Guild Wars 2

First of all this is not any sort of QQ just my insight and since im still can call myself new to this game i may be missing something vital .

Recently i created a human mesmer to join my ‘squad’ .Thou im having a struggle to reach level 15. By the time i have complete 98% of map, did all events numerous times and still im just after lvl 13.

I’ve already have cleared Norn,Charr and Sylvani starting areas with my other toons and on none of them i had so much trouble into reaching atleast lvl 14 to move on to next region.

Ofcourse obvious soluton would be go to other race starting area to fill the gaps but since i have done them all except Asura, i dont want to do same stuff in game which has so much variety and also dont want to spoil Asura content because i have creating one in plans also.

It just my insight or point of view, maybe someone had same struggle and can suggest me way out?

Cheers,

Craft as you explore.

Tried crafting?

Yep craft… It must jump you 5 lvls for doing next to nothing..

One other thing though.. Is the meta event in Queensdale working.. Not sure if its bugged or no one ever completes all the precursory events to make it work but I have yet to see the Behemoth ever .. Just being involved in that would account for a majopr amount of xp.

keep in mind that it is easy to miss events since you never know when and where they start! you need to look them up a bit, talk to npcs to try to get an idea of what might happen where!

All I can tell you is I didnt do any crafting but by playing just in Queensdale, doing events without repeating any except one or two perhaps and the daily achievement and gathering stuff I come across when I was done exploring I was level 18 nearly level 19

The content is there it might be a bit hard to do it all though unless you look for it!

personal story is mandatory… basically on any map the exp gain is balanced around doing everything. including gathering.

Well, there’s a fair amount of content but you’re right . . . compared to Metrica Province or Wayfarer Foothills, there’s not a lot in Queensdale. Possibly because there’s a number of nested event chains going on around Shaemoor. The pumping station has 4-6 events related to it . . . not all of which “fire” at once. In the east the centaur attacks provide numerous events but they’re again not always likely to be seen.

The “Bad Neighborhood” area you can get into (just underneath the graveyard’s cliff) is a very dense area and prone to many wipes without a big group of people going for it. (At least 3 people are needed to handle the sheer amount of targets which are in there.) Therefore, a lot of people skip it . . . many don’t know it exists.

If I had to rank, I’d say Queensdale is probably the starting area which is easiest to “ease into” the game. The enemy mixture isn’t too rough, the events aren’t difficult to pass, and everything is fairly transparent. Few surprises . . . also, the World Event boss (Shadow Behemoth) is fairly simple despite being one of the more impressive-looking ones.

Thats pretty normal. None of the zones give you enough exp to even get close to the top range with just 100% zone completion and doing DEs as you see them.

You are either expected to hit two different zones for each level range, or find a spammable meta-event and just repeat the same few DEs 30 times. Unfortunately Queensdale doesn’t have one.

My ranger was 27 when I left Queensdale, 55 when I left Kessex Hills and is 61 with only about 1/4 of Gendarren Fields completed.

Its a matter of playstyle, I kill every creature, pickup every interactable and talk to every NPC I pass.

I went down to queensdale to do an explorable achievement with some guildies. Behemoth event was up and we did it with ~15 people. This was on blackgate about 20ish hours ago or so. So at least on BG the event seems to be working fine.
