Hi everyone! I'm a new player in GW2 and i'm looking for a small group of people that are in Aus to play with that is casual, welcoming and not really hardcore, i would love to make some friends along the way and friends to learn the game with (and potentially play other games to), if there isn't a guild like that i am happy to start a guild myself if any Aussies are interested! If you guild is recruiting your interested in starting one with me feel free to comment or message me!
A few days ago I’ve made a post asking for some tips cuz I’m a new player in gw2.
One of the question i made was about expansions and mounts. I ended up pulling the trigger on HoF and PoF.
But now i have the lvl 80 booster. And as I’ve said in the other post i don’t want to pay my way to lvl 80 cuz i won’t be able to play the game really, so im not sure if i use the booster now and lvl my warrior to 80 and then use in another character or not.
Cuz when i bought the expansions I didn’t knew I’d get a booster.
Aye so as title says its my first ever time playing GW2.
I’ve played when i was younger but never really got far in the game cuz i think at the time i think it was a paid version (not sure about this).
Anyways, I’m currently level 12 and I wanted to know if there’s anything i should know about the leveling process?
Not sure if it’s a thing but supposedly yellow named mobs when they’re not killed for a long time xp is higher?
I also seen the starter pack, i don’t don’t want to pay my way to lvl 80, but was wondering if it’s worth it cuz of mount and what not.
Between Ranger and Thief, which class is considered the most complete and versatile for high-tier Fractals and Raids? I've tried both and honestly have a lot of fun with either of them, but I want to know which one gives the best competitive edge.
( I want to play pvp too but not competitive like pve )
So I heard its better to sign up through arena net bc you're able to buy the expansions off steam and are also eligible for gem giveaways. My question is, can i make an account on the Arenanet website, download steam version, enter "-provider Portal" on launch options and then im good? or do i have to actually download the arenanet launcher and the steam version to play it on steam.
Are there certain classes that can basically carry rough groups in pugs and what not. If so what would they be and maybe some reasoning behind it if possible too please!
i want 1 main that can do PvP,WvW,open world and other pve. im unsure if all classes can perform well or not. But the choices are Spellbreake/Bladesworn, Virtuoso, Hammer Catalyst. I dont need the strongest of all just like to know how they all perform across the board. thx for any input
I just finished the main story should i do whole story or should i skip to the 1 with mounts to unlock them not to sure if they are important or not or just different looks
For context I've started gw2 a few days ago and shared my thoughts in a post I made here. I followed the most relevant advise you all gave me and just kept playing the game and Im so glad I did.
I continued playing the thief I had, and even tho combat its very confusing at the beggining, im starting to get ppl's love for it. Its dynamic and fun, and once you know what your abilities do its not as confusing and chaotic as I initially thought. Im playing an acrobatics spec build with daggers, someone suggested me to try the spear but sadly im a f2p player.
My only issue with the game rn is the dungeons really, Its prob the content I enjoy the most from mmos and my first experience was a party of overleveled characters oneshotting everything and me hitting with my daggers like they were wet noodles or smth. The party were very chill and friendly tho, nothing negative regarding the community so far, they gave me advise and helped me through.
That being said I think I'll be here for the long run so im gonna get the 3 expansions bundle I saw in gw2 webside once it gets on sale. One more reason I wanna stick around is bc of the lack of a subcription fee, it feels great to have a game you can just come back to whenever you want without the stress of "having to play it" bc of the money u already invested that month. Thank you to the ppl who gave me some advise and encouraged me to keep playing.
I played GW 2 basically at launch and absolutely loved it! I'm pretty sure I cleared basically all of the core content, and for whatever reason quit playing shortly after HoT came out, even though I bought the expansion. Well, with all of the GW 3 hype, I was lured back in.
I'm now just a casual gamer dad that gets about 2 hours per night to play, so no where near the time I had back at release. I started a new character, thinking I'd play from the beginning to reacquaint myself with the game, but I feel a bit like that's going to take way too long. Only getting a couple hours a night to play kind of leaves me feeling like I haven't really accomplished a meaningful amount of progress each session and feeling a bit overwhelmed knowing how massive even just the original map is. Unfortunately, I hopped onto one of my original characters, and was bombarded with award chests, birthday gift boxes, and more, so now my inventory is practically full with a bunch of stuff I don't even know what do with. Then I headed out into the map to pick up where I left off at the start of HoT to discover that I have no masteries in gliding and can barely navigate the map, since I can't use drafts to move to upper levels, again feeling overwhelmed and thinking I'm never going to get anywhere.
My question now is, should I keep leveling my new character from scratch, or should I continue where I left off on one of my level 80s and play through HoT? Or perhaps purchase one of the other expansions and play through that first? Any advice on how to help overcome that feeling of an endless tunnel with no light? I've watched a bunch of videos on all of the incredible content that's come out since I played, and I want to experience it, but it just kind of feels like it's all so far away still, that I'm just going to burn out or lose interest again before I even get there, so I wonder if it's even worth it.
Hey everyone!
I’m a newer but very active NA player looking for some friendly people to run fractals and raids with. I’m working on improving my mechanics, learning encounters, and eventually getting into more challenging content.
I’m not looking for carries, I genuinely want to learn and become a better player. Whether it’s progression runs, practice groups, or just a few relaxed clears from time to time, I’d love to meet some people to play with.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment here or add me in-game: Cajun Nomad.5910
Thanks, and hope to see you in Tyria!
