Is it worth it 2022 still with Guild Wars 2?

Guild Wars is a multiplayer online action parlor game developed by Rennet, a subsidiary of South Korean game author NCS OFT, as well as released in 2005. As the original installment of the Guild Wars collection, its campaign was retroactively entitled Revelations to separate it from the content of succeeding releases. The game includes a co-operative role-playing section as well as a competitive Player versus Player (PVP) part. In PVP, players may use either their co-operative personalities or PvP-exclusive personalities who are inherently optimal degree and also have account-based accessibility to unlocked content.

The MMORPGGuild Wars 2 is planning a new expansion for the 2022nd In terms of content updates, players can look forward to regular updates. But why it pays to start over with Guild Wars 2 in 2022? Our author Alexander Latch clears you up.

Where does Guild Wars 2 early in 2022? The MMORPG is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Since release a lot has happened and there were proper heights with extensions Hearth of Thorns and Path of Fire, as well as the depths of collective redundancies beginning of 2019.

2022, however, it looks for Guild Wars 2 first perfect:

The major expansion End of Dragons will be released in February. This leads to the area Cant ha, the veteran could possibly know of Guild Wars Factions. It brings new areas, new endgame content, elite specializations and the new features fishing and shipping. Before any new insights into the areas to be given in January, the release date betrayed and started the Lunar New Year. It is an annual event for the Chinese New Year, which begins on 25 January.

But what this news means for newcomers?

Note: This article originally appeared in March 2020 and was last updated on January 2, 2022nd We are increasingly on the expansion and current developments of GW2 received.

worth now the entry? In my eyes is now a very good time to go into Guild Wars. 2 Especially for newcomers there is to discover a vast world that is constantly being expanded more than 9 years.

You have content, tasks and stories that you will employ over hundreds of hours. And you'll get right now Story content that will be important for the upcoming expansion.

I tell you below, which indicates an entry into Guild Wars 2, what you need to know about the game and what especially makes the MMORPG.

About the Author: Alexander Latch already played the predecessor of Guild Wars 2 is very intense and since August 2012, more than 8,100 hours of play in GW2. He has played every story, seen every raid, more than 34,000 Achievement points and was temporarily shout caster in PVP. On Mango he is also responsible for many other MMORPGs.

A huge world in which the Endgame begins with the start

How is Guild Wars 2? Is Rennet The MMORPG from US developer Free2Play, with the only refers to the basic game, the vanilla world. For the two expansions Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire you have unique Path of Fire buy. The other expansion is free with it.

Guild Wars 2 to dispense with a classic Holy Trinity. Instead, dodge, heal yourself every class and usually has additional defensive skills in the luggage.

At character creation you have made the choice:

5 peoples. 8 (with expansion 9) classes to which we here give more details. Various visual customization options. Some character-related questions, take on the trip to the Max Level 80 affect your personal story.

In the open world you do not expect classic quests, but you explore the surroundings. Here you meet the heart, a replacement for the Quest. A heart must be filled by their tasks done. But usually you have different options available to do around the heart.

Also popping up all over the world events. Some have a timer, others react to actions within the card. Scattered world events are so large that they affect the entire area. Which was used particularly in the expansion Heart of Thorns.

There are also many experience points only for uncovering the map, discovering special places and looking panoramas that are usually concealed behind jumping puzzles.

What does the MMORPG In Guild Wars 2 you are allowed to rejoice to the following content?:

About 50 open Eve areas. More than 150 story missions. Countless bosses and world events that are regularly completed by players. 8 dungeons, each with 4-5 different paths. 20 different fractals (5-player instance) with a total of 100 levels. 7 Raid wings. Various PVP arenas, Seasons and game modes. Automated 5v5 tournaments and events such as the Tournament of Legends. World against world, three servers in the fight for control of fortresses and towers.

What is Guild Wars 2 different? At the MMORPG fascinates me most is the combat system. It is very dynamic and is for me the best that you can currently find.

