Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played in quite some time and I was wondering what changed since I was last active? I noticed the magic find gear change and the achievement points rewarding chests but have there been any other big changes?

WvW ranks
Guild missions (maybe? don’t remember when it was added)
Ascended weapons and armor crafting
Teq fight revamp
Twilight arbor path 4 revamp
AC dungeon revamp
new PvP maps
Lots of Living Story, we are almost to the end of season one, next update is the 21st.

I’m sure i’m missing some stuff. You mentioned MF gear, that is now account bound and is earned through salvaging blues and greens.

• Account wallet. All your characters now share all currencies.

• Ascended crafting. Most crafting disciplines now go to 500, allowing you to craft ascended weapons and armor (massive grind warning!) Disciplines still at 400 = chef and jeweler.

• Champions now drop boxes with loot and chances at rare weapons. There are now champ trains in Queensdale and Frostgorge farming this.

• World bosses give a lot more loot now, including a daily bonus chest with a guaranteed rare. The boss train is my main haunt and it is fun and profitable indeed.

• Most world bosses were overhauled a bit and now have much more interesting/challenging mechanics. Tequatl in particular saw a mega-buff and now requires an organized raid of about 80 people to complete.

• Karma containers and boosters were nerfed.

• Minor balancing. Check your traits for refunds and changes.

• New healing skills.

• New map coming to WvW. Also world exp going account bound.

• Scarlet is up to something big. This arc of the Living Story is about to climax and, the Six be praised, there actually seems to be expansion-worthy content coming down the pipes after that.

I think you picked a good time to come back.

Thanks for the answers, that stuff does seem pretty interesting.
