Is GW2 worth getting back into? I played for awhile back at release then stopped around when Lion's Arch fell. Been itching for a MMO and want to avoid the WoW resub. Worth picking up Heart of Thorns and jumping back in?

04/18/2017 – April 18th Release Notes Living World Fixed an issue with the “Into the Labyrinth” instance that was preventing friendly NPCs from assisting in combat. General The Active Guild Member achievement, which can no longer be earned after the retirement of Influence as a guild currency, has been moved from the General ? Community category into the Historical ? Retired Achievements category. Unique text has been created for skill and trait tooltips, specific to their game mode. An option called Disable Player Item Chatter has been added to the Sound Options tab. Enabling this option will disable all chatter voice-over from player items such as the Replica Job-o-Tron Backpack, tron-themed salvaging tools, and tron-themed gathering tools. Ruins of Orr—Karst Plains: Crusader Feintscar now correctly has a female voice. Raids Bastion of the Penitent Fixed a bug in which players in the Samarog encounter were sometimes impaled when there were no nearby spears. Fixed a bug in which Samarog waited too long to recall spears if transitioned at the wrong time. Fixed a bug that prevented Rigom and Guldhem from spawning if Samarog was transitioned while using Brutalize on a player. Demonic Tears will no longer consume Aegis when hit while the challenge mote is active. Players can no longer use Continuum Shift to exit Deimos’s realm during the final phase. In the Deimos encounter, the player targeted by Soul Feast can no longer be selected by the Eye of Janthir to enter the demon realm. In the Deimos encounter, jumping will no longer prevent Soul Feast from spawning. Structured Player vs. Player Default builds have been adjusted. BLACK LION TRADING COMPANY GEM STORE New Items and Promotions A new Primordus Dye Kit containing six exclusive colors is now available in the Special category of the Gem Store for 125 gems.

 NEW HP TRAIN POLICYSince it's been harder and harder to gauge interest and round up enough goons to actually run these lately, I'm going to put a new policy into effect: If you want to be in Tuesday's HP train, send me an in-game mail at Schpyder.2917 sometime on the preceding Sunday or Monday. That will give me enough lead time to just go ahead and say yea or nay when I log in on Tuesday (and update the MOTD to reflect), rather than sitting around in-game waiting for people to log and voice their interest or not.

No can do on the later bit. I'm already starting it at 9 PM my time, pushing it back an hour or two would run it close to or past midnight, and considering I get up at 6:30, that's a no-go.

Worth picking up Heart of Thorns and jumping back in? Yes. Plenty of content. Plenty of goons. The reception for the expansion was mixed but it's definitely more content. Also, gliding in the old world.

It takes a different mindset to enjoy the gw2 endgame compared to other mmos for sure though. Pick a goal and work toward it but don't grind and you'll have a blast. Achievements in this game are great for giving you a fun goal to work toward unlike a lot of games where they're just sort of a bonus My average day playing looks bonkers, I hop all over the world and almost everything I do contributes to my long term goals but I never spend over a half hour or so in one place.

This is pretty much what I do. I have a text file with a list of "stuff I could do" for most areas. There will be a day in the future when it gets pared down to "farm a billion geodes" or whatever, but it's still a long ways off.

While I love the events and festivals they do, I wish they'd run longer. I almost always wind up feeling burnt out by grinding out hours of limited time content to get whatever cool limited time thing is around. If you can make yourself just play and do different things all the time it's a lot more fun.

What they need to do is have more stuff on a shorter rotation. Do SAB one week per month, queen's gambit another week, find a way to bring back bazaar of the four winds the following week, etc...

OK When this game first came out I sort of brushed it off as something that wasn't for me. I have literally 0 knowledge of this game other that the bare minimum and I'm downloading now. I have been itching for an MMO to play and can't wait any more. Im actually really excited about playing because I know nothing about this game so it's like when I played wow for the first time. Im torn between a Ranger, because I love taming pets, or an engineer, because I love turrets. What server are you all on?

 Can't go wrong with either class. Join a goon guild and have fun. Also read the OP (not up to date, but it's all we got, sorry)

hey welcome to the show! posted:OK When I was levelling with the Engineer, I had felt the turrets were anemic, so I switched to Ranger and now I'm happy. You have to go all over the world to get your pets though. I have a lizard named alphys, and a Shark named Jibber Jabber, and a fern hound named Son Of Tvs Frank

The one you'll use regularly is the heal turret (it's the engineer's best heal and frankly one of the best heals on any class) but your focus will be on kits, having a lot of skills to press, and carpal tunnel

So speaking of skill presses, what's the most straightforward class (while fun) to play? I tried making an Elementalist and holy poo poo switching between the 4 alignments while juggling cooldowns was not fun. I just want to make things dead. Someone mentioned staff daredevil a couple pages back? Is it actually fun?

if I want to play a fairly braindead class I go hammer guard. your optimal rotation literally consists of fitting as many autoattacks as you can between your one lonely trap, your F1 skill and your elite shout. you still have to do things like time your aegis shouts and blocks so it's not literally zero effort.

Yeah from what I hear guardian and daredevil thief are what you want. I can't speak on guardian but the Max Deeps rotation on daredevil is "dodge, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, repeat" which is simple to execute no matter what's happening. With a gargantuan amount of mobility in shortbow and low health but the ability to dodge 6+ times in a row for frantic fights (3 dodges, 3 staff 5's) i'm having a blast with the class.

Levelling a hammer and signets guardian was a very smooth and easy experience. No skill required whatsoever.

hammer guardian is basic but i wouldn't call it fun, mostly because the attacks are very slow i play a revenant which is just as basic but attacks faster and also has tons of crits and a piercing ranged weapon
