Good answer mate and welcome back OP grab some popcorn while you read.

They changed borderlands map in WvW and added Wxp giving you new skills/stronger effects.

In PVE they added new fractals and two new maps (drytop and silverwaste).
They added the living story 2 but you have to buy it in the gemstore.
You can explore the new LA, which was added ~ two weeks ago.
And there are two new world bosses: tequatl and triple worm.
I think thats it.

Depending on when you left, they added the Southsun area. Changes to the wallet several times (all gold and skill points, now spirit shards, are now account wide). Traits changed. Leveling changed. Lions Arch flattened then rebuilt.

Don’t forget plenty daily revamps, it’s important.

Welcome Back to Guild Wars 2.

Many changes have come with the interface and such, but since it’s been two years, I’ll mention there was the April & September Feature Packs (April & September 2014) which introduced a few changes to things like how dailies are done, dyes are now account bound, you have the wardrobe system for unlocking weapon & armour skins, and costumes replaced town clothes.

Basically, log on with every single character you have for the above reasons to make sure you unlock everything you’re owed.

Two years? Everyone here and a wiki will tell you everything they’ve added. Ill caution you to the things they’ve removed:

Glory if you had any its just gone~ Poof, wasted.
Monthlys – No more monthlys, only dailys now. And you get rewards just for logging in so you no longer get laurels from completing dailies, just from logging in every so often.
Build Diversity go find yourself a meta build, because with the crazy overpowered damage and conditions they have right now, playing anything that isnt a meta is outright underpowered and worthless.
Hall of Monuments Hope you got your skins if you played gw2, its been broken for months and they keep saying “Soon” but the fix aint gonna come out until they can fix everythign else broken atm im sure :/ (Then if HoT comes out, there gonna have to upkeep all the bugs/breaks in that!)
Skill Points Those are really just turned into two seperate things, Hero Points and Spirit Shards, the shards are basicly currency to buy mystic forge stuff and hero points are just.. you unlock trait trees with them, and unlock your utility skills and such. But you dont get to CHOOSE what you unlock, it unlocks it in a pre-determined order. You know, so you dont have to hurt your head thinking about what you actualy want and all.
Living World Yeah, ever since January when the last bit of season 2 finished, they announced there will be no more living world until HoT comes out. The only real content we’ve had added to the game is the new Lions Arch, but thats more eye candy then it is playable content. They’ve had a few tournements and such, but thats not really new.. They could have done Super Adventure Box, or some little something, but.. really nothing has been happening besides mechanic bre-(Cough).. “changes”.. and the like.
A fun leveling experience Oh yeah, that was removed a while back, you cant do your personal story until your at least level 10, you cant get into wvw until your lv 30 something, and theres a whole buncha things like mining nodes, vistas, and etc that your locked out of until you hit a certian level. Oh, and your weapon skills unlock via level now too. So have fun auto-attacking the tutorial boss for 5 minutes alone, because no one else happens to be there.. and you cant die.. and you can only press 1 (and you only really need to press 1 once.).. oh and if you dont press 1, the npc’s will kill the boss for you, so its all good.

Sorry if that seemed a bit negative. But.. its all pretty much sadly true.

Biased post is biased.

Glory HAS been removed. It’s been replaced however by reward tracks that give you far more than glory ever did. With all the complaints that people have about the game, PvP rewards are not one of them. Even if you can’t use the glory you’d previously stored. Rewards are much much better in PvP now.

They did remove monthlies, but you get more laurels now than you did when they existed, just by logging in.

Build diversity is still an open question. They removed a lot of useless builds, but there seems to be about the same number, or even more, of builds that work.

Hall of Monuments was not removed, it was temporarily closed down due to an exploit and will be reopened when that bug is fixed.

As you already pointed out skill points have not been removed they’ve transformed.

The living world hasn’t been removed, it’s on a hiatus until the expansion comes out. They did take a rather long break from it.

The leveling experience in many ways is better now, not worse. Just because you think it’s worse doesn’t make it so.

Raven.3957:

They could have done Super Adventure Box

No, they really couldnt. SAB being re-released is a definitive “No” until they release the expansion and free up resources. Why? Because the cumulative changes that occurred since SAB went away have changes the physics of the game in such a way that SAB would be more broken than the bones in a corpse after jumping out of a plane with an anvil tied to your ankles.

I think thats it.

And new mini-games, new dynamic events, new jumping puzzles, also Edge of the Mists map, crafting up to 500 to make ascended armor and weapons, probably the new TA dungeon path as well.

@OP: Please come back to this thread in a few days and give us an update on what a two year hiatus from GW2 feels like. xD
