Guild Wars 2 manages to keep interesting stock in the Black Lion Trading, while keeping the game far from Pay 2 Win, and closer to Pay 4 Convenience. With a large selection of cosmetic items for appearance addicts, there is also a great variety of account upgrades, or helpful items. Comprehensive, mobile friendly, Guild Wars 2 Event Timer to quickly find what events are happening in your world.

Choosing a server in Guild Wars 2 is essential and should be given thought. It affects one of the three aspects of the game: World vs World (WvW for short). It’s strongly recommended to get in a server with high population.Note: server ONLY affects WvW. In PvE and PvP it’s only region-restricted, meaning people in Europe can play with everyone from Europe but not with someone from North America.Since server populations change all the time, if you want to check each server’s current population follow link to the official gw2wiki. Character Creation.

The Five races of Tyria. From left to right: Charr, Human, Norn, Asura, SylvariIn Guild Wars 2, you can create up to 5 Characters if you have bought any version of the game, or up to 2 if you are free to play. Additional character slots can be bought later in game.

There are 5 races to choose from:. Charr. Norn. Sylvari. Asura.

HumanCharacter race determines a set number of skills (6 race-specific skills to be exact). You can find those skills. (note: racial skills are not usable in PvP) In addition, choice of race determines your personal story and starting point.Then you may choose your character’s class (or as they call it in GW2, profession).

There are 8 professions with a 9th added with the Heart of Thorns expansion.Describing each profession with precision is quite hard because all professions have various gameplays and builds, so for now we will only have a visual description along with basic information. The game breaks down in three aspects. Player vs Environment (PvE), Player vs Player (PvP) and World vs World (Wvw). Let’s see what each one of them is about: Player vs EnvironmentYour main aspect of the game.

Everybody is friends here, no fights between players. You work together doing events, world bosses, dungeons, raiding, storyline etc, etc. Player vs PlayerThe PvP lobbyYou guessed right. PvP in Guild Wars 2 is awesome for 2 main reasons: 1) You can play straight up from level 1. Gear is scaled in PvP so you can jump straight in, although I wouldn’t recommend it. 2) it’s basically 5vs5 Domination (for FPS gamers).

5 players versus 5 players, 3 points to hold, winner at 500 points. World vs WorldThis is where shit gets real and you play for the honor of your world (server). Each week you compete against 2 other worlds for who will hold most Camps, Keeps, Towers and Castles. Fights could rise between 50vs50 players so, if your system can’t handle it, I would recommend limiting the character models. Getting Started. When you enter the game with your character, you must complete the tutorial (can’t be skipped) which is basically a very short story mission. After that you are free to move around the world as you like.Tyria has a huge map which is broken down in areas (or zones).

Each area has it’s own level range therefore any materials harvested or dropped are of a specific level.The game has also two expansions so far. Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire. Both of these add major gameplay as well as a lot of new zones and I would recommend buying both of them to get the best experience of the game.In order to “complete” a zone you will have to unlock all waypoints, visit every vista and point of interest, complete all skill points and tasks. Succesfully completing a zone will reward you with a chest that grants you experience among other goodies.

WaypointsWaypoints is maybe the most important aspect of map completion as they will allow you to move instantly between zones, allowing you to get to world bosses and events much faster than walking. They need a small price to pay in gold, and they can become expensive if used very frequently.

The further away a waypoint is the more gold you will need to pay. Travelling through waypoints within a city costs nothing. Points of InterestPoints of Interest (PoI for short) are the little squares you see on a map. They are placed in areas where there are important places to visit (much like sightseeing). In order to unlock them you must get as close to the square as possible. If it doesn’t unlock maybe the PoI is in another height or depth so don’t freak out. Tasks (Hearts)Tasks are seen as Hearts in the map.

They are like mini-quests that make you gather stuff or kill certain mobs, basically helping the local NPCs. Completing Tasks is important as they grant XP, Karma and unlock the corresponding Task Merchant who sometimes can sell stuff needed for Legendary items or Collections. Renown Hearts in the expansions are reset daily hence can be completed more than once. VistasVistas are seen as red triangles in the map. When you get close they are lights with a map floating inside them. Visiting a vista and interacting will trigger a cutscence showing you a panoramic view of the surrounding area (as I said, sightseeing).

