The achieves won't matter so much without the expansion other than to progress you in miniscule fashion towards Radiant/Hellfire skins, but if you unlock the Mastery system then at that point you'll be happy to already have a lot of core Tyria achieves under your RainyDay.2084 said:Once you hit 80, you've got to set your own goals. If you don't want to take that plunge, you can do Dry Top and Silverwastes with the base game, level alts to learn new professions, collect hungry cats for your home instance (at least the ones in the core maps), run with boss train zergs to get loot, work on base game achievements such as Dive Master, and so on. What the expansions and LS offer are new maps, new collections, new achievements, new skins, new stats, good sources of mats, new legendaries, new variations on professions (the elite trait lines), all the stuff that one spends time on in this game unless one sticks with pvp/wvw. Note that if you have had your account since release you may well have logged in during episodes of LS, in which case you have already unlocked them for free. I think that if you can afford it you will find it well worth the money to get one or both expansions along with living story. Plus of course a true 80 has all the traits and gear available. You don't have to be 80 to do fractals, you get scaled up to 80, but ascended gear that can hold AR is level 80 so you can't do the tougher ones before 80. This is an unavoidable damage tick at certain spots in a fractal that will kill you if you have not equipped Agony Resist, which you build up by playing lower level fractals to get the infusions to put in your Ascended gear (or you can buy the infusions for a lot of gold on the TP). You get instabilities that make odd things happen (like no one can dodge, or enemies explode with aoe damage when they die), and the main difficulty enhancer, Agony. There is a large set of them, and individual fractals repeat at higher tiers of difficulty, with added mechanics making them harder. WoW Mythics came along well after I quit that game so I'm not sure, but I vaguely recall people saying WoW stole the concept from fractals, so maybe?īasically a fractal is a short dungeon, each with its own mechanics and puzzles. I just bought those for completion more than anything.īut without the expansions you really are very limited in what you can do at level 80. Season 2 is more story from back then but doesn't really add new zones since dry top and Silverwastes can be accessed without those episodes as well. For endgame crafting is pretty important as it's how you can get ascended armour and weapons.Īll in all the expansions and season 3 I would definitely recommend. The LS chapters are worth it also to me, particularly season 3 which has a lot of daily zones where you can quite easily gather special items to buy ascended trinkets and well there is crafting of course. Without all of that, fractals and grinding yourself silly for legendary weapons is about all there is really. For 40 bucks though it's a lot of content so it is worth it in my view. Not many people do the original dungeons anymore and without the expansions you really are very limited since the expansions bring the masteries including gliding and mounts and elite specializations.
