Guild Wars 2

Remember, even if you don't plan on playing any time soon, log into the game at least once during each new episode to have it permanently unlocked in your Journal (so you can play/replay it in the future).

If you don't log in once while it's the active story step you'll have to pay gems to unlock it later down the line.
 
So, the new patch is awesome! Fantastic story instances, more new areas, and OMG dat ending cinematic. Plus tons of cool throwback references to GW1.

They've really stepped up their game with this Season 2 content. It actually feels like a mini expansion every 2 weeks! I hope they can keep this up!
 
Best LS update in a long time - I like it.

Their environment design team has to be one of the best in the industry.

I hate the infrequent and poor class balance changes (I main mesmer so every patch is like a kick in the teeth), but for now am pleasantly distracted by Taimi and the LS. :D

Lucky for me you mentioned this. I had not installed GW2 since I did a windows reinstall. I've been playing too much Divinity Original Sin! Missed out of the first episode but got the second. How are they going to bring more episodes? I had plenty of gold so bought the 200 diamonds to get episode 1.

Thanks for that. I just deleted the email without reading it properly.
 
The Dragon's Reach : Part 1

As the adventure of Season 2 continues, the whole of Tyria is threatened by the peril of the Elder Dragon Mordremoth. Attacks by its minions have stretched ever-farther afield, from the arid Maguuma wastes to the Timberline Falls and the heart of Kryta. All of Tyria must come to understand this dire threat.

I'm at a bit of a loss now. I love the extra story lines that are going on, and the festive games are ok the first time. Crafting was also great fun, until you get to 400 and it now takes massive grind to get up the levels.
They also seem to ruin the queen jubilee thing, where you could only grind tickets (which I hated)

I left getting into dungeons and pvp/wvw until about a year of playing the game, so I've been enjoying them.
Now I've done most things and explored every map (5 times over!) there doesn't seem to be a lot to do other than grind like crazy to get ascended gear that has slightly better stats that what I already have got.

I've definitely got my moneys worth 10 times over. I have a load of 'ascending' type crafting materials but have no interest in the massive grind to get a different looking sword or gun that has marginally better stats that my exotic stuff.

Am I missing anything else? I still see massive amount of people playing, and think I must be missing something, or are they all grinding?

I seem to go on now and grind the mystic forge, which makes lots of gold but then I go and spend a few hundred on lvl 70-80 weapons in hope of getting one of the decent ones in the forge... which has not happened so far after sinking well over 1000 gold into it... but I had fun doing it!

Ive seen these guild quest markers but im not in a guild so have no access. What are they?

PvP/WvW for the most part.

Dungeons are insanely contrived and boring, and I only do pve world bosses for the dragonite ore.

But fighting other players never gets old.

Also ascended weapons are well worth the 5% damage increase. Ascended armour on the other hand is a waste of money unless you really want that tiny bit extra stats.

Once you've got the gear for the builds you like playing, there's no need to grind for anything - simply enjoy the combat and LS.
 
I find it entertaining running dungeons in small solo and duos. its more of a challenge, also for ascended gear, there is a fair bit of time gated stuff and the cost of an armour set is very large but the grind isnt that big, just let it tick over in the background then as you reach the materials for something new go and craft it, no need to grind it in a day at all!

get in a guild, do things with people, its an MMO.
