Guild Wars 2

I’ve had the game since launch but never got around to play it a lot. I’m now dedicating most of my time to getting to 80 with my Guardian. I’m only about level 28 right now, and I feel like I’m missing something. I quickly outlevel the hearts in my area even when I jump on all events I can find. Its becoming very frustrating and I feel like I’m just doing something wrong because there is never anyone around to help me do the hearts or some of the events which I have to do alone because my server is dead. Is leveling through World v World a viable option because traditional zone leveling just seems far too slow now that a lot of the people have already hit 80 and are probably nowhere near the lower level zones. Thanks for any and all help!

You need to gather, explore, and even craft as well, and the levels will fly by. WvW is viable as well, it’s very good experience.

As a rule of thumb, if you don’t craft or WvW or dungeon, you’ll have to do two zones of a certain level bracket to get to the appropriate level. Best thing to do is do one map until the heart quests are about three levels above your level, then hit another map of the same level bracket, which you should be able to run to completion and then go back. That’s what I do anyway.

That hasn’t been my experience at all. I’ve never had to go to another same level zone, craft, WvW or run a dungeon yet. Usually I am right at the level required to move to the next zone as long as I’ve done every heart, vista, skill challenge, and the dynamic events that are usually around the heart areas.

Fair enough, I’ve always encountered it I do every completion, I spend a lot of time on the DEs and such but always find myself a few levels shy of the next zone, you can start it, but by time you’re finishing the next zone you’re like 6 levels lower and it’s actually a challenge to continue so I always do two zones just to give me the edge.
