Guild Wars 2

I would not count on Mac being supported. Gaming in general seems to be moving away from mac support.

When Hot is released. Standard gets its slot then as well.

You cannot buy the expansion through the gem store. You can only upgrade the expansion to deluxe once you’ve bought the expansion with real money.

Yes you can.
I did not say you can buy it with gems i just said i can buy it through the gem store.

Lol a good portion of the community knows that you can buy it in-game. Saying that you’re buying it “through the gem store” can lead people to believe you think gems are involved. It’s not unteasonable. Glad you know that gems aren’t involved but you’d be surprised at how many people think the opposite is true or that it should be available that way.

I have an idea, let’s put a man on the moon by sending them to mars, starting a colony while raising a family so that family can help build a rocket over the course of 50 years and then launch that rocket to the moon. It’s FOOL PROOF.

Unfortunately if you’re a new player looking for story, this is the absolute worst time to join if you want to do it all in game. Fixes and additions are being worked on but you’ll need to YouTube the story to get close to an idea of what is going on. The beginning of the real story was LS season 1 and if you missed that you are up kitten creek until it’s put into the game via gemstone or otherwise. What you did was season 2 which you really shouldn’t have bothered with if you wanted any sort of chronological sense to be happening. YouTube season 1 and look at Anet’s recap videos on their YouTube channel as well.

If they kept giving out low level content soley so people could level their alts and “help friends” there’d be nobody left interested in the game from way back (and it’s halfway gotten to that point for a lot of people).

More 80 zones are crucial in a game like this. Anet still hasn’t perfected their scaledown/scaleup system and it shows if you have a legendary and ascended gear. You just go through most of the lower zones 1-3 shotting everything, which is what they wanted to avoid in the first place.

All that being said, the new trailer shows lower level zones are somewhat involved (guard getting attacked by tentacle in timberline falls). But I believe all the new zones they bring in will definitely be 80, and it’s a good thing too. This game desperately needs end game PvE zones and has for a while. I think they did a great job with dry top despite the brevity of the story and small map size, and hope there’s more good maps like it to come (maybe with even more verticality).

As a frame of reference, I have played since day 1, helped lead multiple guilds and am well aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of the new patch. I still think it’s a step in the right direction.
