Guild Wars 2

I am VERY new to GW2 and in the past only played CoH/CoV for about 4 years. then i had a kid and didnt play for 3 years.

Now I am slowly starting up again and I am thinking about getting the Guide to have some reading to do to a littel homework before getting to far into the game.

My husband gave it to me for Christmas. I looked through it a bit, as I have a coworker whose group of friends wrote it, but there didn’t seem to be anything there I hadn’t already learned by playing the game through beta and since launch. It is pretty, though.

I suggest simply playing the game and asking in mapchat or in these forums (or finding a helpful guild) to aid you in the fine details.

I haven’t look at it myself but I’ve heard that it was written during the beta testing phase and as a result a lot of things are wrong or missing.

I think you’re better off using the wiki and this forum personally. The wiki covers most things and if you’re not sure you can always ask.

No, its not. Its nearly a year out of date; many changes have occurred since then – some drastically.

The only thing that may be worth it is the map flipbook, which the hardcover version supplied. But even that is out of date (Southsun Cove is missing, new waypoints, etc).

As Danikat has suggested, browse the wiki.

I have the BradyGames GW2 guide and really it was not worth the cost. The only part of it I really used was the maps, but then I found better maps online so now the book is up on a shelf somewhere.

Thanks for the answers

I´ll save my money and look at the wiki page.
