As part of our ongoing commitment to security in Guild Wars 2, I am pleased to announce that we are making a mobile two-factor authentication solution available for beta testing, effective immediately.

Mobile two-factor authentication is an alternative means of securing your Guild Wars 2account, and like e-mail authentication, is optional but strongly encouraged. Rather than sending you an e-mail when unauthorized login attempts occur, the game (or any of our online web sites) will prompt you for a six-digit number any time you log in to aMobile

Authenticator-protected account. Using a freely available app on three major smartphone platforms – iOS, Android, and Windows Phone – you can obtain the correct six-digit number unique to your account. These numbers change every 30 seconds and can only be used once; this ensures that without your mobile device, an attacker would not be able to compromise your Guild Wars 2 account.

Please be advised that this feature is currently in beta and we are actively working to get it up to our standards of quality. Use of this feature should be considered “at your own risk” until we have completed the beta phase. We have already identified two major improvements to the feature that we will complete before releasing this system for general use:

Somehow, the term engineer has turn out to be synonymous with Turrets in video gaming, and in Guild Wars 2 it is no various. You will discover a range of turrets available to the engineer, like close-range Flame Turrets, longer-range Rifle Turrets, and friendly Healing Turrets. Turrets might be Overcharged to trigger a larger impact. Engineers also have Weapon kits which replace the Engineers existing weapon with a thing with a distinctive effect (such as a Flamethrower). Backpack kits replace the Engineers set of expertise centered around some thing distinct, which include bombs.

Engineers can equip pistols in either hand, a shield in the off-hand, and also a rifle with each hands, but have loads of other abilities to make up for the lack of weapon selection.
