War's Retreat Changes
Last week we revealed our new PvM Hub, War's Retreat. If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch the live tour below. Go ahead and look. We'll wait.

All done? Great! As a result of the feedback we received last week, we've made a few changes ahead of the War's Retreat release on January 27th:

Completionist Cape Requirements
We agree that significant chunks of content should have associated Completionist Cape requirements. With that in mind, War's Retreat will now come with four new Achievements.

Aura Aura Aura!: Unlock every aura in the War's Retreat store.
Relight My Fire: Fully upgrade the campfire in War's Retreat.
To unlock the Completionist Cape, you will need to complete:

My Last Resort: Unlock the War's Retreat Teleport, a second Boss Portal, the Altar of War, and the Adrenaline Crystals.
To unlock the trimmed Completionist Cape, you will need to complete the meta Achievement War, What Is It Good For? which you will receive after completing the other three Achievements.

Auras being available ingame
At midnight on January 26th the following auras will be removed from Solomon's General Store and added to the Reward Store in War's Retreat:

Vampyrism Aura
Dark Magic Aura
Berserker Aura
Reckless Aura
Maniacal Aura
You will keep any auras you have already purchased with Loyalty Points, and they will automatically count towards the Aura Aura Aura! Achievement. Unfortunately, we cannot refund any Loyalty Points spent on these auras.

Extra Reaper Points
This one isn't really a change but rather an addition. From launch of War's Retreat (January 27th) until February 10th, we will apply 50% extra Reaper Points to ALL completed reaper assignments!

This will apply to all assignments, not just the ones you've attuned in War's Retreat portal.
