Would love to see you do a "Lvl 80, what now" video, based on your experience and learnings on which aspects of the game to prioritize. GW2's open ended gameplay is its biggest strength and also its biggest weakness.

There's one thing you forgot to mention about the Personal Story: If you group with another player before entering the instance, they will enter the instance with you! At the end, they will be asked whether or not they'd like to receive the reward for the mission, and if they click "yes" they will get a class-appropriate item and XP - the same as they would have done if they had completed it themselves! So if you have a person who you game with regularly, only one of you needs to buy the Living Story seasons.

watched this while i was downloading gw2 and it made my first impressions more enjoyable thanks mate

[ZianaSue]

That was a very well done beginner guide. It was something I saved to my watch later in case I need to send some beginner resource to someone.
I've been playing the game for years and I still get overwhelmed by all that is still available for me to collect in the achievement panel.

[StormySnowChannel]

Hey man. Tonight I'll start playing :) My regret is that as an MMORPG lover I should have started ago. See you in game!

[ShaneLogan]

I have watched hundreds of "Intro to *insert game name here*" videos and this is leaps and bounds the best one I've watched. Very detailed and very informative and made the game look fun while doing so.

Thx for this video, although I've played this game for years, on and off, since its evolution from GW1, I have often missed so much or just forgotten it. This was a nice reminder, at least for me, and with the inclusion of your other videos to fill in the missing knowledge its a real boon here. I'm still currently lost with all the variety of things to do and collect or actually for those "I need to do and need to collect" to continue to grow. I would like to progress, in a somewhat reasonable manner, but honestly I feel overwhelmed lol. The sandbox, anything goes, is great concept but unless one has grown along with the game over the years you can easily feel overwhelmed with all the new currencies, the multiple manners of acquiring gear, etc. And the older, dedicated player base, I believe, misses this simple point, sort of a not seeing the forest for the trees effect in the long run as they busily go about their daily routines and acquire their new legos and debate their takes on their current game mode's "meta" to continue their own personal journeys . . .

Yeah, I'm now lvl 80 on several characters (7) only two here boosted with one more boost on the way, but alas poor as a church mouse. Whoopee, I'm starting the end game dead broke but then again, now I can continue grinding out a few more piles of silver and a gold coin or two, but now its in level 80 zones, so that's growth, right lmao. So, I guess what I'm really saying here is, pls, keep up the good work and community service even if its just to shine a tiny bit of light into this vast realm of ever expanding darkness, its much needed if this game is to have a future . . .

Awesome video, hope it will guide some new players to the game :) I’d love to see a video about the early struggles of new players: Item types you loot during gameplay and what to do with them, many new players are struggle to navigate in the flood of junk we loot. What to etc.

Hey Caffeinated Dad!

Just leveled a new Warrior using *mostly* the Character Adventure Guide that is on the list of Activities right under the Daily Tab on the Hero Panel!

It took me 3 days. I was blown away by how quick it was.

[danielz.]

Nothing i wouldn't already new, but still watched with interest. Great vid! Thanks

[gandrew]

I just started playing a few days ago and am really enjoying the game, the structure and gameplay loop of the world exploration really suits my play style. In ff14 I hated that the world itself felt so empty and didnt care about the story at all, in WoW its alright but all i ever wanted to do was collect herbs and ore and ignore the gear treadmill

[Secondhxme]

Been watching your videos - Even as someone who's played all the way through Gw1 and Gw2 series, it's still a nice intake of information and your point of view's. Good video!

[gregortega]

Great job on the video. I've been playing GW2 since the beta and I always hear people "It doesn't matter what race you choose" or profession. This is nonsense, if you're a new player and you hate the snow and you select Norn you're not going to like the game environment very much and may quit the game. The same with barren landscapes and the Char so it really does matter. Also, the Char jump with all fours and can really be tricky especially on jumping puzzles, Norn can be so tall that in caves you have camera issues, Asura can be tough jumping as well because they are tiny. Professions also matter some of them are very difficult to master and are only effective at higher levels so an Ele or Assassin might seem great to start with but dying over and over sucks, Guardian seems cool but you get so frustrated you give up the game. Don't be afraid to try different various professions in PVP also don't be afraid to kill off lower level characters until you find the right combination of race and prof. I hope this was helpful.

Just shared this with my new player guild. Thanks for making this!

[Bexar]

I´ve just started playing it on Steam. I played the fudge out of early access, but for some reason completely forgot about ot, and therefore haven´t played it since. This series was really useful for me, for the reason mentioned above.

[vkhaotikv]

man i have just went down a guilds wars 2 hole with your videos!!!! I have been debating to start this game and so far your videos have been the best to watch and im gonna start it tonight

[allmyinterests]

Just downloaded the game and didnt understand what to do. Watched like 2hrs of beginner guides and they were all fine explaining the ui and all but noone tackled what to actually do. Apart from you going even deeper into the ui you also explained the quest/achievement tracker and dynamic events in the top right corner which makes this by far the most helpful tutorial. So I guess up until lvl 80 and me being somewhat familiar with the game I'd tackle quests/achievements and dynamic events? Cheers!

[lalo]

Just started GW2 and bought the first two expansions on sale. thanks for the video

[KetoDoe]

You did a great service to a noob and I thank you, sir!

[BowedWings]

Coming from playing GW1 for about 16 or 17 years, this seems like a ton of stuff to remember, and understand.
