My first read on this is to be pretty excited; the new dailies system looks interesting, more accessible skyscale will be good for newer players, etc.

I got so many hours of fun out of this game. Ultimately burnt out on the endgame content. Doing the same things every single day gets old. I wonder if it's gotten better?

Yea, I get what you mean. I feel that GW2's strongest parts are the exploration/discovery bits. The game is beautiful (Anet always had very good art direction) and there are so many little things to discover.

It's also why the expansions put me off, they were so hard to solo, and I was constantly fighting for my life. Never got that vibe I did with the base game.

Yeah, Heart of Thorns is still very difficult solo, but Path of Fire and End of Dragons are quite comfortable, especially once you get an elite spec into your build. It kind of feels like the difficulty progression was reversed, as open world play has actually gotten easier with each expansion.

I did have elite specs, like Dragonhunter but I still had trouble. Unless you mean there've been a lot of changes since LW S3?

[–] VIV_ID 1 points 1 year ago

Well, it depends what kind of content you were doing solo, but there has definitely been some power creep over the years, especially with two more expansions worth of elite specs since LW S3. Events marked "Group Event" are still impossible for me to do alone, but that's by design. Other content can be challenging, but is mostly fine. But of course, this is just my experience.

I'd recommend giving the game another shot with all the new content that has been added, especially the mounts introduced in PoF.
