Guild Wars 2

Ok coming back from a break i took because i really had no clue what i was doing. I want to get into the game but i have no idea what i’m doing. I have looked through google youtube and all i find is “this is what I do”
I am looking for what i’m “suppose” to be doing. Like in WoW you hit level cap, you run reg dungeons, then heroics, then raids/harder dungeons. What is the process for this game, whats the first important things i am suppose to be doing when i hit 80 or 70 even since i think an expansion has been out? And is there a step-by-step tutorial for endgame content. I have done all the stories, and I have started on another but I feel so weak against the mobs that I feel there is so much I have missed out on.

First thing I’d recommend is gearing your toon up with at least lvl 80 exotics. From there you’re free to do whatever you want; open world, boss farming, wvw, fractals, dungeons, pvp (though you don’t need to be 80 for this), or raids. Fractals will require you to get ascended gear for agony resistance if you want to get past t1, rest of the content can be done in exotics or less depending on your skills.

Alright, if exotics are the yellow i already got that done, and according the guild i was in I am in best in slot stats. Now, you say boss farm, where are those? WvW idk what this is. Fractals…what? dungeons, ok something i get but how do i group for them? PvP prolly never anytime soon for I have no clue who class does what. Thanks for the response

exotics are orange in colour, yellow is rare quality.

Think of fractals as a bunch of mini dungeon with a jumping puzzle built in and a boss at the end with mechanics you have to pay attention to especially if you get to higher tiers. This is the only in-game content that requires you to have ascended to progress and is one of the more profitable things to run. Higher tiers are basically a rehash of the lower tiers with more mechanics added onto them and the opponents. Think of t1 as a short easy mode raid in wow and t4 as normal mode, with t2 and 3 serving as stepping stones to ease you in. You can use the lfg feature (looking for group) to find yourself a group for this or any of the others.

WvW or World vs World is a large open world pvp scenario that uses your gear stats instead of a pvp amulet. Naturally this is more chaotic than spvp(structured pvp) but that’s half the fun of it for most people. Two popular ways to play is is zerging and roaming. If you haven’t changed any of your keybindings, the default button to open it is b. There are also asura gates that will take you to them.

World bosses are basically all over the world. Check out https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Event_timers for the times and places. use the lfg(looking for group) to find these. As for pvp you “can” do it with any class, just that some are easier than others.

If you are wanting to continue progressing the personal story past zhaitan, I would suggest going into living story season 2 next (though I’d watch a youtube vid for the season 1 playthrough storyline). After that, get Heart of Thorns, complete its storyline, and go on the living story season 3 (which is about halfway done I think, and they are releasing the episodes as we “speak”). Want to do that soonish, before LS3 isn’t free anymore.

If you don’t care about the storyline, then GW2 doesn’t have just one set endgame.

Dungeons earn you money, loot, and a specific currency that is the only way to get certain items and gear skins that are unique to each dungeon.

Fractals are like dungeons, but they get progressively harder the higher the level of the fractal, and require ascended gear and more of it the higher you go. They are a great way to get ascended gear as well as money and other loot.

Raids are larger group “dungeons” with some serious fight mechanics. You will be expected to use certain builds here, even more so than with fractals and dungeons. This is similar to the raiding you had in WoW.

If Co-op play isn’t your thing, there is PVP and SPVP. (these are not my thing, but you can jump in at any level, as you will be treated as lvl 80 and have full access to pvp gear at lvl 1. This is to keep pvp from being dependent on money as to who wins.)

If you want a mix of the two, there is World v World. People from your server fighting a grand melee against people from other servers. This gametype has its own build considerations different from the rest, and all players on your server benefit from how well your server does in WvW battlegrounds. Both pvp and wvw have their own reward systems as well.

End game is entirely up to you and what you enjoy doing. I’d suggest giving everything a try and see what you enjoy. There is also lvl 80 map events to join in on, world bosses to defeat, achievements to earn, jumping puzzles to solve, collections to complete for other unique loot, etc.

Alright guys i will take what you said and i will have a go and the link really helps. Wish me luck, will be back if i get stuck again.
