Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so I can’t actually remember the last time I played. I think it was the during the Living Story event where you were rewarded with the magma gloves from Sorrow’s Embrace (after a quick google search).

So basically, I’d like to know what’s new/how the game runs now,etc. I used to main my level 80 thief, and occasionally my level 80 warrior. Both were DPS-spec, how would they both fair? I’ve read that the upcoming expansion has teased a new class, which I’m stoked to try out.

I remember guild missions has become a thing too, although I only ever tried one out. And I did a few Fractals but not enough to remember them. Just a quick summary of the game as it is now would be great. I already know that Lion’s Arch is destroyed, what else is there?

There is too much to make a quick summary. Happy reading:

A couple new zones, many new events, some new jumping puzzles, new PvP rewards, new WvW specializations, new wardrobe to customize appearances, dyes and commander tags are now account bound, not sure if you got the achievement point rewards are not. New dungeon path. New fractals. New Living Story (which you’d have to purchase with gems if you weren’t here), megaserver so you won’t be alone in zones, even at odd hours, new world boss (Triple Threat), which is the hardest fight in teh game, the Tequatl Redo, and a couple of new minigames.

That’s the short of it, I think.

Okay so it’ll take a while to adjust. How about gameplay wise?
Is it still Guild Warriors 2? Or is it more balanced now?
Also hows the end game/what do people do now? I can imagine Living Story makes up for most of the content, which is one reason I want to come back; other games (Wilds-omething) had nothing to offer for me, it was just repetitive

I thought wildstar is dead by now

It hasn’t been warriors for a while. Not that warriors aren’t good but eles are more accepted now, thieves are more accepted, even rangers are more accepted. If your eye is on the meta, the only “bad” profession right now is necro. But since a necro can completely all the content, that’s mostly min/maxers and speed run groups who say it. We run content with necros all the time and do just fine.

End game is very different in this game than most, because it’s what you want to do personally. There’s no overriding this is what you want to do. For a lot of peoiple it’s about skin collecting or achievement point hunting. Some people try to solo dungeons. Some people find their end game in WvW or SPvP. Some people just enjoy leveling alts. Some people want to get full ascended gear for their characters or work on getting a legendary weapon.

It’s a theme park in the way Disney World is a theme park. You can ride space mountain, visit the Hall of Presidents, or just enjoy the atmosphere of the parks. But the game doesn’t really dictate to you what you do.

Edit: I didn’t mean to say that those professions are more accepted than warriors. They’re simply more accepted than they once were. Though eles never really had a problem, right now they’re very strong. Rangers have less of a problem getting into groups than they used to. Thieves are welcome on lots of runs for stealth. Sorry for any confusion.

If it were, how would anybody know? I suppose we might find its corpse lying on the floor of the internet’s kitchen two weeks after its expired and its putrified, but otherwise…how would we tell?

It’s somewhat active, and I really really enjoyed it up until near end-game, I just couldn’t finish and hit max level. Meanwhile I’ve leveled several alts in GW2 and I wanna come back for more. I really enjoyed the art style and housing of Wildstar, but faction vs faction warfare doesn’t work when you don’t have a playerbase to support it.