Although the skill selection is not huge, by restricting to 10 weapons skills (each 5 per weapon and a possible weapon change in combat) and 5 auxiliary skills, one is forced to confine themselves to certain skills.

Add to that the mode with the so-called action camera, which can activate it on request and with which you should then target your opponent exactly. This brings again more dynamics into the game.

Another highlight is the ribs introduced by the extension Path of Fire. Each animal has a special benefit:

Raptors can jump far. Springer can jump up. Jackals run especially fast. Grab can slide in the air.

Overall, Guild Wars 2 currently offers 9 different ribs that we will introduce you to the guide in more detail. Each has several skins that buy it for real money or in-game currency and has even been a skin that you can earn you.

A healthy player base

Are still players in the starting areas? Yes, because even for veterans there are many incentives to return to the starting areas, including:

Rewards for the complete revealing the card. World bosses, which also appear in many initial zones and with a fixed timer. Successes that can be made on the cards. Collecting lower materials that usually have more value than the highest steps. Dungeons whose entrances are in some starting areas.

Guild Wars 2 uses a dynamic realization system. Level 80s are weaker in the low-level areas, though not quite as weak as freshly created characters. So they stay slightly stronger, but can still not defeat everything with a blow.

What about other areas of the game? Especially for world bosses and world events whose emergence can be made with a timer are always many players.

For the fractal and in the world against the world, players are always to be found. There is a little harder for arena PVP and Raids. The number of hardcore players has declined noticeably while casual players like to hang on Guild Wars 2.

Many updates for the EVE — little for the rest

What about updates in Guild Wars 2? Guild Wars 2 uses for updates next to the extensions above all the so-called vibrant world. New content is published, which are free, as long as you are live.

The rule applies that you have to log in between two episodes to the contents like:

New Story New rewards at dealers New features such as dominants or new mounts And sooner regularly new areas

Turn off. An episode usually appears after an extension in the rhythm of 2 to 4 months. After that, an episode costs gems that can be purchased with In game currency or real money (converted about 2.50 euros).

There are also constantly festivals, including Winter Day, Halloween, the so-called dragon-poluter in May or the feast of the four winds in summer. These events ensure special activities, skins and successes that you can do for a few weeks.

How to look with other content? Away from the Casual-PVE it looks in Guild Wars 2 currently a little MAU:

In the PVP, there was always balance adjustments and 2020 new mini-Seasons were introduced for bridging, but there was really much new content. In WOW, players have been waiting for a promised great revision for almost 4 years. However, that's finally coming 2022. For friends of instantiated content, there was a new fractal in September 2020, but the players are already waiting for 1.5 years. Here, the attack missions from End of Dragons should assist in the future.

Nevertheless, Guild Wars 2 offers a lot of content for newcomers. Due to missing monthly fees and the regular updates, the Gamester Guild Wars 2 called the Perfect Support or Second MMO.

After all, you can see updates that enjoy regular festivals and then switch to another game without losing much.

The end of the MMORPG seems far away

What does the future look like? As already mentioned planned the developers of Guild Wars 2 a new extension that will appear this year.

If you are going now, you are busy for weeks and months. Personally, I recommend that you explore the world slowly not to rush to the final game and taste you with other players.

And look at the world bosses (Via Timer on Guilders) and World Events (Via Timer on GuildWiki). For me, that was my entry-level drug in Guild Wars 2. Huge bosses and collapsed with dozens of foreign players.

Why is the entry point now? Who starts now with Guild Wars 2, could bring its character to level 80 until the extension appears and unlock the various mounts. Then you could explore the new contents directly together with the veterans. In addition, the basic game Free2play, which keeps the entry hurdle quite low. So if you are looking for a new MMORPG, GW2 should give a chance. If you want to inform you more about the game, we recommend this article about: Which game types is actually Guild Wars 2?
