Guild Wars 2

Terrahero.9358:

Leveling isnt that much different, but there are items that give a level or even boost a new character to lv20. So that helps.
What doesnt help is that getting traitpoints is slowed down dramatically, so thats a lot more boring. Even if all you get is some stats it feels like progression.

Also new trait tiers unlock much later, master at 60 and grand-master at 80. And you no longer get access to all traits baseline, but each individual trait has to be bought at a vendor now.

If anything id say the level experience for new players is much, much worst. More boring and with less roam to try out things.

At lv80, all PvE has changed little in terms of professions. Its Warriors and Guardians everywhere.
The actual playstyle in dungeons is much different, basicly its huddle in a cornor and Flaming Greatsword the wall for stupid amounts of damage. If a boss doesnt die within 20sec you might already have people ragequite cause its to slow…. So, have fun with that.

Kinda sounds like the game is broken…

Thanks everyone for your replies, most if not all have been helpful! I have decided to continue leveling, if i see any major red flags along the way i can always reroll! Thanks again!

I just started playing with my friend and created a ranger. It’s level 10 now, but lurking around the forums I seem to view a lot of displeasure about the Ranger class, particularly about it being poor in the end game.

Should I continue to play it or do I realize and re-roll? Advice from other rangers please?
