What do you enjoy in GW2? (lemmy.zip)

For me, I love variety, so I play basically all content.

After my Dailies, I most often enjoy just roaming OW or WvW. Sometimes I get more invested into Fractals, PvP, or working on a specific Legendary. Occasionally I'll jump into a Dungeon or Raid. I haven't tried Strikes yet but they're on my list.

My favourite is adventuring through OW with a buddy or two, especially when I don't have a full gear set or Masteries unlocked. I prefer not using the TP because I enjoy opening bags of gear and seeing what I get. Unfortunately, there's no way to create "seasonal" characters, nor is there an ironman mode or anything, but I'd love to see one in the future as these modes offer a really nice alternative way to play. For now, I just RP them when playing with friends.

What do you guys most enjoy? I'm curious how many players actually spend most of their time in difficult instanced group content, cause the subreddit would have you believe that most players do this, yet I recall seeing ANet mention only ~10% of players do this.

Everything! But the gameplay in combination with the story is the real deal for me. I was a longtime player of ffxiv, loved it so far, but the lack of gameplay was driving me away from the game.

It's just not fun to have hours of cutscene and dialoges without real gameplay and I think that guild wars is nailing this.

It's also amazing to see such a living world, it doesn't matter where you are, there always people around you that are actually doing stuff in the open world und playing the evens, it's just amazing 🤩

Fully agree on the gameplay part. It's much more engaging to actively play through story parts, than waiting for a cut scene or dialog to finish. Gw does this very good (in most cases).
