    Started a couple of weeks ago with a Ranger. Grabbed the $100 Bundle for $50 over the holiday. Few more quest lines on Living World 2 and I'm jumping into HoTs. So excited. 91.5hrs in so far. I've learned so much from your videos, so thank youuu! Lvl 80 Power Untamed with 5 Berserker Ascended pieces so far, we're getting there!

      ​​@@traveling.down.the.road56 I disagree wholeheartedly and personally can't stand to visit those maps, and it's home to the only maps I haven't bothered to complete (and I have every release). But I don't begrudge anyone who likes them, it's really the user unfriendly design I sneer at. However, the contrast it provides for when you first enter Amnoon and Elona in general makes starting PoF feel that much sweeter. So it's worth the journey.

    Another tip for world completion is you can go into settings and change your objective to hide story and events so your HUD will always point to the next renowed heart, poi, vista etc rather than where your story or event point is ❤

    added bit of info regarding the map-completion-hover-over-the-icon-thing-to-make-them-light-up-on-your-map:
    that will only work on parts of the map you have uncovered.
    if you are missing one POI and can't find it, it's most likely hiding in a part of the map you haven't uncovered yet.
    funny that Lara didn't mention that, but I guess she has done map completion maybe 2 or 3 times despite finding it so relaxing.

    It took me a one year to max level my first character and I dont regret it. After this all years I stoped focusing on hardcore end game and Im back to completing maps. I read every line of dialogue when Im doing hearts or even random events. I love to discovering lore of tyria. Moreover this game has a sick amount of voiced dialogue lines. I love eavesdropping on random npcs.

    As someone who didn't, and still kinda don't, play a ton of MMOs I can't begin to say how important it is to level a class properly. It might seem like a grind but I boosted by Ranger and Guardian and I got burnt out SO quick. Playing them legit 1-80 actually cleared up a lot of confusion. Still learning how to play piano properly but it's been fun. Can't wait to start up my Engineer soon.

    The biggest 'wish I had known this earlier' for me is using Obsidian Sanctum when crafting. I always had to run back and forth to the TP but by using Obsidian Sanctum one can drop in there, get to the TP, and on leaving the mists, be dropped right back at your crafting station.

    Pro tip for inventory, if you get unidentified gear, DO NOT OPEN/IDENTIFY IT. The unidentified versions stack, where armor itself will not. Only use for new armor (you really get them at level 80 so you dont need them if you have exotics or better), and crafting/salvaging.

    side note on levelling elite specs before getting into expac areas: its not even mathematically possible. hero points from levelling should total exactly all core skills & specs. theres only 189 hps in core maps, and 11 more in dry top and the silverwastes. which is 50 hp short for any elite spec. so yeah, definitely dont worry about it before getting into the expac areas lmao

    Well, to be honest, until one is level 80, gear and gear stats don't matter. Get your hero points done, get your build, then work on your gear stats. Seen way too many people be only half way through leveling and worried about their build and gear... worry about that stuff AFTER you hit 80.

    The only thing that makes me kinda bored is the fact that I can't find the right class for me 😂. Like, I started with a certain class, I completed maps, waypoints, etc., and then I felt like that class is not for me. And I made another class, did the same thing again, and felt like, "I've already done this, and I'm doing it again...". I enjoyed the world so far, it's just that, as a new player, it made me burn out repeating things. So, I stopped playing for a week and played again, and I enjoyed it. So, for new players out there, find your right class. If you bought an expansion, you'll have a level 80 boost. Try out different classes, use the boost (you will have a trial in the Silverwastes, and you don't actually need to expend it, just undo it after). Doing this, you can try the class to see if you'll enjoy it.
    This is just for new players btw, cuz for sure old players will create new characters.

    Once, a seemingly new player was asking in map chat what a certain item was for, and I responded explaining how we can use /wiki to look up anything in the game.
    Rather than being appreciative of the useful tip, they became irate and haughty, declaring that since this was a social mmo they'd rather rely on other players than read a wiki page, thankyouverymuch.
    Apparently using wikis (and not demanding others do everything for you) is just for anti-social losers like us. 😂

Just go to the Wiki and compare your map with the full uncovered one

    GW2 honestly is very underrated. It's a gorgeous game and well done. The biggest complaint I have about the game is the horrible, horrible game engine. I hope the original people who made this engine are not in the business anymore... It's bad bad bad. However the new rumors of GW3 coming will be done with Unreal Engine and the company is hiring people who are very knowledge with Unreal - which is a huge plus. I hope GW3 becomes the new great game. I love GW2 but the engine and low FPS issues with the game annoy me. But I'm 1% as most gamers are happy with 10FPS in their games. The community of the game can be good and overall is but there are some extreme toxic players within the game that you run into. But in all, just ignore in-game chat and you're good.

Get those masteries, get your mounts, hunt some cheevos, unlock cosmetics, start your legendary collections, enjoy the festivals when they're happening, etc. There is so much to do in GW2. But if you truly are experiencing a void, enjoy whatever game you decide to play instead because there's no helping in that case lol

    Yesterday I met a player that told me about new type of scam aimed at new players in starting zones. First they are invited to guilds, then they are invited to discord. While on discord they are offered gold and equipment as "welcome package" if they don't accept they are kicked from guild and banned on discord and blocked in-game. If they accept then they recive that items through empty mail but few days later after they are leveled up with their character another person from guild speaks up to them and tells that they have to refund that gift as guild is in need of gold otherwise they would be reported as scammers and leeches to support. In a way they are forced to return huge ammounts of gold by blackmail.
    This player didn't wanted to share which guild done that or name of the players only said that this activity appeared since October.
    Can anyone else verify that?

    can't recommend dungeons as beginner content
    they have been more optimized and shortcutted than chinese factories and as a beginner you will most likely not enjoy them, since one single speedrunner can solo them and ruin the experience without a single word
    plus they are simply deprecated: structure, layout, enemy strength and even the respawn mechanics do not represent the current game in the slightest
    unless you have a premade group to do this with, that lets you do this at a more laidback pace and gives you a step-by-step explanation, or you desperately need smth out of them, i'd advise to stay away and do this at a later point when you are accostumed to the gw2 dungeoneer-"etiquette"