Hero PointsAnother important aspect of Map Completion is doing hero points. They usually make you fight a Veteran mob or drink something (later on the expansions Hero Points may make you fight Champions) or just commune with a place of power. Upon completion, they grant you 1 hero point (10 in the expansion areas) which you use to train your character and unlock skills (see below). Interface (HUD)This is what the interface looks like in game:As you can see on the lower right corner we have the minimap, which you are gonna look at a lot. Note that you can change the position of the minimap.At the center bottom of the HUD there is the skill bar. Skills are divided in two sections: the weapon skills and skills you take up from Traits and Training. Contra rebirth soundtrack.

Between is the Health Bar and the Endurance bars. Endurance is what is consumed in order to Dodge. On the far right is the icon of the mount currently equipped.

Above the skills on the right are the boons (buffs) and conditions (debuffs).On the upper right corner of the HUD we have the active storyline with a compass pointing you to the right direction.Below the compass are the incomplete achievements that you highlighted in the Achievement Section (see below).Bottom left corner lies the chat.On the bottom of the screen is the Experience Bar.Last but not least, on the upper left corner we have the shortcuts. In order from left to right:. Settings.

Friend List / LFG. Traits / Training. Inventory. Mail. Black Lion Trading Post (Auction House). Guild. World vs World.

Player vs PlayerCombatWhile in combat, you won’t be able to change your skills or use waypoints. You will notice when you are not in combat cause your health will refill rapidly and you will be able to change skills.Each enemy has a Health bar shown on top if you have targeted it. Enemies die when their health reach Zero.Now the most important aspect of combat are boons (buffs) and conditions (debuffs): BoonsBoons are buffs that grant you greater strength and help you in defeating your enemies (or help your enemies defeat you). They can be applied on both you and on enemies, so when enemies have boons they become stronger. I’m playing Guild Wars 2 for years and this is a very useful guide for a beginner but, also for a veteran like me to get a reminder not to spend my Gems on unnecessary items!It’s a very understandable article exactly on the point, having everything a newcomer will need to start the right way and not to feel lost in such a huge & endless game like this one.Thank you Geowulf for your great work and for your time, keep up the great work!I have one question though, what is your opinion about what kind of Guild should a newcomer join so he won’t feel any stress about their schedule?P.S.

Keep it old school guys, Power Builds in PvP gonna give you muscle fingers. You will remember me 😉Cheers’. 🙂Now to answer your question about the guild. Being in a guild with schedule and specific conditions might be a bit overwhelming for a newcomer.

Then again, if you have similar experiences from other MMOs you could give it a try. But speaking from my own experience I’d search for a casual guild – nothing too serious, nothing too lazy.Let’s also not forget that you can join up to 5 guilds simultaneously, so you can have a bit of everything. It’s also important to note, that guilds who require you to follow a schedule, are usually prone to lecturing – definitely a bad experience for a new player.

Generally, some guilds are what we call “elitists”. Again, I would avoid and join a casual guild. Out of all the guilds I’ve joined I had the most fun with the casual ones. That’s the point anyway 🙂 I hope I covered your question, and thanks again for your kind words! Are you still planning on doing a guide on end game gear and such?

I’ve completed the base game, started on the story for HoTand want to know how to go about structuring myself so i don’t get overwhelmed trying to manage building some ascended/legendary gear. Should i just plow through the story of HoT and PoF and just enjoy myself as best i can, then when i’ve got more masteries, then begin to deal with End game gear, or should i be focused on it at the same time D: I’ve just come back to Gw2 after a 6 month hiatus, and my brain needs rebootingAny advice would be greatly appreciated, i need some direction before i lose my enthusiasm to play! I apologize for the late answer.I’m currently away on business hence why I haven’t made an endgame guide yet, but rest assured I intend to.The way I went about it was to first level the discipline of my main character to 500 (eg.

If you play Warrior, level up Armorsmith to 500). This way you will be able to start crafting Ascended gear.

This will enable you to move further into Fractals by equipping your Ascended gear with Agony Resistance. Higher fractals = more frequent ascended drops and loot.

Just by fully gearing my Warrior I managed to fully gear 4 more characters just by playing fractals alone.For expansion content you don’t need Ascended gear, Exotic will do just fine while you go for your full upgrade.So TL;DR play the content of the expansions while simultaneously crafting your Ascended gear step by step.Sidenote: Legendary has the same stats as ascended gear sided with exclusive looks and the ability to change the stats of the gear. Feel free to go for any legendary if you want but you will find it will take off resources and time off your Ascended crafting. Hope it helps!
