Guild Wars 2

As we’ve all learned from MagicalMike:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-On3Ya0_4Y , Interpretive Dance is the key to completing the “tutorial” boss mob. (Poor Mike didn’t believe in the power of dance later, so he was brutally nuzzled to death by a dolyak. I doubt his commitment to sparklemotion.)

While I’m thrilled to bring Martha Graham to the New Player Experience, what I haven’t seen is any tutorial that explains fields, and how to combo, blast finish, etc.

Now, I realize, it’s going to be difficult to teach it to a group of people who can only press 1, then press 1 again, but seriously, it’s a core game mechanic.

In this level-gated, game-on-rails, New Player Experience, is there anything anywhere that was designed to explain how fields work to players who don’t understand it? Or is that a game mechanic that’s just too advanced for people to understand? (Like feeding cows, or getting skill points, or ya know unlocking the weapon skills. )

Only the hints/tips that have been around since launch.

I wouldn’t give them ideas, though. They could come up with the idea that combos are way too complicated and either remove them completely or make them unlockable.

There still aren’t any real tutorials on anything, everything is just time gated to where if new players don’t understand them they now don’t understand them at a slightly higher level!

This change is all for the better, the combat (IMO) was getting very stale, I hope the next feature pack removes dying all together, such an archaic form of punishment in MMOs. Maybe add a new game play mechanic called “dance battles” so we can really show our dance prowess.

You mean you were also OK with the ever enlightening “Dodge into and stand in the red circle to get your loot” lesson?

Oh sure, no worries. I danced. It’ll be fine as long as you dance. SparkleMotion! What could possibly go wrong, with the Power of Dance?
