i will tell you what has kept me from playing it for along time is I kept thinking 'oh, its probably dead or its probably gonna die off soon' and then it just keeps trucking along

I see people throughout even newbie zones and the first non-newbie zone I've been in pretty consistently, especially for whatever the main zone event happens to be

it's still raking in 5-6 million USD a month as of ncsoft's last earnings report (in its heyday it was anywhere from 5-12) so there's clearly still an active and paying playerbase

Best part is that the leaker forgot to remove the guild tag on his pet and then deleted his reddit account in a panic.

So I reinstalled, recovered my old account, made a new character and spent a few hours playing.

as I made a new character, I was shocked how much better the graphics were than what I remembered, but as soon as the game starts the character model seems to turn into a strange textureless glowing version.

Despite my best efforts, I really didnt enjoy playing the game, I'm glad others enjoy playing it, but for some reason I cant stand it. When I look at an 11 year old video of GuildWars1, it looks like a much funner game than GW2, despite its age.

No, it's not just you, about 90% of the people I play against agree.

Between my wife and a guildie from gw1 and 2 they were able to get me a weapon, a set of armor, and a hand full of minis. That combined with a few things I didn't realize I had on various characters added up rather quickly.

Just bought HoT and came back after a 1ish year hiatus. I've been playing the game using a controller today and it's surprisingly not awful. I wouldn't PvP with it but it's fine for kicking back and doing PvE content. :v:

I haven't played in well over a year, and generally solo things. If I don't care much about PvP/WvW, how is the new HoT content? It's on sale for $25 so I was considering picking it up to try the new specializations (assuming they aren't hard to unlock) and Revenant class. Don't care much about the story either, as I generally just listen to podcasts and jump around and/or smash things. Will probably have to learn everything all over again as I imagine lots of new UI/class changes were implemented in the last year, so I'll avoid using the 80 boost immediately.

As someone who played 2 months at release and only came back for HoT just now, I rate HoT A+. It feels to me the game has improved on everything I already liked about it.

I just assume the Nevermore grind is why Bird flew the coop

The way I view Heart of Thorns is that it's good and bad according to each person's deviant brain workings

For example, I enjoy more parts of HoT than I dislike, and this is one of my alts:
