Guild Wars 2

I recently bought the game during the sale, and from what i’ve seen, it looks like I joined on the eve of judgement day. what is going on? I’ve played maybe one PvP game with some warrior build I’ve found online, but i am very interested in PvP. explain to me what i need to know to play PvP in this new patch, and how it’ll affect someone with no experience at all.

sorry dude but you came at the worst time, maybe with enough farming you can get enough to get the traits and gear for pvp to be on equal footing with everyone else.

oh you also missed out on playing enough to fill up your locker with pvp skins. now you’re gonna have to get your gear the hard way.

First of all, don’t be confused when your character equip looks different after logging in.

Currently the equip design you wear in pvp is different from the rest of the game. So after your first log-in your char will have the pve appearance.
If you have never played pve before, you might need to buy a helmet or some new weapons from the merchant nearby.

You missed nothing, enjoy the game and have fun unlocking everything.

i suggest not listening to these guys and playing and deciding for yourself.

everything everyone is saying about the patch is speculative. it won’t be exactly like anything thinks it will.

how about you play for awhile after the patch and then let US know how the changes affect yourself, the new player?

Regarding traits, I haven’t theory crafted the new system yet. Current level 80 characters won’t be affected as greatly by these changes, but any toon under level 30 will lose 20 trait points to allocate and lose access to at least 2 Major Traits until level 80. So essentially it’ll be about 5x harder to level up from level 10-30 and Ascolonian Catacombs and Caudecus’ Manor, etc, will be harder to complete by sub-80 toons because they won’t have access to as many traits stat points.

I have to completely redo my WvW guide and theory crafts for this patch to find optimal sub 80 builds. . .
