Possibly returning to GW - Guild Wars Forums

Demichelis · Jul 26, 2011, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Hello, I started playing GW around March or so, and then I took a break from GW to get back into World of Warcraft. Now I'm looking to possibly coming back, I was wondering if anything new has happened since April or so, since I haven't really played the game since then. Any class changes or so?

I suppose that something like this applies here:

1. Don't be lazy.

Before making a thread, do as much as you can to help yourself. It is unfair to expect other people to spend their time helping you when you haven't spent any time yourself. If you make a thread and it is obvious you haven't done so, it is highly likely your thread will be closed. Threads that state 'Can someone tell me some good builds', or something to that effect, will always be closed, as this information can easily be found elsewhere. It is expected that you look through the online resources and search (both manually and using the search function) through the forum before making threads.

Some resources you may find useful include the Official Wiki, the Unofficial Wiki, PvXWiki (for builds), the 'How to Make Money' thread, YouTube (for tutorial videos), the stickies in each subforum, and possibly the FAQ in the Questions and Answers forum if your question is more generic.

In addition, if you haven't been successful in finding what you need, give us as much information as you can. Information such as which campaigns you own, whether you regularly play with a friend/family member, specifically where you're having issues, or whether you play in any way that would somehow influence your question. This helps people address your problem as specifically as they can.

But, this would probably help you:

In short, yes, a lot has changed, particularly if you just started playing in March; I'm guessing you didn't get very far into the game before you quit.

The link was already provided, but I have to add the reason why nobody will just summarize the changes: there's been about one patch a week on average since April, ranging from small bugfixes to balance updates to Winds of Change content patch. You really do need to read the wiki to find out what's new.

Also, April 1 update notes should not be taken seriously. Except that they really did put in the Commando mission.

Yeah, that. Also, this page on the official website. In the future, please put some effort in to find answers yourself rather than expecting people to just give them to you.
