... I have leveled all my characters through playing around. walking from story to story instance and occasionally doing a heart quest.
Not one of my characters has world completion.
Not one of my characters has defeated Zhaitan.
I play player versus TradingPost a lot.
I could buy legendaries if i wanted to.
I don't.
what do i play for? experiencing the story.
And occasionally trying to find a nice money grinding spot.
Manipulating the Economy.
those zhaitaffy i bought? sold for 500%

There's lots to do in GW2. You just have to look.

I'm probably gonna try getting back into this game I guess. Probably gonna work on getting my Necro to 80 and making a Ranger to do the same with eventually.
Though I should probably get world completion done too, kinda gave up at 50%.

Soon as I'm updated I'll put my... whatever it's called here so anyone who hasn't can friend me, and we can hang out some time, maybe do some fracs, etc.

So, ah, I got this game.

Did anyone else do that?

There are some pretty legit DDoSings happening against NCsoft right now so don't be expecting to pound away much time in this game until they stop.

I'm reading through the feature pack coming in September and it's pretty exciting. A few neat changes:

Guilds now go across all servers
Performance improvements
New craft-only items
Megaserver changes to be clearer about map management
Leveling and personal story revamped to be clearer and more rewarding

A few potentially bad changes:

They're tying loot to your profession. Market turmoil ahoy.
Elementalists are getting nerfed again

Here's an overview of the changes: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/feature-packs/

Looks like everything is up in flames over the new feature pack :/

[Facekillz058]

The patch had... ups and downs.
One you get used to all the new stuff, the only truly annoying this is the way that your Personal Story chapters unlock every X levels now.
I've also found it just a bit harder to keep up, level-wise, with heart quests.

Just took a look at the forums.  They removed bundles and took hearts out of Metrica?  ANet, what is this madness?  This was supposed to be adding features, not removing the interesting and quirky parts of the game!

Good grief, they level gated diving goggles and skill points, and are forcing people to do the storyline by nerfing XP gain at level 29 until they do that?

I no longer want to level my alts at all.  This is the complete opposite of what this patch was intended to do.

[Euld]

The level 29 exp nerf is actually a bug o_O  A pretty horrible bug, but a bug nonetheless.  Annoys me how they decided to up and change a ton of stuff that worked just fine.

Well, that's a relief.

I hate how ANet keeps pulling the most interesting bits of the game out.

I still think the original Halloween update was the best update. Nothing has topped the Mad King IMO.  The game really tanked after the karka update and Ascended gear got introduced, and now they're merging the changes intended for the grind and skill treadmill loving Asian market into the main version.  The Asura beginning zone apparently lost fun content because it was 'too confusing'.  Huh? People can handle dungeon mechanics, but not golem chess? What is this?

I was holding off on leveling alts until after the improvements in this patch, but now I think I'm going to wait a bit longer. Unless the changes to drop rates have really limited the availability of crafting materials, there's no reason for me to try and finish off the other classes now.

The new megaboss schedule is complete and utter idiocy. Working people in western Europe and the eastern US can't play several of the megabosses at all now.

Also: I just learned that the next Halloween update only runs from Oct 21 - Nov 4.  I really don't like the shorter update cycle for this kind of thing. 

[Ghills]

Bumping to say that the new patch is not that bad. The changes to how traits are earned are complete and utter crap, but I really like the new leveling otherwise. All my characters were already created before the patch, so their traits are unlocked automatically now.  I'm probably never going to make another alt, but leveling the ones I have isn't a problem. The megaservers make the maps feel more alive, but it's pretty depressing that nothing's improved in Lion's Arch or Kessex Hills. 

I'm having fun running around with my guild doing guild missions and prepping for Halloween mostly.  We'll see what the next batch of Living Story brings.

I have not played the in about 8-9 months. Can anyone tell me if they ever ungimped the Ranger? They kept saying a fix was coming but I never saw it.
