Last time I played was about 6 months ago. Late december 2013 or early january 2014.
I played around the time the game first came out. and remember talks of future patches with the housing system before I left on hiatus.

Anyways, I'm back now and want to catch up on whatever new content and major changes that occured while I was gone. As for new content, changes, etc...how do I go about doing them, where, etc...? Are fates still the best and most efficient way to level? What are the new high level, end game content, raids, bosses, etc... how much better is the game at updating your character location to the server (when it comes to stuff like dodging Titan's plumes and stuff). Anything else?
