Guild Wars 2

Despite their focus, I believe there are several confusing things for new players. So I created this for people to list the ones they know of. I will start.

1. Fields and combos. Even experienced players often don’t understand how this works and the game does a poor job of explaining it.

2.. Move speed bonuses don’t stack, but this isn’t listed anywhere. A new player who thinks “I wanna go fast!” is going to be confused when this doesn’t work. This is an especially big trap for elementalists, who can get several persistent movespeed bonuses from their traits and glyphs.

The amount of particle effects on the screen during larger battle make them too chaotic, too be fair that still confuses me a lot even now

How conditions and the condi cap work.

How the mystic toilet works.

Maybe there should also be a tutorial on the only tactic in the game: learning to all stand in one place right on top of each other. Maybe they could put big blue markers on the floor in dungeons and out in the world with a big arrow that says ALL STACK HERE. Like permanent stationary doritos for when all the commanders are busy being swag.

Like permanent stationary doritos for when all the commanders are busy being swag.

Even if a noob figured out how to combine items in the mystic forge, unless they got extremely lucky they would give up after getting junk a few times in a row.
