Best refresh to GW2 in ages. The story was awesome, the world building, the characters etc. Felicia Day killed it with Zojja, and I’m super excited to see more.
Maps were decent, loved the visuals, loved the fractal idea and how the wizards are experimenting on them, playing God
The kryptis are awesome. They look great but could have more variety in the way they attack, the way there were so many different types of forged or mordem, but I’m still up for more.
Wizards tower is my most frequented hub now and I think it’ll stay that way. Everything’s within reach and the portal scroll makes it as easy to get to as other hubs like mistlock sancuary
The vault daily system is the best change in years. I’m actually encouraged to go out and do content daily and the idea of getting rewards from it means it’s never wasted effort. I had a bunch of mats in my bank so that legendary starter kit got me far enough that all I need to finish the legendary Bolt is a gift of battle. Another fantastic addition.
Couldn’t praise this expac enough, and it’s not even over. Major changes to relics and reach profession will get another weapon in a few months time to bolster the gameplay. Another expansion is already being worked on so no content droughts between expacs.
I’ve no idea what you’re going on about, OP but find me a game with better value for money for $25 and I’ll join you. Imo I disagree with pretty much everything you said, even in your previous post, except that the story was awesome (even though it felt like you were coughing up blood trying to admit it).
