Hey guys - I haven't been in GW2 for a little while, and I'm coming back to it. I have a level 80, and I got some of the nice armor (for me) in the temples in the Cursed Shore (I think).  I never completed the very last story quest, since it was hard to get people to do it.

 

Coming back, I'm sure I'll be behind on gear. What's the best way to proceed? Should I finish the story? Is there other stuff I should do to gear up? Any advice greatly appreciated :)

For my purposes as a casual player, the temple armor is as good as I need. Better armor would be ascended armor - which you can either level up in crafting to make your own, get as a drop, or buy some from vendors.  Same thing applies for weapons - ascended weapons are better, which you can craft for yourself, get as a drop, or buy from special vendors(laurels, guild commendations, wvw tournament tickets). You can't get ascended pieces from other players since it becomes account-bound on acquisition. Specific builds of armor would be for dungeon running or wvw builds, which you could look into based on how you enjoy playing. 

 

As a recommendation for what do coming back, there are new maps that have opened up because of the special events that you can explore over in the magumma jungle, though I don't think you'll be able to play the stories if you weren't logging in when they were active. You can play the stories going forward, though.

 

Also, Oldgoat has a Sunday story mode dungeon event and is scheduled to do the arah dungeon (last part of the story) in Feb if you want to complete that.

Welcome back, Steerpike.

I couldn't add a single word to the very comprehensive update Rylssa gave you.

See you in the field.

 

P.S. I'm coming back after a long time away too, and I have a lot to (re-learn). Catch me into the game as Seabhran, Lothean, Morrighu, Symbelmimme or Ipomoea Nocturna if you need something.

Actually you can play the season 2 stories you missed, but you'll need to unlock them using gems... 200 gems per chapter.   I did that when I came back in November and I don't regret it.  Besides the story there are some nice achievements (lots of AP!), and they are required to complete the luminescent armor set collection if that's something you are in to.

The new zones are really fun and profitable.  I especially like the Silverwastes.  Fun mechanics, fun fights, lots of people, and lots of loot. :)   I've been running it a lot for crafting mats to get my crafts up to the cap.  Very good for gold too if you sell the mats.
