Guild Wars 2

1. The tutorial currently offer no Incentive to defeat the trash mobs on the way to the boss, since they way how you unlock Weapon Skills have changed. I suggest adding Level 0, White-quality weapons as drops to them.

2. The final boss fight in the tutorial is quite hampered by only being allowed to Auto-Attack it. I suggest that the Level-up is granted by the NPC before the actual Fight, so that the player gains at least 1 more attack to throw at it. As the fight is lengthier, it will teach them to watch their Cooldown on the 2nd Weapon Skill.

3. Add Dodge Prompts to the Boss’ by having the game Warn the player once they end up in the Red AoE circles, telling them to Doubleclick the Movement Keys, Press the assigned Dodge button or Click the Health Bar in order to dodge out of Harm’s way. This is the tutorial, and Dodge Rolling is such a big and necessery part of GW2’s Combat that it should be given light of even at the very start of the game.

4. The reward for Completing the tutorial, if you were to level up through it, should be the ability to select between a few different Weapons. (Such as Necromancer, who starts with Axe, gets to choose between an Axe, a Dagger or a Scepter.) Everything for diversity, drops aren’t always reliable for finding new weapons for your Professions (Especially not Elementalist and Engineer).

The whole point of NPE was to limit diversity and freedom which scared away former Farmville gamers, and replace it with “streamlined” experience. Giving new skills, weapons, loot and dodges back will make the game “confusing and overwhelming”, so I don’t see it being done.
