This topic was around already, but it got lost somewhere in the depths of this forum.

I thought it would be nice to have a sort of “mentoring” going.
New players that are interested can look into this thread and search for experienced players that want to help them with getting into the game.
What exactly that help would be, depends on these two players.

I´d suggest to introduce your preferred playstyles, times, classes and types (solo pve, raids, fractals, dungeons, worldboss, roleplaying, pvp, wvw, etc) so it is easier to “meet up”.

Any new player that sees a fitting mentor can write them in game or via the forum message and ask for help.

Ill start

Im Joker, playing since launch on an EU server.
I play some dungeons and high fractals
i solo roam and zerg in wvw, i play pvp (Platin lvl atm)
I can help with generell gameplay, world completition, personal story, getting into different classes, getting into pvp.
I play Necromancer, Guardian, Ele and Ranger main and can help with builds, gear, roles and rotations
I have basic knowledge in all classes and can help getting into them, but it is not as vast as with the ones i already named…

Message me ingame or wispre me

You’ll also need to say whether you play on NA or EU servers (or both), and if you’re offering WvW help which specific server you’re on.

Yeah, you´re right, totally forgot about EU / NA.
For the servers, im sure to test stuff in wvw EOTM is not that bad… Making it server-dependend reduces possible meet ups, i feel

Hello, all!

I’m Malisivo, I main Ranger, and I’m on NA (Northern Shiverpeaks).

I focus mainly on Open-World PvE content (eventually will try fractals). I have toons for all professions except Revenant and Necromancer. I am leveling up all toons from the bottom up to fully experience each profession and their playstyles. I have a basic understanding of (at least) Ranger, Mesmer, Thief, and Guardian. The other professions have taken the back-burner ever since I’ve started playing Mesmer, haha.

I can help with:

*Basic Gameplay

*Open-World Content

*Personal Story

*Map Completion (100% on my main, working on other toons.)

*Jumping Puzzles (Yes, I’m slogging through these to help others, haha. But also because I’m a completionist.)

*Overall transitioning into game (This doesn’t seem important, but my experience would have been much different if I had a mentor who encouraged me every time I was on.)

I am usually in-game to help transition new and returning players from starting areas to higher-level zones. I frequent the forums a lot, just to keep updated and help those who need it.

Feel free to message me in-game or send a personal message here!
