Guild Wars 2

Played for a few months after release, account got hacked, gave up on the game for a while. Thinking about coming back, just trying to get some input about the state of the game.

What has changed recently?

How’s WvW nowadays? Does Henge of Denvari still dominate everyone it goes up against?

Will also be looking for an active guild to join – Open to pretty much anything, I’m more of a casual player, work too much to play super hardcore.

Thanks in advance.

Not much has really changed as far as gameplay. There are fractals now. Denge is dead.

In terms of game play there isn’t a huge change. But it’s still fun. They are adding more content at the moment.
WvW is being improved slowly but surely.
Henge of Denvari …. who?
Plenty of active guilds out there

@ OP.
Aww man, you got hacked that early on? That’s scary. How did that happen? I got hacked on GW1 and now I’m paranoid my GW2 will get hacked, even thought I have got the email verification enabled. Emails are pretty easy to hack to be honest. But I’ve made all my passwords crazy long. I could always put the verification on my phone, but I’m scared I will lose/break my phone and not get on GW2 again.

Besides that, the game has become more rewarding. For instance you can get Karma Jugs for completing dailies, which makes getting armor and waeapons from Karma Vendors less of a 50 hour event grind.

Hahahaha… seriously though, the recent patch added some welcome tweaks and balances, and there’s going to be a WvW overhaul next month. However, ascended items and vertical progression are going full steam ahead. Up to you if you want to start playing again.

I’m not sure how it happened, but after it happened I set my account up so I have to give authorization when someone tries to log on. I probably would have continued playing, but I was kinda disappointed that I got hacked and lost all my gold I had saved so I just gave up on it.

Over the past few months I have gotten atleast 15-20 emails about someone trying to logon my account, which I obviously denied access to. I’m not sure if it’s just a random thing, but I have changed my password so hopefully I don’t get hacked again. I’m not sure exactly how they are doing it, but according to the emails I got, the location of the people that have tried to access my account have been all over the world, from Texas to China.

This is just my opinion, of course.

The only problem now is that players that started the game are high level, so starting alts can be harder to level. So much depends on the events, and they are harder to do without enough players. I’m leveling a Mesmer and I’ve had to pass up most events because there wasn’t anyone to do them with. You can usually tell which ones you can do with one or two other players. Some have tough bosses.

There are quests, of course, but you can’t do them twice. This leaves you looking for quests in areas you prefer not to quest in, or you try to go on to higher quests that you may not be able to do. That was why I was hoping Anet would add more quests for areas in the level 60s and 70s. It’s badly needed.

Also, many people have already quit, even in our guild. It’s a game you can always go back to, so perhaps in the future Anet will add needed balancing for fewer players in the harder areas. When you reach level 80, you can still do events with lots of people, but I don’t find them very productive. I’m not into achievements.

Players who like achievements are the ones who will benefit from the latest patch, plus people who have regular groups for the dungeons. There isn’t a good system yet for finding people to group with. That part has really disappointed me because our guild wasn’t large enough to create more than one group. I should say, not enough members continued to play.

This is sad because the game has so much potential, so perhaps Anet will figure it out.
