Guild Wars 2

Hi guys and girls perhaps!

When guildwars 2 was released i started playing immediatly and got 2 characters to level 80 quickly (warrior and ele). Since there wasnt a lot of things to do when you were 80 except for getting a legendary which wasnt worth the time in my eyes i quit.

Now im considering getting back to guildwars 2 and rolling either a ranger or a thief. A few questions tho…
Is the max level still 80?
Can you guys list me the most important updates and changes i need to know about, items i need to get like new gear or something (i rolled full orange gear before i quit on both chars)?

Thanks!

You missed out on a lot of content then…
Every 2 weeks we get more content called the (Living Story).

Lots have changed since then… It would be difficult to list everything because I played since beta and now.

Read and check this guide out, I’m sure it can help with some of your questions:

Yeah got that right Good night! Thanks again!

I have to disagree with the fact that there is not much to do when you are level 80. Besides designated level 80 content like living story (can be done on lower levels, but is ment to keep us busy between expansions), there are dungeons, Fractals of the mist, world boss events, and regular farming or train farming. You can also go PvP or WvW.

The issue many players had, specially at the start is that they expected this to be like msot MMO’s where you aren’t a real players untill you are max level. This way they missed out a lot.

So my actual advice is to use your level 80’s to make a new character, but this time don’t rush to 80, but take your time. Try to boost the crafting up to max while you level. Go full map exploration. Do events you encounter.

Yeah i see what you mean, but when i quit fractals wasn’t released yet. I had 2 crafting skills maxed out and explored quite some maps. I definitely did a lot of events and took some extra time to explore most things, after 80 it just didnt seem worth it to play still only to get a legendary which were barely any better than exotics.

I’d start looking for activities that you enjoy but that don’t have an expiration date. Everything that is progression related will inevitably run out at some point, that’s a basic fault in most MMOs design.
If you find something that’s fun to you, and that doesn’t have some kind of cap, than you won’t run out of things to do. PvP is the easiest answer, as that never ends. For PvE it’s a bit harder, you essentially need to make up your own goals to pursue.
