Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, how are y’all?

I’m not exacly new to the game, I’ve been playing for about 2~3 months and lurked the forums a lot.

Although I love the game, there is something that bothers me: the lack of some concepts explanation.

For instance, today I came here and saw a lot of “whining about whining” threads, and as I can’t really follow up with the changes, I’ve no idea of what’s going on.

Took me a while to discover what are exotics and where can I get them, and there is a whole bunch of gear stuff I just don’t understand, and can’t find a place where they are explained.

I see terms like fractals, FotM and stuff and am completely lost.

Can anyone give my a run on gears, dungeons, “fractals” and stuff? Or point me a place to search on that?

Thanks a lot!

The wiki like right at the top of the page will take you to most of the answers your looking for. I think you can also type /wiki in game too.

The wiki is a great source of information, for example:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractals_of_the_Mists

If you are ingame and wonder about what something is or how something works, type this

/wiki something

It will automatically open a browser with the wiki page.

edit: munkiman beat me to it

its allright OP
im in the same boat, being a casual players.

but a lot of forum whinners are totally dedicated, hardcore fans who play GW2 as much as you spend time at your full time job.
they “obliterated” the content and are now at what they call EndGame.
they want more, but they all disagree on what kind of “more” they want.

so they each whine and contradict each other in hope that Anet will bind the game toward their wish.
its like a big inner conflict, and a majority will eventually emerge, and Anet will adjust the game to that.

meanwhile, just enjoy the game, check on the wiki, find a guild, and ask questions to other players in the world. some will answer you.
