Hey guys,

I took a break way back in April and have decided to come back to GW2. Where can I go to catch up on everything that has happened? Obviously the patch notes are a good place to start but that doesn’t tell me everything I need to know.

Also, is WvW still in an upswing? I remember in April they started to do the server linking and it made WvW a lot more fun.

They are still working hard on WvW. I believe the Desert Borderlands and Alpine borderlands are both available at all times now (depending on which map you are on, could actually be a hint that there will be a 3rd map added in the next expac? Who knows). They have been experimenting with repair tools and a bunch of other things. I’m not really a WvW player though so someone else might be able to give you more info regarding that.

PvE has received it’s first Living Story season 3 episode that includes a small new map. There have been a bunch of changes to HoT reward distribution (idk if that was before or after April though).

PvP seasons are still ongoing and I believe they are working on changing the matchmaking for it. Oh and there’s a new PvP map in BETA (a different version of Capricorn with a completely new layout).

Oh and on top of that there are a bunch of events spread over old maps that are tied to Living Story and function sort of as a build-up to what’s coming. The old events are still there (from before season 3 launched) so you can do all of them right now. The newest is in Earthshatter waypoint at frostgorge.

Wow thank you so much! Looks like I got a lot of catching up to do
