Guild Wars 2

I am a returning player who left the game at Q4 last year. I remember that there were several features/systems that were different than their current versions. Especially, this new skill & trait system. I recently started leveling a new toon and I’m greatly disappointed by this new system. I really miss that old system where I had more freedom for character customization. Level-to-unlock skills, offhand weapon unlocking at 7…. these features are more generic and the fact that I loved GW2, because it offered an unique system. I don’t know why these changes were forcefully implemented. These should’ve been an optional patch so that veteran players could switch it off. Last I remember, the old system was quite easy for any newbie, I don’t get the point of making it even “easier” as it kinda spoils the gameplay fun.

Welcome return, and good luck.

don’t worry OP. soon you’ll just have to do a little bit of map exploration to unlock the extra Hero Point needed to unlock all skills and traits…..

The current trait system was introduced a long time before the NPE (so no fair blaming NPE) and is getting changed soon™.

I honestly think it’s a rather small inconvenience myself.

Old news, OP and well on the way to being changed.

You left Q4 last year? I’m fairly certain the changes you described were implemented around Q2 last year. So this shouldn’t have been new to you.

But yea, most disliked the changes and they will be changing. But knowing the playerbase, they will be up in arms over that as well. The GW2 community really hates change.
