Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted on the forums. I did at one point play this game quite a bit though and I’ve thought about coming back to it more regularly. One of the things that really ran this game down for me is that taking free time off for real life made me miss huge pieces of vital story to this game.

I wish that they would split up the game again like they did for Guild Wars 1. Where we can start from the beginning and see the world change drastically as our character plays through it. I got to play some of the really fun events like the Marionette. I completed all 11 challenges for that one and killed her numerous times with all the people.

Having played that event alone I know that the amount of players needed was astronomical. However they should just be kept exactly the same just toned down in difficulty. Like needing only one person per platform instead of a whole party of people. It would still require a decent amount of people but enough so that people could get together and go through it again. Especially as a Guild.

Every time I try to get back into this game I just feel lost. The items my characters have from past events and where they are at in the story is completely different.

The greatest thing in Guild Wars 1 was the story really connecting across time. I know there’s a great story in Guild Wars 2 somewhere. No other game has made me feel quite so “left-behind” as coming back in this game.

I know I’ve seen other people who have felt strongly about this same thing over the course of the game. Some even friends of mine from when I played a long time ago. I hope we can all eventually Re-Live the story together.

Season 1 you cannot get through as the story was not set up with the journal in mind, however starting with season 2 you can purchase each past chapter for 200 gems and it unlocks for all your characters forever to have the availability to play through at any time. Going forward just make sure to log in at least once during the 2-week period following any chapter release and you unlock it for free.

The thing I’m most curious about. Is when the expansion hits. Do you think they’ll think of a specialization for all of us who currently love to play condi guardian? I wonder if that will obscure it even farther. I sure hope it supports that.

I saw a lot of comments about condi guardian not being good in group play. One of the first videos I ever saw on condi guardian that made me want to try it forever ago. Was doing one of the current really hard fights in the game and most guardians were getting crushed and a condi guardian with a torch breezed through it like it was cake. He just had his whole party sit in a corner so all his aoes stacked ontop of them for keeping them alive and for doing damage.

Granted I don’t know that that STILL is really effective. But it was. And the condi talk from over a year ago seems to be the same as it is now. Being honest here tho let’s not kid about condi if your not a human or an asura. your condi potential on a guardian is pretty crap. Poison from asura and the elite skill from humans are both extremely useful.
