They are, just that you can skip around to various content as need be or if you feel like it.
Most people like to go into Path of Fire for instance just a bit to get the raptor mount, which can help traversal in Heart of Thorns zones much easier.
Mount unlocks are account wide too which allows players to use alts much faster.
IMO i think you need to play Season 4 of living world, one the main characters in the story goes through a massive transformation, Season 4 is the completion of Path of Fire, you need to get it, there will be some confusion in EOD as to why this character is now like this..
Season 2, 3, and Icebrood saga is not needed, but if you were a GW1 player season 3 is heavy on lore..

Specifically only for LS1, it's free forever for all accounts, so it will always be there unlike other login unlocks

Damn this game looks so good sometimes.

It's so good I had to build my Warrior Sylvari to use it. It's very very fun
Such a good look for Bladesworn! o.oIt's so good I had to build my Warrior Sylvari to use it. It's very very fun
It is pretty good. Anet getting a lot better with the story and cinematics. People are finally adjusting to the classes and Mechanist is the best class. Meta events are really fun.

There was some difficulties with the final zone meta, but they've been tweaking things to make it easier and easier over time. Strikes are a great way to get materials for legendary weapons, and the rewards are often asked to be better.
ANet on the whole has been better with communication than they've been in YEARS so it's fresh and fun.
Tried GW2 at launch and fell off it pretty quickly. Already much further in this time and enjoying the leveling experience. Definitely feels less grindy than some other mmos - at least, so far! Great to see so much excitement with the new expansion and hopefully I'll get to that content soon :) Will be keeping tabs on here!
I'm Incensed!
Another component of Vision down, many more to go. I've already gotten Glimpse, so I just need to collect the materials to make the more expensive parts of the recipe work.
On to the Icy Runestones...

Oh man you are in for some good shit

It released right around Elden Ring, so that vortex sucked the air out of everyone's room
Yeah, that makes a ton of sense actually. But I probably should've at least known the date pre-release lmao.
Big whoops. Gonna have to sit my butt down soon and crank through the remaining living world eps. Can't believe everyone's been having fun doing new metas. 😤
Thinking about rolling another character. I only play Necro right now, and I played Ranger in GW1, so looking for something different from those two. How are Guardian, Thief, and Ritualist for PVE? I'd like to start farming gold / mats so I can upgrade gear much faster, so I'm guessing a profession that can be effective in Strikes / Fractals would be good?
Do you mean Revenant ? There is no ritualist in gw2.
In terms of revenant, for open world it has one of the strongest builds in the game (condition damage renegade). For pve in groups it has a number of permanent alaricity builds so is basically guaranteed a spot in many set ups.

The next LWS1 release, "Sky Pirates", is set to drop next week along with a new Strike Challenge and the first themed legendary variants.
Dragon Bash 2022 is two weeks after that.

More details on acquiring the new Legendary Variant Weapons.
So, what's everyone working towards lately? I'm trying to get a few more Mastery Points to finish out the last of my EoD masteries, and the hardest part of creating Vision aka amassing the coin needed to buy the materials I'm short on. Then, I'll probably start grinding towards Ad Infinitum or Warbringer; I haven't decided which yet, but the latter might be easier though costlier in coin (commander tag, ugh...). Beyond that I'm slowly acquiring the ascended weapons for the new specializations; I've only finished one so far (Specter).

I just recently got all the achievements from the Aetherblade CM, so going to work on Xunlai Junkyard and Kaineng CMs in the next couple of weeks.
I'm just now getting around to EOD after the rest of the February games bonanza. So far this is really good! I didn't play much of the last two seasons so maybe I just missed the writing becoming actually good, but so far at least it really is.

I love how fast they're helping with pain points. Sometimes these things look good on paper and work at a small scale, but when you put them into MMO practice they just don't.

Guild Wars 2 players can't stop winning a group event they desperately want to lose
Map chat is begging everyone to let the big, bad wizard live.
I don't think I can ever go back from Mirage. Four blinks and a million evades just feels too good.
Nope. I believe you have to be in the same region (EU vs. NA), but worlds in that region I think are really only relevant for World vs. World.
You don't even need to be in the same region to join a guild. You just won't be able to play with the people from the guild (but you can chat with them in the guild chat).
If I am not wrong, because it has been really long that I joined and changed regions.
Man, Arborstone and Echovald Wilds really are something. Most I've just been literally awestruck by a game in awhile outside of Elden Ring.
Okay, Norn. Time to let that song go for good.

Everyone go visit Hoelbrak for some hologram fighting, moa betting, raptor racing, and pinata smashing.
And a tip: if you want to participate in the stampede then you're going to need two things: 1) a fast mount and 2) a tagging build.
EDIT: WHAT'S THIS? AN ACTUAL UPDATE TO DUNGEONS?!?

The dungeon changes are utterly pointless and don't address the problems with dungeons at all.
Namely that they are some of the least fun, worst designed content I've ever experienced in an MmO and one of the reasons it took me so many years to get into the game. They are *terrible* in terms of content design. Shockingly bad. They have a whole host of problems (length variation, hiding of objectives, difficulty spikes, horrible encounter design, endless rezz circle chains due to shitty encounter design etc etc). When they moved away from dungeons it made total sense because they actively turned a lot of people I know off the game.
Fixing the reward structure doesn't change how bloody terrible they are, and how poorly they reflect the rest of the game.

One would hope this is the first step to giving another pass to them, tbh
I forgot how aggravating Pinata Bashing can be: 1 skill missing the pinata because you're not one step closer; 2 skill's inconsistent leap height not targeting the ground, landing you past your target, ending the attack phase too early or simply not giving you enough lift to get over a table; and 3 skill's impressive tendency to leave you stuck in a wall or falling through the map right when you've got a good run going.
Now the story can be told (with far less inter-species smut!): ANet details the origins of Snargle Goldclaw.

Just got back to the game after quitting shortly after it released and I just reached HoT content last night. Holy shit man.
It's like FF XIV if they put all their budget in zone design and exploration instead of story. The gliding, the new abilities to help you navigate, the verticality of it all, it's pretty damn incredible! That thick lush forest reminds me a bit of the ancient forest in MHW and I love it. I'm in Auric bassin now and I have a hard time imagining the later expansions topping this O_O
