Guild Wars 2

I’d like to thank randomguy for all of his help. He found me in game and answered a lot of my questions as well as giving me some tips. It’s very much appreciated.

I just checked my original character that I haven’t played in 2 years and it’s a level 19 Sylvari Ranger with a bank and inventory full of items. I have no clue what the items are worth or if I should sell or keep them.

Also I remember now why I had stopped playing. I think I had gone to Lions Arch during some sort of Winter event and couldn’t figure out how to get back to the starting area. I still can’t lol.

Now I am considering just starting back up with my ranger since he is already level 19 and has all kinds of items and gift boxes in his inventory.

I know I can open the map and travel to various waypoints that I have unlocked within the same location but I also would like to know if there is a simple way to portal out of an entire map (Lions arch for example) back to the starting area? I remember always getting lost running through the large Gates.

Thanks for the help guys. The Ascended gear sounds like something I would like to work towards. I don’t mind the time involvement as I don’t ever buy xp boosters or anything other than cosmetic items in games that offer those kinds of things.

Thanks for the replies.

Generally I enjoy PvE mostly. In the games that I mentioned previously (Path of Exile and Marvel Heroes) I really like the loot grind, farming for rare/unique items and leveling my character. I like PvP if it is done well and balanced. I have done some group content with friends and guild members in both and enjoy the comradery it brings.

Hello,

I had originally been gifted this game about 2 years ago by a friend of mine. I played for maybe 10 or so hours, joined a guild and did some WVW battles, some jumping puzzles, got bored and quit.

At that time I had never played any MMO’s for any significant amount of time. I’m in my mid 30’s and had always held the belief that MMO’s were a fad that would die out relatively quickly once people realized that they were too time consuming and they didn’t deliver the satisfaction of completion that a traditional game/RPG offered.

After my original exposure with Guild Wars 2 I have since played and really enjoyed several ARPG’s that have online elements namely Path of Exile (around 1200 hours played) and Marvel Heroes (700 hours played).

I would like to give this game a shot again now that I have tried and enjoyed a few games that although aren’t technically MMO’s, still have some similar online play elements.

I started up a new Warrior and have no idea where to start or what to do really. I may look at some wiki’s to get a better idea of what the overall point is and what to do after the tutorial stage.

If anyone has any advice for a new player, I would appreciate any and all help/info.

Thanks in advance.

I just started this game again after playing only a few hours when I was originally gifted this game about 2 years ago. While making my character, I found that most of my usual semi-unique names were already taken. After being unable to find a unique name I tried some silly ones. I found that even names like “Melissa Etheridge”, “Kesha” for example were already taken.

I ended up settling on TheSausageBearer for my warrior.
