Guild Wars 2

Hello! Im fairly new to the game, in the last 6 weeks ive seen a lot of new content come and go. Ive been working hard to get my first character to level 80. My question is, am I going to miss out on all of these events if im not level 80? Im 65ish, but ive just been grinding hearts and events rushing to max level so I can participate in this cool stuff. Also, is there an in game tutorial I missed explaining everything? Im having to figure a lot of stuff out on my own.

You do not need to be 80 to do these contents. The game will uplevel you to 80(like what happens with WvW) for the places where level matters. As long as you have gear appropriate for your level it should be more or less fine. You’ll probably be at a bit of a disadvantage with fewer traits but that shouldn’t be a huge issue at lv65.

The tutorial doesn’t exist yet so no you didn’t miss anything. There is an online manual at https://www.guildwars2.com/en/manual/ . Looks out of date and doesn’t cover any of this.

No you didn’t miss a tutorial, they kind of just toss you in and just give you a few hints a long the way. There’s a lot of stuff they don’t tell you at all.

And to answer your first question you can do the living story before you’re 80. You get side kicked up to 80 which means you get the basic health and defense stats of a level 80 but your traits and skills stay the same. At 65 you should be able to easily participate in the living story while being side kicked. Enjoy!

Thankyou for the answers! Maybe I can slow down and enjoy the game more .Love this game, love this community! And they should give a few how tips at startup.. some stuff is confusing lol. Thanks for link
