Guild Wars 2

Thank you everyone that provided information on the actual game. It seems that there are some things worth checking out.

1. Music
2. Some of the art design, especially 2D concept-like stuff
3. A breather from Holy Trinity
4. Jumping Puzzles
5. ?

1. Engine that`s not appropriate for an MMO. I expected a huge open world, but I got little closed off rooms. Breaks immersion immensly. You can always tell where the room ends by the map – no exploration enjoyment at all. A bit better than SWTOR (which is terrible in this part) but long ways away from WoW which came out in 2004, kitten it!
2. Living Story – after a 6 month hiatus there`s almost no new content at all that would make me play the game again. Expansion pack would be a much better, less rushed solution imo.
3. No reason to return to quest areas – the world is completely empty. Can`t do any of the group content with alts and it makes you feel like playing an average SP RPG.
4. Pretty monotomous loot. One of the main reasons I play MMOs is loot, specifically how it looks. Untill some level 30 my ranger looked all the same with basically different color variations of the same chest peace.
5. Skill build and weapon choices become set in stone too fast with no further options to change gameplay. It might be fine for a 30 hour SP RPG but in MMOs you are supposed to spend hundreds of hours. Basically not enough weapon skill variety and no options for further progress in this part of the game resulting in gameplay becoming a boring routine in PvE (because AI is nonexistent). Works at least decently in PvP. Still some variety would go a long way.

GW2 has always been installed, but I just don`t really feel like turning it on. I hoped for some new things to see or do but I guess it`s better business catering to the core playerbase than getting back people that left. They would probably leave again some time later anyway.

Some more permanent content wouldn`t hurt though… Any news on an expansion pack or something like that?

Hello! I`ve not really played GW2 since the original Fractals patch. Can you tell me what new features and content have been implemented since then and are worthwile for visiting Guild Wars 2 again?
