Guild Wars 2

Hi all.

I’m currently downloading the client now.

Just read that there are some leveling enhancements in the game now.
How do I find/use them?

I got a lvl 40+ thief. Do i have to create a new char to get these ‘enhancements’?

Thanks in advance.

I would not recommend starting all over, the first 20 levels are experienced as “a pain” to players who know the old system. I would continue on your thief and once level 80 looking into another class.

You can find them just by playing the game, there’s no need for a new toon for those.

I would advise you to do the exact opposite. If you only have a lvl 40+ thief, after which you quit, you may enjoy the New Player Experience to its fullest. Make a brand new one and enjoy the game as it is! You’ll get your levelling rewards just the same, but you will also have access to the NPE trait system.

I strongly advise against erasing your character.
You don’t want to give up a character with all its traits unlocked, trust me.

Every new character you create will start with no traits, and for each of them you will need to either pay gold to buy trait unlocking guides, or do the same tasks over and over (for each character). More information here.

It is worth mentioning that this system will change in one of the future updates. As of yet we don’t know how or when.

As far as the New Player Experience (NPE), since your character is lvl40 you are still going to experience it while leveling from 40 to 80. So no point in erasing your toon and rolling a new one.

Hey all. Thanks for the feedback.

I read the NPE, didn’t know about that before. I’ll be sticking to my old char. Not a fan of leveling a new char of the same class.

Once again, thanks.

You can still get level rewards for the 40 levels you have remaining. The previous level rewards are geared toward lower level characters so there’s no use restarting to get them as they’ll be worthless anyway by the time you get to level 40 again.

Just keep going and enjoy the free armor every once in a while.

In game, type “/wiki Level Rewards” for a complete list of those NPE rewards.

I agree with those above. It is a pain now.
