Guild Wars 2

I see threads where people state that they have played their hero for 6 hours (say) and are only at some level.

I started a new hero at the end of March, not sure exactly when. Is there any way I can find out when exactly I created it and how many hours I’ve played it?

Type /age in game.

BTW: /deaths show how many times you died

Thanks. Is there a list of all the “/” commands? I know some are for emotes.

I’ve played 21 hours over that last 10 days on my new level 25 mesmer. 1 level was from a leveling scroll and 2 – 3 levels was from crafting using mats gathered mostly by other heroes.

She died 13 times, mostly because I played her like my level 80 mesmer, and from trying the new bugged version of the Weyandt’s Revenge jumping puzzle. Finally gave up on that. Couldn’t live past the initial jump down the toothy waterfall no matter where I jumped from.

has a list of commands

Thanks.

I decided to look at my other 2 non-level 80 characters to try to get an average time spent leveling and number of deaths.

My level 47 necro spent 56 1/2 hours and died 42 times. I probably used a leveling scroll or 2.

My level 43 engineer spent almost 39 hours (used one of those instant level 20 scrolls) and died 77 times.

From my mesmer stats I was going to estimate it takes 1 hour per level but with these stats included that is not so good an estimate. All my other characters have been at level 80 for awhile so can’t use their stats. Maybe the more a profession matches your style and you enjoy playing the faster you level. Necro and engineer (as well as thief) are my least favorite professions. Mesmer is my favorite.

Didn’t know about that command, i thought there was one just for the days. Must try it once i log in

Just seeing this thread made me check what my main, a warr, has done.
1211hrs over 591 days and died 2780 times XD
Many of those involve falling off very high things.

Depending on how many hours you play and how much you focus on a character, you should be able to make roughly a level for just under every hour on average. As a test, I made a guardian a while back and kept an eye on how long it took to reach 80. It took about 70hrs to reach 80.

I found that my first character took a while since I was new to the game, 3-4th were fastest* since I knew the game mechanics, and now they get slower and slower as I get bored of levelling.

*not counting the 3 I craft levelled before the pointless crafting nerf.
