Hey all! Most of you probably don't remember me, but I was a pretty prolific poster around here about a year ago. I quit guild wars a while back, but am looking to rejoin the fun. Can anyone tell me what has been going on for the last 8 months? I read the game updates, but those don't help that much.
So what are the new pve/pvp metas? farming spots? items? things to do?
thanks!
So, what's up with Guild Wars?

You can now do the same stuff you already did and if you did it often enough you get a bag for it.
Plus there is now a pet trainer, also an errant dolyak with an ascalonian refugee who gives odd gifts for collectibles.

a bag? what kinda bags are we talking about?
Squishy ftw
I recently started playing again after a 3-month break, a lot shorter than yours, but here's what I did to get back into stuff:
- I read all past updates I missed
- I went through PvX to see what builds are popular now and then went on obs for a few hours to see the actually correct builds being used.
- Messed around in PvE to adjust my favourite team builds (some lolwut skill changes happened)

April 23 update contains the most notable PvE differences imo.

You will not be able to join a team in any area unless you are a Perma sin, or a RoJ monk.
The current farms are UW-Speed Clears, FoW-Speed Clears.
April update brought us a pokemon style "catch them all" Zoo, where you feel compelled to fill with all of GWs pets.
We have a stylist where you can pay real money to change your ingame chars appearence, waste imo.
We now have Zaishen Dailies, which change every day. 1 quest is to do a mission and you get bonus' for completetion in hardmode + doing the mission bonus. The other is a bounty to kill a boss somewhere in GW. And the other is a repeatable PVP challange (win 3 ranked GVGs etc..)
These quests reward Zaishen Coins, which are non-tradeable but can be used to acquire "Equipment bags" which are used to hold your armor, weapons etc.
There are other things to trade in for but i don't think anyone does.
Doing a zquest will award you X amount of Bronze Zcoins, which you then trade up to Silver, which when you got enough silver, can trade upto Gold, which finally then when you save up enough gold, you can trade in for an extra bag.
Oh and finally we can purchase upto 4 extra storage window panes, and you can get your free 1 storage window pane up until the 31st of may i think, so hurry!

^I believe that one's rather accurate, or so I've been told.

*shrug* I dunno, I just don't see the point in playing if you've got to PUG to get real people in your group. meh.

I liked Evil Empire best. "Rolling down Rodeo" was a wet dream for me.
OT: yeah, a few skill changes, Ursan was nerfed, and pve skill grind was lowered with the minimums being raised. Other than that, welcome back.

Have you claim your free storage pane?

Hm... let's see... Nicholas... Menagerie... ZQuests... New little storage panels that will get filled too... apearance changes that must be paid with disproportionate prices every time you want to change even only your hair color... Bags that PvE players need more but PvP players can get easier... Areas that do not allow henchmen and are designed for full parties are swarmed with solo and speed farmers and runers and not many people actually plays there anymore...
Not much new stuff... almost like always.
