Guild Wars 2

I love the idea of paying for each individual mission for those who were able to sign in and get a few here and there, however, I only unlocked the very first and the very last of Season 2. Has there been any mention if Season 2 will be released as a bundle in the gem store vs individual unlocking?

Thanks!

Not that I have seen. I recently picked up the game and am a little sad that I cannot see the full story without dropping $20 in gems. Also concerned that I will drop the gems only to find out that I need a group to finish certain parts.

It’s all designed to be soloable, albeit more challenging than previous story arcs.

As for bundles, no there has not been any mention

You may find it difficult to solo some of it. The pact colleagues really need to be more effective to help you when solo and one of them should join you at all times unless a particular part is meant to be solo.

All the missions are soloable… if you only want to finish them for the story.

If you want to get the bonus achievements however, some of those (Notably “Dropping like Flies” from Episode 2, and “It’s all About the Timing” from Episode 8 ) are extremely difficult to complete without some assistance from another player.

So for the non-soloable quests I have a question then. If I have unlocked that episode, but my buddy has not can you tag along with me even though he won’t get any credit or rewards other than XP (if he even gets that)?

I think AngryJoe brought this up in his interview with Colin Johanson. The answer, if I recall, was that while nothing has been announced/decided, this is something they’ll probably look at.

Im fairly certain someone w/o access can enter someone elses instance yes, just minus the rewards.
