Guild Wars 2

Wow. Such great and thorough answers. Thanks so much UnbentMars, Thaddues and Belzebu.

You three really spell out HOT as exactly what I was hoping it would be. I’m going to be downloading it right after I finish typing this. And it’s great to know my exotic armor is good to go and I’ll slowly work toward Ascended. I have a lot of Laurels so I may go buy a ring or amulet right away.

Two more small questions
Do I need exotic water weapons? Meaning those stats only matter in water, right? I don’t carry my water weapon stats on land do I?

Final Question
Do you guys, being level 80, still do your dailes? I did them for the writs of experience for levelling, but are they worth it.

Many thanks for you answers. See you in game

Hello,

I just reached lvl 80 last night with my Charr Guardian. I looked up youtube and read some tidbits on what to do at 80, but some answers have left me with more questions.

So if you would like to respond to any or all of the questions below, it would be much appreciated. ?

First off, I read things to do at 80 and I realize I need to decide my game. I don’t like pvp at all. I am not sure about dungeons/fracturals, but I may give them a try. What I like about this game is the map exploring and I really really like the dynamic spontaneous events that happen around the map. I think the most fun I’ve had in any rpg/mmorpg are these events that start with a small escort quest (or similar) and chain into an all-out war between players and npcs. I’ve had gallons of fun levelling up this way.

So that being said, I’d like to continue with these spontaneous map adventures at level 80. I bought some exotic gear and quickly checked out Silverwaste before bed last night and I am looking forward to the other lvl 80 zones

That being said,

Question 1
Do I need more than exotic gear to go through all the level 80 zones (i.e., ascended)? Are there lots of dynamic world events in these level 80 zones and what are the rewards?

Question 2
If I decide to try dungeons or fracturals, is there some kind of LFG finder (kind of like WOW) to get started? Are they newb friendly to complete? Is exotic gear enough?

Question 3
What is Season 2? Should I buy it? I read up on it on the wiki and the descriptions are a bit vague. Is it just a single player campaign (like my own personal story I went through)? Are there maps and dynamic multi-player events (that a mentioned I like so much) in Season 2.

Question4
Should I go for map completion? What are the rewards? Can I do partial map completion without jumping puzzles (don’t much like them); I do like the heart quests though.

Question 5 – the big questions – Heart of Thorns
Now knowing what I like in a game (map exploration and big spontaneous events in the world) should I buy Heart of Thorns? Are there dynamic spontaneous multi-player events in those areas, like in the rest of the world.?
I read that the mobs are hard. Is exotic gear enough? I also read you need to group up for mobs and especially for hero points. Is this tough to group up? Do people naturally migrate to help out with the hard npc’s, as I notice they do throughout levels 1 to 80?
As a Guardian, would it be hard to get my Elite spec? Is all the fuss about this spec just about using a bow? Is it worth it? I’ve been going around the map a great deal and I am sitting at 65 extra hero points at level 80. Though I think I may still need to fill in some old skills to get full completion and thus move onto my elite?

Anyways, that’s all my questions for now. ? Thanks very much for your time.

Cheers,

Hey,

I’ve been away from this game for a while. Thinking about coming back.

Are there any servers that are full of people. I’d like to play again but only if the areas are full of people like I remembered, with people doing escort quests and events and stuff.

I’d be willing to pay for server transfer if such a server exists.

Thanks for you time
