Guild Wars 2

What is Living World Season 1/2 and is it Free?? I’m new to game barely understood what WvW was and now I’d like to know what Living World Season is and if it’s free.

Thanks

No you need gems, but you can buy each chapter individually and I can personally confirm you don’t have to do so in sequential order, so you can start with 7, then 8 (I’m still on 8 just need the timed achievement) and get most of the tougher stuff out of the way before finishing your bioluminescence achievement. You get a choice of ascended gear upon completing it, just research before opening a box. I’d recommend the cloth chestpiece as it’s the most expensive to craft.

Even if you do some research before embarking on the achievements they can still be challenging depending on your class, spec, and gear.

@Agemnon thank you for that, but what is it?? Like I don’t know what that is?? is it pve??

All I really do is pvp i have little interest for pve, i want to know if it’s pve/pvp, something else? and if it affects pvp in any way.

as i understood it, even if someone has some legendary weapon equipped and i have a gray, trashed lvl 1 weapon equipped, in pvp, it won’t change a thing since all stats are equal, is that true??

and also, kind of going off topic a bit, but does WvW work the same way as pvp in the gear system wise? (all stats are equal for all players regardless of their gear?)

thanks a lot again

Around a year after core game launch, ANet introduced the first major content update now known as season 1. The major villain in season 1 was Scarlet. The stories spread across several months and each month feature new map wide events. As the story proceeded, the new contents removed and only shown the aftermath.

Season 2 is the follow up of Scarlet aftermath. But unlike season 1, main stories were told through repeatable instance.

Season 1 contents are gone. Season 2 stories could be purchased from gem store.

Yes it’s fully PvE but it’s worth doing if you WvW for the ascended armor chest.

Yes, in sPvP everyone has an amulet so stats are equal (though celestial is a bit more overall) and gear is totally cosmetic. It’s the fairest game mode since everyone has access to the same mechanics and advantages. Some classes are OP, but you can play on one like anyone else.

No for WvW gear is the same system as PvE. It isn’t as fair as sPvP since you can get overrun by a bigger zerg, something out of your control. It’s still fun and getting killed isn’t as painful since you’re dying with others in the zerg.

@Doug @Agemnon I see, thanks for all of that. Since im a more pvp player I guess i don’t need that atm, not to mention i dont have any lvl 80 characters yet. maybe later IF i get into pve but doubt it.

So just to be clear, in "s"PvP (im guessing by “s” you mean instanced pvp?) all stats are equal, but in WvW actual PvE gear does come into play?

Thanks once again!
