I haven't seen anything new and exciting on sale. Some stuff I already have is on sale, though. BG3 is great. Pillars of Eternity is also great.
I've been playing Guild Wars 2 a lot. It's on sale. New expansion came out recently. It's the only MMO that doesn't piss me off. Feels like an actual video game.
Anyone who's waiting on BG3 to be cheaper or GOTY edition or whatever, try Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's amazing, and the definitive edition is only $13.50 USD right now. No need to have played the first one - I never did and D:OS2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time now.
How is the server population in GW2? I used to play that a lot and really enjoyed the WvW action too.
Seems very good. It's wvw reset night right now. There's a 16 person queue to get into the eternal battlegrounds map, and <10 on the other ones. Non reset nights the wvw maps are usually active with the occasional queue. I do a fair amount of wvw. The other night we had a wild ~40 v~40 v~40 fight in the garrison. Great stuff.
For PvE stuff, there's almost always people doing the meta events. I never had trouble getting a group for fractals or strikes. Raids I see sometimes in the LFG tool, but I only do them with a training guild I joined.
Also, with PvE they added megaservers a while ago so it doesn't matter what "server" you're on. For WvW, they're supposedly implementing guild-based matches instead, but that's been in the works for a while.
That's great to hear that everything is still going with a healthy population. WvW is definitely a ton of fun.
I remember one skirmish we had where we came upon an enemy "blob" by a small lumber mill (I think?) and they all jumped up and stacked on a tree stump. For what purpose, I'm not sure, but I like to think they thought they had the higher ground. We wiped them, of course.
