Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

i had bought this game back when it launched and i enjoyed it a lot; unfortunately I couldn’t keep playing due to a busted laptop and busy college schedule, so i stopped playing shortly after buying it.

I’ve graduated and I have a new computer, however i just wanted to ask a few things while i wait for it to install..

Is the community still active?
Is the PvP balanced?
and lastly, is there anything new in WvW?

Thanks again, and glad to be back.

The community is certainly active. WvW is more active on top tier servers, so it depends on what server you’re on. The rest of the game is on megaserver, so there’s usually people everywhere.

SPvP has a new ladder they’re trying out, probably a couple of new maps (including one deathmatch instead of conquest) and a bunch of new reward tracks. It’ll look very different to you.

WvW is mostly the same, but there are specializations and WXP to improve. You get chests for leveling.

They’re trying an experiment with some rule changes in WvW right now, so it’s a good time to jump back in.

thanks for the info

welcome back!

I play on Gandara so the community there is pretty active.
One big thing to note is that they introduced megaservers.

This allows you to see and play with other players from other servers on the same PvE zone. Normaly, you will join zones with your party members,friends and guildies first.

So dont be afraid if you used to play on a english server and suddenly see french people recruiting for their french guilds in /map chat

I only recently started to play PvP, while i do think that a prepared premade team can have a advantage against 5 random people, i do think that class issues arent a thing (at least it didnt felt like it in my experience)

For WvW there is the edge of the mists map. this map was ment for people who queued for their worlds to play together while waiting.

While your score in EoTM wont count for your world score, you still get exp,champ loot, WvW exp and badges of honor.

If you do good in EoTM your home world will get a small boost of supplies in your home world wvw map (but only in the citadel and nowhere else!)

There are a TON of other patches, updates and changes since release, feel free to ask anything thats confusing or new to you here. Or better yet join a guild and enjoy the game
