Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys. I have been out of the game for at least 1,5 year. I think i finished season 1. Anyway, i am having a hard time getting back in the game, specially cause my Guild is more or less inactive it seems. I am fully geared in exotic, and at this point just trying to do map completion. Is there a reason for me to play season 2 and spend a lot of gems unlocking it or how should i proceed.

Thanks.

If you are trying to do map completion, then there is no need at all to invest for those Living Story stuff.. The LS doesn’t unlock anything that you need for the map completion, afaik.. (had map completion on my ranger before LS was even born)

Gear wise you’re OK (exotic isn’t the best – ascended armor/trinkets/weapons exist in the meantime), but it depends a bit on what you are willing to do in the game.. Did you focus on PvE before your break? Or were you an avid WvW player? Or … ?

As Tribio indicated, gear depends on what you want to do.
The 5%+/- stat bonus of Ascended would be helpful mostly in PvP, then WvW.
Not so much in PvE.

FYI, metabattle.com has arious builds that are pretty much up-to-date. You can check there for guidelines.

Good luck and welcome back.

Honestly it depends. If you enjoyed season 1 then season 2 does carry on and isn’t too bad. It also gives you access to some nice rewards (imo). If you like the look of this armour set then the easiest way to earn it is from the living story.
I believe you can also get it from the bandit chests in silverwastes but that’kitten or miss. Obtaining it via bandit crests I believe can only be done upon completion of the relevant LS chapter.
The carapace armour can also be upgraded to the Luminescent armour if you want to.

The new maps introduced in season 2 don’t need the living story unlocked and can be quite rewarding. Also these maps are not required for map completion so you don’t need to worry about that.

With regards to the guild it may be worth checking out the Looking For section of the forum and seeing if there’s another guild you can join. You can be in 5 guilds at a time so you can stay in your old guild if you want to but you’d get the social benefits of the newer more active guild.

Thanks guys, i think i will just kill the world bosses, and se where that brings me. I like WvW, but not really good at it. Then start to get som ascended gear, and find a guild that is still active. Thanks.
