Following the reveal last week that Guild Wars 2 would not contain a dedicated healing class, this week, the folks at ArenaNet are showcasing the third confirmed class for their increasingly incredible sounding MMO, the Ranger. Like the Warrior and the Elementalist before it, the Ranger is making its return to Tyria after debuting in the original Guild Wars, but the class is bringing some surprises with it.
Whether you're jumping in for the first time and playing for free or adventuring in our recently launched sixth expansion, Visions of Eternity, the best time to play Guild Wars 2 is now! Join the millions of players in Tyria and experience the friendliest MMO community firsthand.
A legendary adventure on the island of Castora awaits.
Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.
I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up
Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
And I like how there are to be no healing-specific classes in the game. Gets rid of the whole tank/ DPS/ healer WOW combo that we see far, far too often. Sounds like players will have to be a little more intelligent and reliant on their own skills instead of just falling into a "role".
Versatility is always a plus. The more I hear of this game, the more I am convinced this will be the MMO of the decade (for me, at least). NCSoft may have buggered up Aion, but this is a totally different development team and ArenaNet is brilliant. The original GW had 5 million users back in 2008 ( http://www.gamespot.com/new... so I wonder what count they're up to now. I think it's the only game to stand up to WOW and hold it's own (while presenting an entirely different model and aesthetic and not just being a clone). GW2 can't come soon enough.
