, this postdoes at least set the table for what’s likely part of the game’s primary conflict.
