Worth playing after level 80?
Yes.
There is new story, but it’s all paygated behind LWS2 and HoT
There are fractals at level 80. Mini dungeons with its own gear progression(agony resistance)
The level 80 zones are good for getting gold.
All the expansion material(including raids) is post-80 content.
Just out of curiosity – are you asking this after progressing your first toon to 80 and what method did you use to level up?
Yes, but I based my answer around Living World updates the like. If not for that, the answer would be no. It’s a huge reason I quit WoW all those years ago. Once you get to a certain level, there’s not much more to do other than raid, farm, etc.
As a casual with limited time, that wasn’t my cup of java. Guild Wars 2 kept me interested longer than any MMO because of its constant updates.
And, after the ‘expansion’, here we are.
Gone to Reddit.
Is it worth playing after level 80? If so, could you tell me the reasons. Is there any story?Thank you!
1. There’s still a whole world to explore. The game’s dynamic scaling keeps every zone relevant, so you can still go anywhere and do anything at level 80. If there’s content you found fun while leveling, you can still go back and do it at level 80, unless it’s a completed renown heart (There are some that are unique instead of just fetch/kill quests)
2. Living Story Season 2 and HoT provide more story, assuming you’ve done the complete living story. And, Renown hearts and metaevents on the maps continue to tell the world’s story in every zone you haven’t done yet.
The game really begins at level 80, in my opinion. There is so much more “endgame” content than there is for pre-80 characters.
WvW, fractals, world bosses, dungeons, raids, personal and living story, crafting, guild halls, jumping puzzles, collection/achievement hunting, map and world completion… the list goes on. Much of this can be done before you reach level 80, but chances are good that you won’t have experienced most of what the game has to offer before then.
With map completion alone, you’ll have reached 80 long before you’ve fully explored even 60% of the maps available.
