What Has Changed Since I Stopped Playing? - Guild Wars Forums

Testoviron · Apr 28, 2009, 06:25 PM // 18:25

I stopped playing Guild Wars around September 2008, but now I feel like getting back into it & I'd just like to know what major things have changed.

- Is triple Necro hero build still around?

- Are Underworld/FoW runs still being done by Ele/Sins & Sin/Eles?

- Are there any new places now? E.g. any new dungeons or high level areas?

- I was an Elementalist so what major changes have been made to them?

- Is Ursan still used/still around?

- And finally if there's anything else I should be made aware of that's changed, I'd appreciated knowing.

Thank you

1. Yes, triple necro is still there. But also smiteway for monk heroes.

Yeah, my build. Devastated by PvX trolls.

2. Nah, only Assassins.

3. Nope.

4. Hmm... Nah.

5. Nope, died with the nerf. Some people might use it for single missions if they have no better elite.

6. Just check guildwiki updates.

MOX a golem Dervish hero can be obtained if you have the trilogy.
Ursan in non-existant now.
Triple necro is still very popular.
Buffed Ray of Judgement is all the rage.
There are no new areas but quite a few enhanced rewards, as all 3 campaigns have EOTN style books for missions. There are also Zaishen Challenge quests that involve PVP, killing a bounty boss, or doing story missions, they change daily.
There a pet island that you can take your tamed pets to. Its basicaly like a zoo as all pets you take there roam the island.
You can makeover your character (hair, sex, skin color etc) and get a name change in the in-game store. Also extra storage slots if ur a packrat.
There are a few smaller things i'm sure I missed, so just check out the previous patch notes.
Also don't forget to check the guild wars website and get your free storage pane.

If I were you, I'd visit Wiki and go through the monthly updates all the way back to October. A lot has changed, and we can't cover it all here.
