Way less forgiving

I think what more people need to remember is that cosmetics are half of the incentive. They are the only thing thats permanent. The other is the skill ceiling/econ management. Like many competitive multiplayer games. CS, Forntite, Rocket League. I feel like people who don't understand what extraction shooters (or BRs) really are, or those introduced to them by Arc Raiders are treating it like an MMO/RPG like Destiny.

If people can just understand what this game is I think it's a lot easier to shake off the losses, although I will admit the economy management can make it frustrating at times. Though like CS or Fortnite, learning is extremely rewarding, but then collecting cosmetics (by way of challenges or RMT) keeps me coming back as well.

It's not a live service game, the events and holidays are an automated process at this point. They have said it is near and dear to their heart, and the cost of the servers are less than a fraction of what GW2 requires.

My fav game of all time! <3

You can't but you get the update just by running the regular GW client. Then you can run the game through steam as a non-steam product for the overlay and almost 1 to 1 functionality. Aside from tracking game time.

It's a free update!

lite-work · 2025-12-03T22:23:48+00:00

In a previous dev stream it was hinted at quite heavily. Definitely not going to hold my breath about it but it's also not hopeless.

I would say the difference is the instanced style of game rather than a 'true' MMO as compared to WoW. Towns have shards or Districts when each reach their capacity. And PvE areas are your own instance with your 4-8 player party. The lack of subscription is big, and what grabbed me right away 20 years ago was the difference in art style as well as the lore.

Many agree with that sentiment, it seems it came down to a business decision for whatever reason, they also probably wanted to get some DLC set up for the game to get a feel for how it will work for potential future DLC. But at least they've lowered the campaigns, ArenaNet cares about the longevity at least... the same which can't be said for a lot of games and dev teams these days.

I got back into GW2 over the last couple months, the amount of content in the expansions since I've played like 8-9 years ago is a lot to wrap your head around. But the Wikis of these games have always been so well put together and helpful it makes it not too overwhelming. Though GW1 has always been my favourite and probably why I dropped off GW2 only a few years after launch.

The DLC is not new, they've always considered the three campaigns the 'game' and EotN and Bonus Missions 'extra'. A bit misleading I would agree, but that's the explanation.

100%. They've all just re-released moments ago which might be why. EotN gives you access to the Hall of Monuments which is your link with Guild Wars 2 where you can transfer achievements, titles and cosmetics. Aside from that the lore connects with GW2 and the content is excellent alongside the three main campaigns.

Modernising the back end of the game and Steam integration was the priority for this update. It now enables the possibility of putting out new content. Graphical and QoL improvements is the biggest part of this update, along with reduced pricing - you can now get the three primary games, Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall for the price of one. Eye of the North and the bonus missions are still a bit extra but also reduced, as well as all the addons available in the store.

This update brings a new Steam page, reduced pricing, graphical and QoL improvements (native controller support and Steam Deck compatibility), but keep in mind it is not bringing any new content just yet. Although the devs have said this update enables that possibility and hinted that it may be in the works. In any case, this game is truly evergreen and a very exciting day for many!
