Why should I return?
All I can say is that you wont know for yourself until you’ve had try on your own. I wouldn’t be asking the forums with the mood everyone seems to be in.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
Try out Super Adventure Box that comes today.
If you got bored leveling before, you will get bored again. Leveling is still the same and on most servers I heard about and the one I’ve been on, leveling is a more lonely process than before unless you have friends you can level with.
I was in your shoes OP. It’s obvious we aren’t in the obsessed gw2 player category, else we wouldn’t have taken such a long hiatus, and missed a bunch of living story lines.
I’ve logged in, done my daily, and been introduced to BOTS in Queensdale, which is basically extra easy mode Orr 1.0
ponders
Why should I try to convince you to? The best way to decide is to try.
You have your account, it only costs you a little bit of your time.
I can’t recommend joining now. I think things are too in flux. I’d wait a could of weeks and check back. By then some critical information about ascended weapons should be known.
focusing on pve will make the game a part time job that you will have to do ingame daily, especially involving ascended and timegates! well… if you dont mind much2 more daily task, or grind,.. than its all good. .
If you do come back, roll a engineer and use multiple kits. The high APM to be as effective as you can, makes the combat quite interesting (personal opinion of course). It is also one of the few classes where nearly everything is best played as a combo of sorts (ele also works this way) so there is no pressing one button to win and then collect loot. Yes it does mean that you are pressing more buttons to get a similar effect as some other classes get with pressing one button but don’t let anyone try to tell you that makes it subpar compared to other choices. It’s all a matter of if you find the play style engaging or not, higher skill floor and ceiling, no you won’t really exceed other “easier” to play classes but you certainly won’t fall behind them either. So the reward for playing one well really only comes in the satisfaction that you are playing a class that many people simply have not learned to play to it’s full potential.
