Guild Wars 2

Hey Hey

I got GW2 when it first came out, did not like the character/races looks at creation & was disappointed by ingame characters’ looks, played for a weekish to lvl 20, got lost in big Lion town and lost interest, left GW2 since.

I recently seen videos and screens of the upcoming expansion and the Revenant Shiro Tagachi. I was impressed to the point of giving GW2 another go.

My must have priorities are fun competitive melee pvp and cool looking armors.

So I’d like to ask you guys:

1. Is there any advantage of playing currently my lvl 20 guardian if I would most likely play the Revenant Shiro Tagachi?… like can I play to build or collect something to hand out to my Revenant, like pvp gear/points/coins/badges/currency or if possible even change class/job to the Revenant when it comes out?.

2. Based on given info about the Shiro Tagachi could it compete versus mages or ranged possible heavy damage and crowd control? (I hate being one shotted at max level in top gear, imbalance in imminent crowd control death in 1v1 at equal gear-skill-levels).

3. Does castle siege and open world pvp occur?. Have these forms of pvp been affected by p2w, neglected mechanics by devs, broken AoE skills, guilds that grew out of proportion etc?

MMO shopping due to: Arche=p2w & bad sieges. Aion=p2w & laggy sieges. FFXIV=miniPvP & carebears. Archlord=shutdown. Diablo3=neglected pvp. Path of Exile=expensive. Dotas= no like (need character progression). Skyforge= too startreky. Tera= uninstalled 10 times dunno why.. weird. others= too generic or Aeria crap.

currently awaiting BlackDesert & B&S.
