Guild Wars 2

Hi, i just started playing again some time ago after being gone for a pretty long time, meaning i missed season 1 and i have the last 3 episodes of season 2
i really hated seeing that i had missed so much

i have 2 questions: will season 1 ever become available again for those who missed it

and nr2: since i have no acces to season 1 and its not even listed i assume that the content is only temporary. is this true?
because i dont want to miss any of the story and would buy all the season 2 stuff but if it’s only temporary i dont want to end up wasting my money for content that will be gone soon

thanks in advance

Season 2 is permanent. Once each episode is unlocked, all within is unlocked with all its content. Some of the background/ambient features will change as time progresses (eg Vine tendrils moving etc), but otherwise you wont be wasting money on that score.

Season 1 is anyone’s guess. As of now, there are no known plans to release it since it would need completely reworking to fit the game and story journal as it now is. Doesn’t mean they wont though.

don’t think you can relive Season 1 as most of the event happened on the persistent maps, as oppose to instances in Season 2.

ANet stated that they would like to do make it available but since the format was different to S2s they’d be unable to easily fit it into the current system. Thus additional work would be needed and around the start of S2 ANet stated that they had no one working on the conversion (might have changed but who knows?).

S1 was all temporary, and only available for 2 or so weeks years ago. Players complained so S2 used a new permanent system.

I don’t know I still very much feel like ANet would at least be able to make the story instances available with little to moderate work needed. But that’s just the opinion of someone who doesn’t know the code base or anything about the internal structure and capabilities of Anet.
