I am in the same shoes as you. I bought a new account too. And the level of stupidity of this so called ‘new player experience’ is astonishing! You can’t see POIs, Vistas, Nodes, etc. Only hearts and the occasional events show up. I say alright they don’t show up…., but I can’t even interact with Skill Point nodes until I’m on the level ANET thinks I should be. WHAT???
One would actually think that leveling up is so easy. Nope. If I can’t see what I’m supposed to pick up on the map it just isn’t the case. A handful of low level hearts and a couple of events barely made me lvl 4-5. At that point I was already going in on the 7-8 areas which would be punishing for a new player.
Decided I do some city exploration for extra XP. Nope. ANET’s new experience says you shouldn’t do that so easily. Being lvl 5 and only Waypoints on the map. Good thing I already know these maps by heart. But a new player gaining some fast levels early? Good luck with that.
Also the dailies. Why does a new player get only 3 of the dailies. 1 of each category? I guess ANET wants them to try out all the game modes. But then again, why LEVEL LOCK EVERYTHING???!!?!?
Seriously, the first 30 levels as a new player is simply horrible. It’s a slow grind.
I can’t even change Mail delivery animations untill my first character reaches lvl 71. Why? What’s the point locking that behind an arbitrary level?
I have a feeling that they changed this so they can say: ‘Oh but we added so much, Look!’
Yeah ANET changed the old leveling system- which was in no way hard to grasp or understand, but actually fun and fast to level without any restrictions on the player whatsoever- just for the sake of changing something in the game.
I really hope when HoT launches Anet will actually take a good look on this because there is no way anyone would find the new leveling system/experience or whatever you call it actually fun and enjoyable.
This happening me too. My friend helped me out with his credit card too but it didn’t go through either.
I’d like to join as a student to. EU server. I did a few dungeons but I’m still inexperienced, would like to be better.
I just picked up the game recently and yeah the Norn and Char running animation seems odd and terribly slow. But if I may offer a solution, why not increase the running speed for every race, let’s say 15-25%? It would be more than enough and if you think that would inbalance the game, well almost everyone I’ve seen, who has some kind of a passive speed increase uses it anyway. Just take that passive skill/trait or whatever out and put it into the game by default. Problem solved. As of now I just can’t play these races. It’s painful.
