Guild Wars 2

Hi all, i am returning to gw2 after about 8 months and i have few questions while im downloading the game

1. How is the story progression now? Is final part still 5 man dungeon?
2. Money/Xp/Gear wise is eotm still best way to level up then do the zones for 100%?
3. As i mentioned in question number 2, i am willing to craft legendary weapon but i want to know is it easier to craft one now than before?
4. Which EU server is recommended?

Thanks in advance.

1. They changed the final bit of Arah story to be soloable (the ending is still the same as ever though). Nothing points to them integrating group and major story content together anymore either. But we’ll have to wait and see on that until the next set of live story updates kicks off to know for sure (I mean raids have some nice story beats the question is how does that tie into the rest of the narrative content).
2. WvW is pretty dead in general, eotm I dunno about, haven’t been in there for ages… they are pining for this hail mary update to WvW that is supposed to fix things… not sure where eotm stands in that (said updates are coming sometime after major April update).
3. Is it easier, that is very relative, however, it no longer has the RNG element when it comes to precursors. Like I said though, that is still not necessarily easier than farming gold (lot less mind-numbing though).
4. Does it matter? You want to do WvW (see above) check which three are in the top tiers, and you might get some gameplay out of it, but other than that your server choice is inconsequential.

Thanks for reply, tho i would love to hear about eotm from someone so i can decide what to do as i want to start with new character…not sure if i even have any other characters now lol.

I can’t really help with that to be honest, personally, while EoTM might have been the optimal way to level at one point, I always found it very boring exercise in favor of some of the other options.

While there are a few reasons to speed to 80 now (raids namely), they aren’t going anywhere and even if you level fast the ascended gear will slow you down at the end, unless you have a group of friends.

When it comes to leveling, once you get to a certain point you will have so many free level up tokens from login rewards etc. that you basically will never have to manually level a character again if you don’t want to. That having been said, I find that these days using a single method to level your character probably isn’t the most fun (namely because you still have to run around getting waypoints, and potentially hero points if you own the expansion, for them anyway).

Hmm ok thanks i will mix it up with eotm and zones then

Why should you not have any characters anymore did you delete them?

I am curious about this as well tbh. The only reason to do that (after putting your stuff in bank of course) would be for a free server transfer.

He might have done it for posterity, if he though he wouldn’t play anymore I guess.

Yeah i did it for a free server transfer, i did not have any high lvl characters anyway and i can put everything in bank and transfer anyway.