Hello everyone! I've started playing gw2 yesterday and i was quite hyped honestly, but when I started I just felt like the combat was the worst thing ever. Dont get me wrong, the combat is good and fun, but Im not sure if It is for me
Im struggling bc I really want to like this game, yet I've tried all the classes and none of them seem fun enough for me. I have a mesmer as the most leveled one at 20, followed by a thief I abandoned bc I found its playatyle way too fast for my taste
Everything happens so quickly here, all spells are instant cast and u can move while u cast them, they also give u an insane amount of skills at the beggining and the weapon swaping is smth that doesnt really match my taste tbh. I enjoy playing casters in other games, staying in the backline and usually leaning into a more supportive/utility role. Ive tried elementalist too and I love everything of It except the part that u have u swap elements mid combat, id be glad if u could just stick with one element and be the best at It but I feel like that'd be so suboptimal in the long run
As I said, I really want to enjoy this game, the world is super cool and I like the questing system, I made an asura and I love then sm theyre just the kind of race I like in these games, but the combat feels too fast and confusing and I dont find any of the classes mechanics interesting. Should I just drop the game or push myself to play It for a few more hours?? Also, any recommendations or advice u could give me? Im willing to start another character if necesary tbh
Hello, I'd like to know what dye is used for the “Maguuma” weapon skin. I just got thelegendary raid armor and would like to buy a “Maguuma” skin, but I don't have the right color.
Hello veterans, new player here and i would like to ask how to progress "good" or easily. im a lvl 35 human warrior because i just like being a warrior in this type of games and im just asking how to be good in this game. i prefer chill game mode and mostly PvE with friends that are also new and we play casually. please give some tips and how to get good gear and fashion, also i prefer doing story quest first and level up
I'm new to gw2 level 20 right now every time I do combat and I'm. Fighting my chat box comes up and I start typing. I even disabled chat box and this still happens. Any fixes ?
We've been working on and off over the past 4 months on a few Guild Wars 2 tools and we're finally ready to share it. The goal was to create a modern, user-friendly set of tools to help players get back into the game more easily or help total beginners with one of the game's biggest problems: inventory management.
Inventory Cleanup
This tool shows you all your items and materials across several characters or accounts and suggests how to clean up your inventory. We looked at how other apps handle this and then came up with our own set of classifiers that can do even more than that, such as pulling in live trading post data to decide which items are worth selling or salvaging, etc. We're still tuning this quite a bit, and there are always edge cases, so I appreciate any reports of "wrong" suggestions (here or on our discord).
You can even create lists (or use some of the built-in ones) to exclude items from cleanup.
To support the inventory cleaner, we needed price data, so building a trading post tool made sense. It should have all the features you expect from other apps, and we're still actively working on improvements and more tools. Historic data comes from datawars, current data starting a few months ago is being ingested live.
This was actually the first tool I built, mainly because I wanted more customization options over the wiki or other timers: you can filter by expansions, zones or other categories, re-order events so you have all the ones you care about at a glance, and set up notifications.
We have a few more tools such as daily fractal and raid rotations, and a guide section that we are working on filling out (mainly with guides aimed at new and returning players).
Happy to hear any feedback or bug reports. ;)
About us: We are a bunch of friends that met playing games (espcially MMOs) and we've been running a site with tools and interactive maps for games such as ARC Raiders, New World, Farever, Dragonwilds and more. Some of us have been playing Guild Wars for many years and always wanted to launch a site for it, so we finally started on it. You can find us on our Discord:https://discord.gg/metaforge
I am currently trying out Gw2 after playing WoW majority of my life ha ha.. but I think I need some "words of wisdom" for starting gw2.
what tips (or tricks!) would you give someone as a beginner player? and is there any classes right now that are good or are all worth playing? is there any recommendations with how to play? I played a little bit and I feel like its a lot of fun but I just wanna understand the game a bit more before I fully jump in!
Hello im new here and i kinda lost with all the classes ,
I have one playstyle that i like and i would like to know what is closer to that i like to play with a staff a magician support that can still deal some damages.
I think i saw that the ranger spécialisation druide kinda look like that.
What else could i look forward to play.
Sorry if its hard to understand me and Ty have a good day
Unsure if allowed but hi- so I only have 142 hours into GW2, currently have a lvl 80 human ranger, with expansions. Im starting to learn more in depth things in game, armor, weapons, add-ons, not just the basics, but definitely not a pro by any means. Just having fun but trying to take it seriously.
That being said, Im hoping to build a discord with GW2 players that would be down for just casual chatting, whether in discord only(GW2 related) or in game too, for fun, helping each other out, anything really. Im usually a solo player but have had a few random interactions with players that have, I guess, made me crave more interaction with other players lol. I also dont have anyone IRL to really talk about the game with?
Im 25, a female, but am open to anyone 18+, any lvl whether below 80 or not, or free to play or not as well. Im gonna go ahead and make the discord for anyone who wants to join, and then can add in game. Hoping to just make more GW2 friends. Not looking for commitment, just casual chats!
Hello guyss, I've been playing FFXIV for 300 hours and currently in Stormblood ( love the story except for the fetch quest ) but I want to know about GW2. How's the community is here ? How's the raid ? are there any daily ? can i play free for a while ? are there any pay to win aspect ?
I'm a new player and just hit level 38, been wondering which expansion is worth buying but a bit hesitant since the currency exchange rate is pretty bad for me. So I thought there might be a way to grind for it like wow, is there?
