Guild Wars 2

Hey all,
I’ve come back to GW2 after a couples of years and a few things seem to have changed and cant find any information on it, was wondering if anyone could help me out.

Firstly i remember being able to go on to the map and seeing how many skill points / Vistas/ Way points/ Points of interests i’ve done and how many are left but now its completely blank. Everything in the bottom left corner is ticked but still nothing shows (to clarify the symbols show up on the map but, how many i’’ve done and how many are left are gone)

Also i’ve done skill points like this below

I did all the jumping up to where the videos switches to events and i didnt get credit for the skill challenge. This has happened with some other skill challenges i made a new character, is there now some level cap on when you can do skill challenges now?

I would really appreciate any help on these issues,
thanks in advance.

If you’re playing a new character, you’ve been hit by the new player experience. You only have to go through some of this stuff once. Once you unlock those things, they’ll appear on your map on subsequent characters, but they don’t appear at low levels.

If you’re already on a higher level character, try clicking the eye on the map and making sure all the boxes are ticked.

I’ve got all those ticked which makes the stuff pop up on the map but not tell me how many are left etc?

does this new player experience stop you doing skill challenges till a certain level? because none seem to work for me

Map Information is unlocked at L15. Skill Challenges, at L13.

Here is a list of unlocks and rewards: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Level_rewards

Welcome return.

Thank you !!!!! its been driving me crazy appreciate it

And all those lockouts are only on the first character you do. The next one you’ll be able to do skill challenges from level 2.

Ugh, I still cannot believe this kittendroppings has been left in the game for so long.
Makes me glad I came back this late and all that sh..tuff is getting thrown out soon.

I think you will be disappointed.^

There has been no mention of ‘throwing out’ the NPE. The Traits will be revamped, again, but they were not part of the NPE. The Personal Story will be revamped, though, but will still be in 10-level chapters, as far as I have heard.

Maybe you have a pipeline to some other information, though….

Good luck.

Uhm actually as far as I understood it, that´s exactly what the trait and skill revamp is supposed to do.

Skills are gone and will be called hero points, you get most of them on level up and can buy the traits &skills you like.
Isn´t that the death of this “new” NPE?

Or I might be totally in the wrong. Even watching all these reveal videos full of stuff but seldom addressing the real problems.

Not even close. The real thing people were complaining about the NPE was level gating. The trait changes came in six months before the NPE and that’s the biggest source of complaints about the game (rightly so in my opinion).

The trait changes have nothing to do with the unlock of things at various levels, which is the heart of the NPE. The NPE also includes other things like leveling rewards and the content finder, neither of which is going away.

The bit of the NPE that is changing is minor. But the trait thing is huge.

Now I´m confused.
The breadcrumbs race to unlock certain traits and all these other “brilliant ideas” will still be there?
That would suck big kittenb…
I was certain we´d simply get the leveling experience back from the dman launch.

Okay traits themselves are changing. They’re going to be called specializations. But the trait changes weren’t actually released with the NPE. They were released long before anyone knew the NPE even existed, certainly by name. Many people see them as separate issues and updates.

So the way you get traits now is completely different than it was before the trait changes. It’s just the the trait changes really aren’t the NPE changes. Lumping them together is confusing because they entered the game six months apart and no one ever referred to the trait changes as the NPE until six months after they dropped.
