Guild Wars 2

I have stopped GW2 for about a year.
Was blown away when I updated the client and logged in today, there are so many changes to the game mechanics.
Where should I start reading to update myself? Haha… kinda lost at the moment.

Haven’t been playing for as long as you’ve been gone so I can’t give exact details (the update notes on the forums can, but that’s quite a read) I think the most vital ones are:

PvE/WvW
- Ascended Weapons and Armors are craftable (many guides/wiki-page available)
- New WvW map; Edge of the Mist (wiki-page availabe)
- Vigil Keep is the new Lion Arch, temporarity, lacks a few services such as Laurel Vendor and Crafting Stations without a pass, but racial-cities still have them.
- Soon to be: Berserker-nerf, just a warning in case you’re about to re-gear, in that case I’d wait out the nerf (affects any gear with Critical Chance/Damage if I recall correctly.)

PvP
- Glory is (soon to be?) removed, but I don’t PvP in this game so can’t help you out there.

Not too much I can think of, most updates revolve around Scarlet and the Living Story, you can read up about it, but sadly can’t replay chapters. I recommend just logging in and read up as specific questions arise.

Here you have a pretty good summary of all the past events

First thing first, open your Hero panel and retrait yourself before you even do anything. Take a good 15 minutes to contemplate the changes made in all the trait lines. Some are good, some will make you shake head…
