Guild Wars 2 July 2016

Rawr!

So, since starting up with GW2, I so far haven't gotten sick of it, and it is July. It is somewhat of a grind at max level for sure, but there are enough various ways to do the grinding for gold, that it doesn't get tedious.

The Ley-Line events are not the most involved events ever, but they are something that keeps changing, while the rest of the world is settling in for me. I did get season 2, and have been playing it with my wife, and frankly, we love Jory and Kas, but besides that, the story is more of a few 'Ah ha!' moments and not super special.

It is all a little above ok. I don't get super excited to play and such, but since we haven't finished the season 2 stuff, we haven't gotten HoT yet, which I can already see the value in, and we do intend to get it. We just don't want to be lost in the story or anything. We want to know what is happening. So there isn't a rush.

Plus, honestly, I feel like once all of the story stuff is over, the exploration is complete, and the farming begins, it will go back to feeling like the grind for gold. I want to delay that feeling. So I am not rushing to max content. Right now, everything is going along fine, and that is good enough.

I will say that I do hope someday they make Season 1 of the Living World content into chapters and put it in the gem store. When we stopped playing, Scarlet Rose was a new enemy, Jory had literally just met Kas, and the Zephyrites were just a bunch of people wanting us to play sanctum sprint and get dream catcher back armor while watchknights were disrupting things while Queen Jenna was trying to have a celebration.

It would be cool to see the middle part, and while I am looking forward to some holiday events to come around to add a tiny bit of spice to things, mostly, I am actually pretty content with the game.

One thing I will say, is that WvW is not dead for my server. I have seen people mention that WvW is not very active, but it is actually something that I have been enjoying a decent amount. Could help that I am in the rank 2 servers.

Anyhoo, the adventure of gaming is kinda mellow at the moment, but still going, and still engaging, so GW2 is where we are staying.

Rawr! :)
