Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, I didn’t played this in ages and surely too much stuff have been stacked on top of each other for me to follow, so my question is:

Can you guys please link me a video that summarize all the changes the game went trough since the relase date until now (or until recently) ?

Watch BogOtter’s boomerang videos:

You can read all the updates we have had here to see all the changes

There are a WHOLE bunch of changes. Not sure how many since you left since you did not say when you left.

Thanks for the link, I watched all those videos and right now I’m so confused, too much info, but gave me the input to install the game again and try it out myself :S

The same question was asked yesterday. Here’s a link in case any answers prove useful

If you just want to familiarise yourself with how the game works now the best approach, I think, is simply to log in, create a new character (keep the ones you’ve got though) and play through it.

I generally find info on games makes much more sense when I’m actually playing than when I’m just reading about it, and one of the changes is new level up rewards that notify you about different features and systems in the game.

@Danikat: I’ll do that

Start a new character and play it a bit to get until you get use to the changes before revamping your existing characters.

0. Release.
1. Added more grind.
2. Everyone got mad.
3. Removed a little grind.
4. Somehow, a bad GW2 fanfic Mary-Sue named Scarlet accidentally became canon.
5. New players got confused.
6. Added more grind.
7. Everyone got mad.
8. Removed a little grind.
9. Expansion added MUCH MORE GRIND.
10. Everyone got MUCH MORE MAD.
11. Removed a little grind.

I’m sensing a pattern.

What grind? I have been playing pretty much every day since Beta and have come across absolutely no grinding what so ever.
