Guild Wars 2

hi there ,

I bought this game back when it came out , but sadly i never got to endgame. the reason i left had nothing to do with GW2 either. Im a gamer that sort of nomads through the games i have.

anyways ive beenplaying and happy with the game, i like seeing people as i level in various zones. I got my son to play and since im a higher lvl most games it wouldnt work but bringing my 62 warrior down to play with his thief has been fun.

This is the number 1 thing i look for in games is fun and playing with my kids.
one other fun thing for me is no sub but i can buy gems if i choose to get gold or some cool skins, unlock character slots , add more bag space or bank space.

I had bought heart of thorns earlier and got my lvl 80 well i decided to delete that 80 because i want to work for it and learn the game again.

i do have some console games im looking into that are coming but i need a good computer game still

anyways i hope to enjoy myself and possibly join a guild soon but want to have feel for the game again before i do.

Hi all

glad you are enjoying your time ^^

i do have a question though. what am i toexpect at 80? i guess im going right into heart of thorns? or do i have to do stuff first

For pve? The mobs will hit a little harder just need to learn their attacks. There is certain content you won’t be able to solo, not sure how much since they made it easier than it was at release. You’ll need to grind mastery points and hero points to advance your character. Maps are large meta events if you like those
You don’t really need to do anything before jumping into heart of thorns.

thanks for the info i ll see what to do when i get there. might look into group content too

In general, the HoT maps (and Living World Season 3 maps) are less forgiving for solo play. Especially at first. In HoT you have Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths, and Dragon Stand. Each map is based around a map meta event. You can run around solo on these maps and do some events and things, but the larger events are going to require more than one person to do. Some of the Hero Points are simple “commune at the place of power”, some have veterans or champions. At first, you’ll find those nigh impossible solo – later on, you’ll learn which ones can be soloed and which can’t.

Breaking the defiance bar is IMPERATIVE in HoT. Learn your hard and soft CC skills. Breaking that bar almost universally results in a stun, and a much easier, shorter fight. I can’t stress that enough – CC’s are hugely important in HoT…and almost ignored in central Tyria.

Since you mentioned you play a warrior, my main is a warrior and I normally run around HoT with Headbutt and Fear Me for skill slot CC’s (and headbutt for adrenaline – always open a fight with it!), Greatsword, and either axe/mace (mace 5 for a big CC) or mace/shield (mace 3, and shield 4 for CCs).
