Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone! I’m new to GW2. I played GW1 a long time ago but didn’t get too far into the game. I was playing WoW recently because of a friend and thought I’d give this game a shot.

I built a Human Guardian. I like it so far but find it a lot more hectic than WoW and have ended up in some situations way over my head early on. Still it seems a bit more exciting than WoW combat.

If you could go back in time to give a n00b some advice what would you say?

^ That post is good!

My general advice is to not rush, if you find yourself in an area where stuff is a higher level than you then it’s a good idea to back off if you start having trouble, but in general you can wander around freely. Be aware that there’s an asura gate in your racial city (Divinity’s Reach for you) which will take you to Lion’s Arch, and from there to any of the cities and their starter areas. Don’t feel obliged to do them all now though – you will be down-levelled, so you can go anywhere below your level at any time and not just one-shot things.

What else? Explore (there are cool hidden/subtle things AND it gets you exp) and do a little of everything. And feel free to ask questions Hope you enjoy the game!
