After ~ 10 months not playing the game I will be giving GW2 another whirl tonight. What have I missed? What improvements have been made? Anything new? WvW? PvP? Crafting?

Basically anything and everything you can tell me about the game would be appreciated!

Most content you missed has since been removed, so the game will generally look the same except there are new invasion events that no one does.

Back to WoW, make GW2 fun please.

Very good vid – one thing he did not mention about the achievement chests is that for the backlog you are only getting one each day until you caught up.

“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

I hope your in the minority with the negativity.

There is a new jumping puzzle in G. Fields
We are expecting 3 additional fractals maps between now and the end of the year
One TA path has been completely overhauled in this last update
Scarlet was introduced, and her invasions happen sporadically throughout the day
Tequatl got an overhaul as well, making him more difficult and setting a timer to defeat him
All meta bosses now have timers, and most got hp bumps until they can get their “Tequatl” overhauls as well
Champs now drop “loot bags” to make them more desirable to kill. As such, you can now find farming trains in Queensdale and Frostforge if you are so inclined
Halloween will be back at the end of the month
Weapons crafting has been boosted to 500 to accommodate ascended crafting
I think all of the previous ‘limited time’ weapons skins are now available via a trader in LA, they require black lion tickets to acquire, which can be a pain, but can be done. Most of them are also tradable now, so you can find them on the TP.
WvW has “weapons” trait lines you can build

There’s a few more I think, but that’s just what popped to mind for me. (not generally a pvper, so most of my attention is pve oriented)

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Was fractals in 10 months ago or is that new to the op?

Edit: Just checked, Nov 2012.

Fractals came in…in Nov? When they announced the first ascended junk (still anoyed at you anet). But if the OP has been gone 10 months, he left Dec/Jan time period.. so should think that he’d be aware of fractals… Still, just guessing

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

I actually left around the same time and came back last month. WvW rewards, achievements, and the gemstore were revamped. There is also a bi-weekly release now that has something in it I usually don’t have time to complete. They’re quite frequently removed (its called ‘living story’ or something like that), but they do have some neat stuff in them. I did the closing ceremonies starting mission (but couldn’t finish it) and it felt like a personal story mission. The last couple since then have been world bosses/time consuming tasks/new dungeon path, and I haven’t been able to do do any of that stuff.

It feels like they’re just adding little stuff here and there.

OP there have been several changes like those pointed out by Lanfear,
The negativity crowd is in full voice and since they are a small cliche it only takes a couple of days to spot them all. They believe they are RIGHT so what can you do.
