Various WvW blueprint denominations have been removed from the Mystic Forge, as those multiples were made obsolete by the ability to select how many players wish to purchase.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2019-06-11

 

Update - April 26, 2019

Guild Wars 2 Wiki Notes

No Downed State Returns

Crush your enemies—or be crushed by them—when No Downed State returns to World vs. World!

This event runs from 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on April 26 to 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on May 3.

While playing WvW during this time, you'll earn an additional 25% reward track progression and an additional 100% world experience. You'll also gain 50% magic find.

 

Update - April 23, 2019

World vs. World

Players can no longer contest capture points while mounted on a warclaw.

The Shadaran Hills and Askalion Hills capture points have been extended upward to cover the stairs leading down to the capture-point area.

 

Update - April 23, 2019

Guild Wars 2 Wiki Notes

Build: 96,406

Warclaw: Being dismounted for any reason adds a 5 second recharge on the Warclaw Mount skill. This includes damage, using the engage skill, or using the dismount skill.

 

Update - April 9, 2019

World vs. World

General

Gates and walls have had their damage mitigation normalized to the damage levels done to tier 1 (wood). All walls and gates should now take the same amount of damage from a siege attack.

I believe this post has earned enough views and useful comments at this point to have the right to be here. If you're ever confused on the major problems people have with WvW and what to get to fixing first. This guide should better help you @Anet make that decision <3
