Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played since 2013, in late December, I now have the means to play again, I had several 80s working on ascended and legendary’s. Has a lot changed in the last 8 month’s? Should I start a new character to get refreshed and etc..? Any information and advice is welcome.

The new trait system makes things very difficult for new characters.

I’d recommend getting back on your 80s to get refreshed first before attempting a new character, since they’re somewhat hamstrung by default now.
