Coming back to the game

[Emmrahil.1934]

Hello everyone!! after a break of about 2 years i decide to come back to the game...before the break i used to play sPvP mostly but i also played WvW and a bit of PvE and i was also a twitch streamer..i am not sure if i have the time to play as much as i played before the break now so i guess i will mostly do WvW and PvE at least as a start..my question is..how much tha game changed? before my break i was just learned Path of Fire a bit...are new areas added? new skills? new professions? where you think i should focus as a person who just came back to the game? any advices or things i should know?

Hi and welcome back.

 

An important new element for WvW is world linking. This is a type of matchmaking where several worlds are linked together for a period to fight as one. The result is less worlds that are hardly competitive and a more competitive setup.

 

There are new area's added in open world PvE. This is part of living world season 4 and 5. These also come with 2 extra mounts. WvW also got a mount released specially for that format. You need to buy these living world seasons with gems (which you can farm of buy with money). The exception is the current release, but that one does not include a new map.

 

There are no new skills and professions added since the launch of PoF. There have been some skill balance updates released, but nothing major.

 

The most important development is the announcement of End of Dragons. This release will follow somewhere after the end of the current living world season that should finish in a few months. It is a an expansion like PoF and HoT and should have simular content like new elite specialisations. Nothing has been confirmed except the name and the setting (Cantha)

I guess then maybe is a good idea to do the new parts of story as a start ..i always liked the story of GW2 and i kept doing it even when i was mostly sPvP in the game..and also maybe would be a good way to remember basic mechanics of game and start feeling familiar with that again
