Guild Wars 2

Hey guys just starting to get back into the game after leveling a char to 80 at launch. See some good improvements already. Just curious, has any new content been added that wasn’t temporary or seasonal?

I see the living world thing will be ending soon but am confused about that…would I only be able to play the final part of it? Any other new content I should keep an eye out for while leveling? Thanks

If anything buy the rest of the episodes when you have time. My honest opinion? the 1st 3 episodes are good. The rest? Amazing. Once you unlock the episodes, you unlock them forever and are replayabble

The entire LS 2 arc, which you would likely have to buy most of, is permanent and replayable. I think there was another dungeon or two added but I’m not a dungeon person so I could be wrong. I think there were some more fractals added as well as another map in the WvW area as a waiting area that’s now farmed.

New dungeon path in TA. Five new fractals. Two new zones (unless you left before Southsun). But the Living Story is the main new content.

If you log in while stories are live, you unlock them free. Otherwise they cost 200 gems each.

If you don’t care abut story or achievement points you really don’t need to do them, but some people find the story interesting.

New minigames as well, since you probably didn’t play Southsun Survival, or Sanctum Sprint.

New jumping puzzles and events as well.

Guild missions if you belong to a guild that does them, not sure if you’ve done those before.

Well there is an ascended trinket handed out for each episode achievement mastery.

Yep, that’s true. But it’s got a very specific condition, power precision set which not everyone wants or needs. If that’s the set you want to use, it probably is worth it. If it’s not, it’s easy enough to do a few fractals and run a few guild missions to get the stat set you want.

So far season 2 has 8 episodes. I think you can still unlock the 8th one. That leaves 7. Each costs 200 gems, which at present is around 26g. So you can either buy gems with real cash, run a bunch of dungeons / fractals for gold (also try doing Tequatl, it gives 2 gold the first time you do it in a day and then 1 gold on your alts for the rest of the day) or get a friend to invite you into their instance.

1400 gems is roughly $17.50€ if you are interested.
