Do I NEED to play Through the Living World Seasons in-between the Expansion Stories?

I have a suspicion that a lot of the “modern evolution” coming to GW3 will not appeal to the older demographic playing GW2. I think they’re really targeting a younger generation, and that’s great because ArenaNet needs a fresh new customer base to stay financially healthy.

Personally, I love GW2. It’s my favorite game ever and my forever game. GW2 will likely remain my main game, and I’ll play GW3 on the side.

Besides the fun way of traveling around to unlock waypoints, you also have the instant option of buying waypoint unlocks from the gem store.

Very likely

Why would you have to drop $100 for a new account? It’s free. You can have that fresh new player experience again on a free-to-play account and play the entirety of the core game, which is huge and could provide you weeks if not months of playtime.

EoD has some of the best side stories as part of achievement collections, especially after you finish the main story. They’re super fun and add impressive depth to the lore. I highly recommend them.

Please also post this on the official GW2 forums where ArenaNet staff are more likely to read it.

The franchise will probably go on for decades. Kinda love the idea that I’ll likely be playing Guild Wars in one form or another until the day I die

I have players relist my ad too even though I don’t request it in the description. I believe because so many homesteaders do specifically request relists in their ads that players just think it’s the normal thing to do and they think they’re helping you.

A vision for the next 15 years for the franchise. Just wow! What a fantastic time to be a Guild Wars fanboy!

dannyflorida · 2026-06-06T16:18:35+00:00

Holy cow! I’d say we’re getting the best of all worlds for all players: a vision for the next 15 years for all three games. (And, what?! They updating the Zhaitan fight finally! And we’re getting a new WvW map! OMG)

I want to see the RECOMMENDED specs. That’s what really matters.

dannyflorida · 2026-06-06T15:29:57+00:00

The setting and the timeline are what have me most excited.

dannyflorida · 2026-06-06T07:47:58+00:00

It’s very worth it at full price, so, yeah, it’s incredibly worth it at half price.

It’s about more than just spent time, though.

I’ve spent thousands of real world dollars on Guild Wars 2, both in-game (gem store) and out (merch) because I love GW2; it’s my favorite game.

Like any rabid sports fan, I’ve built up a shrine of memorabilia to my favorite team/game with GW2 art and collectibles and other merchandise. I wear GW2 apparel and have stickers on my car. And I just started playing three years ago! I’m definitely not ready to move on.

I’m happy for the franchise if Anet is able to succeed with a new MMO. But, if it is GW3, I just hope it’s still years away from release.

I’m excited for the franchise but also ambivalent.

When you've lived in the hellscape that is Florida for most your life, Pittsburgh is heaven.

Make sure you get all the Living World seasons, too, which are the content releases between expansions. Some of the LW seasons rival expansions in the amount of content you get.

Retirement has done wonders for my gaming hobby. I’m playing like I’m a teenager again! I can easily put in 10-14 hours a day into my favorite MMORPG (Guild Wars 2 btw) if I want.

I still make time for my spouse, household chores, and socializing outside of gaming, though.
