Guild Wars 2

This new player wanted to jump straight to PvP and practice with me but she tells me she can’t go to (Heart of Mists) because the game tells her she needs to be lvl 22?

I made a new character that’s lvl2 and I can go to (Heart of Mists) for s-PvP but she can’t?

Is this a bug or is ArenaNet telling their players they now can’t do what they want when they want to?

Any information regarding this would help because I’m confused and I want to help this new player out as best I can.

Thank you!

From what I’ve been hearing about the new player experience. For players that are fresh on the boat, features such as sPvP and WvW would be level-gated until they’ve reached the appropriate level to do them. Afterwards, it is supposed to be unlocked across your whole account. I’m not entirely sure, but that is what I’m guessing is the case from what I’ve been reading.

Can anyone else Confirm this? Any Links?
Thanks!

They can go in, they just need to manually walk through the portal.

I’m going to try that out right now and see if it works.
Thanks

^ Heheh, yeah. Honestly forgot about that part.

Alright I just want to confirm Low level newbies can now enjoy PvP and I can now play with my friend and teach her everything about the game.

She is a competitive PvPer and wants to learn things through the PvP aspect of the game with Everything Unlocked.

This is great! Now all ArenaNet has to do is let them have access to it VIA shortcut on the top left corner of screen for the sake of convenience!

Jesus this is insane! The New Player Experience is making things harder on us already lol

Thanks for the help <3

I’ll add further confirmation that yes, new players can sPVP right away. They just need to manually enter.
