I have gotten 6 of my friends to try out GW2 this weekend, and 4 of them have repeatedly asked"Why are all my skills locked?"(the other two didn’t feel the game was for them, didn’t give a reason)
I’d suggest, in future trials, maybe make a trial server, where players start at level 30, so they have their skillbars unlocked fully, to give an accurate impression of what ‘the game’ really plays like.
Not sure how that would work, but the main complaint i’ve heard from them is that their utility skills are locked, and its a basic hack n slash game. Which IMO, isn’t true, but could seem that way from a new player trying the game.
Thoughts? Anyone else got friends that are trying the game? What are their impressions? I know my 4 friends aren’t exactly an ideal sample size.
