Returning after a long long time

[Dark Revan.7634]

Hello there, I stopped playing a good 4-5 years go due to personal stuff and burn out but I have recently wanted to get back into playing, the problem is I logged in and everything has changed and I just feel lost on what is what. Can anyone point me towards a website/youtube channel that can take me up to speed? I've tried searching on the forums but I didn't find anything (might have searched in the wrong place?).

try a HoT review or something since that's when most new systems where introduced

(HoT == Heart of Thorns, the first expansion)

 

Don't forget to read about PoF (Path of Fire, the second expansion) for information about the mount system.

I'll have a look at the expansions, what about the living story stuff? Will I be able to do the old ones or catch up on the story somehow?

Season 1 is blocked for everyone, even for new characters made by people who were playing at the time. There is a "recap" thing at the "Dead End" point-of-interest in Divinity's Reach where you can see a summary of the broad strokes of Season 1.

 

Season 2 (between Season 1 and the beginning of HoT) and Season 3 (between HoT and PoF) are available, but you have to pay for them in the Gem Store, and "past" episodes of Season 4 are the same.

Wooden Potatoes has videos explaining all changes in the game. In fact, he is doing a series right now explaining _everything_ currently in the game, from L1 up.

 

Welcome return, and good luck.
