Coming back from long hiatus
Well this is the good part about GW2, you didn’t really “miss out” on things insofar as you can simply pick up and start playing again. Depending on how much gold you used to have, be sure to acquire the LS3 episodes you didn’t unlock (they are available for promotional gem price, enough that you can convert it easily from gold I’d wager). Other than that you might want to check out on achievements and new HoT legendaries (WvW and PvP only changed the reward systems and WvW now has a legendary if that’s your thing).
Fractals were also added so there’s a lot of replayability there as well, and I assumed you have HoT so there’s also raids to try out. But if this content is not your thing stick to Fractals, they are at a really good spot atm; and overall there’s not much needed to “prepare” for the new expansion, as it will have exclusive masteries that, apparently, do not require you to have HoT masteries in order to explore the new maps.
Hi guys, I’ve been away from this game since the start of the year.
What have I missed?
Is it too late to catch up and is it worth coming back? The latest trailers have been really enticing.
A question like “What have I missed?” is nigh impossible to get an answer for, since it would take someone a full day to type it out.

Thank you! HoT felt like an endless grind for masteries and also I left for Overwatch when it got a little boring. I’ve always enjoyed the GW2 storyline so looking at the trailers it seems like I may have missed out on quite a bit…!
