Arg. Where will I find awesome people to get caught up with?

I bought GW2 when it launched but never put the time to play it fully. I started a new character about 2 months ago. I already finished the personal story, map completion 100% and the Heart of Thornes story. I'm a very slow player, getting distracted looking at pretty landscapes and such. You can get through the content really fast.I feel like I missed out too many things to come back. I haven't even finish the last personal story
(It's still there. We still have a guild. We still have officers. You can come back anytime. I actually expect that we should be having returning players and the guild should hopefully become active once again.)
It still exists and hopefully it will see a resurgence. You can get an invite to it if you want, PM me your account name for GW2 and I'll send you an invite if you're not in the guild anymore.

Holy shit new 40 skills! Weaver looks cool!
Wow, I left the game when raid was introduced. Hopefully more people will join the guild when the expansion launches.
Someone ask Kos to get the band back together.

Well, from what I understand, HoT was $50. So for the same price, you get both PoF and HoT this time.
Try out the core game for free!

I haven't played in about two years but I probably have put more time into this game than any other game I've played. It's not for everyone but it's unique and if it grabs you, it holds on tight.
Yup, that's how it works.
They were never going to reduce the price AND include HoT unless they wanted to piss off their fanbase.

Trying to convince WoW players to pay $50 gonna be hard, even though they pay a ton more to play WoW lol...

I honestly can't wait for them to introduce mount skins.
Mounts = cash shop out the ass. If you thought they went overboard with glider skins, lol
Holosmith and Weaver sound so cool.

Mounts new Glider...
I do love that mounts are tied to mastery and i don't have to purchase a different mount for each new skill it offers, just Skins, going to be replacing Jumper mount ASAP..lol
Mounts probably each have their own mastery lines to unlock more abilities.

I just hope Mounts won't be like HoT Glider, we needed an update to use Gliders in GW2, i hope I can use mounts in any game...
So this would be all I need to play without the F2P restrictions, right?
Correct.
Awesome! I guess I'll give it a try then. Last time I took a look was during the release week.
They confirmed you can use mounts in core tyria, don't know about in HoT.

I need Wooden Potatoes post stream as soon as possible so I can see him go over all the classes again.

How much does the F2P prohibit?
Here's the page with all of the information.

If you buy HoT or PoF you get the restrictions removed.

I would summarize it here but the table at the link really puts it as organized as you can make it.

Depends on the content, if it's as good as the base game than yes definitely worth it and not expensive at all for how rich the game was, but if it's poor content wise and filled with bugs than not so much.
I do hope POF turns out amazing better than HOT (which I didn't enjoy and am glad I got it in sales).
Fair enough.
I do think POF might be a bit deceptive.
I noticed in other threads on various sites some questioning the price point for 5 zones (even though something like Stormblood is $40 for 6 zones), but the 5 Zones are far larger than previous zones. HoT zones were about on par with the base games zones, maybe slightly bigger due to verticality.
However they said in the post-stream show for POF that they could have split up the zones in POF and said they had more zones in the expansion but decided to put the zones together so you have these massive maps rather than more maps and more load times between the areas.

It definitely looks interesting. I played through vanilla GW2 and all the Living World/Story stuff up to the HoT release. I did purchase HoT but kinda put it down a few weeks after and never got to finish the story since. Going to a desert/sand dune environment sounds really promising and its been something I've been waiting for in an MMO.
Everytime I play this game I cannot get into it... I dunno if it is the class I play or what but I just can't.
I find the maps overwhelming too as I feel I HAVE to do everything on them which bugs me.
I dunno, stuff like this makes me wanna re-download it.
Edit: Also as I preordered the game and paid for it before this f2p stuff, what does my account class as?

Rank the elite specializations by coolness:

All of them are fantastic though. There's no Dragon Hunter or Tempest in the bunch.

Alright GW2 players, quick question: I bought this, years ago on Amazon when a friend gave me a gift card, I'm trying to reset my account password but it's telling me I need the freaking serial code found in an e-mail from when I bought it, is there any other way to recover this so I can get back into my account?

Contact support, explain the situation, if at at least have access to the email account you used to create your GW2 account, you should be able to get reset information from them, if you don't have access could be a tough situation....
yeah contact support for reals
Elite Specs that interest me the most
Firebrand
Holosmith
Soulbeast
Deadeye having a specific sniping stance makes me giddy like crazy.
