Guild Wars 2

I play GW2 on release but due to life I had to take a break. I am thinking about getting back into this game.

Few quick questions:

How is the population in the different areas? Will there be people to quest and do world events with?

Has any big changes happened?

Is pvp fun?

I was thinking about rolling a new toon and going with a thieve. Are they still pretty good?

Thanks!!!

Any other updates would be great!

i just got the game a couple months ago, i’m on Crystal Desert and there are tons of people running around pve. I play everyday for the most part and have one lvl 80 toon, a lvl 50 and a lvl 7 so there is still lots of fun to be had. A new living story event started for the month too. Not sure about pvp or wvw or thieves

Fun is Guild Wars 2 is what you make of it. At the current moment most people find thieves annoying or OP depending on who you ask. As a thief I would rank them under the category of annoying.

Population is good in some event areas or in some high level areas where people do dailies and stuff, but in the majority of the big game world it’s pretty low, at least on the servers I play/played on. Don’t expect to be leveling purely by events cause there won’t always be people to do them with.

Big changes… since launch? Nothing big I would say. If you are a fanatic dungeon runner perhaps Fractals of the Mists (use wiki for more info )

PvP is fun if you personally think so. I like it less than most PvP I played in other games, and I know lots of people agree when I say the high amount of NPCs (clutter), the high amount of flashy light effects and the high amount of stealth/teleports are bad. GW2 PvP is very chaotic, it’s virtually impossible to see what’s going on in a typical fight and that doens’t improve tactical play.

You can play whichever class you like in PvE.
