Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the tips guys. I’ll use your advice and tweak my gameplay

“appropriate for my level” seems to strike me as where you’re going wrong.

Do all the content you can, regardless of level. You still get rewarded for content under your level, and if you play well you can usually do content that’s a few levels above as well.

Appropriate for my level meaning that i’m not trying to tackle on something that’s beyond me. I have no problems doing content bellow my level, but the one beyond it is where i struggle. The mobs are pretty hard to tackle when they are more than 2 level above mine.

I’ll start doing gathering/crafting. It’s not really my thing but i’m sure it’ll be better than just grinding mobs.

As for going to different starting zones i was hoping to stay in human for as long as possible since i’m curious about how the story turns out. But i guess i could skip around to see other stories as well.

I’m really enjoying the game in my current low level. I’ve really tried to diversify my leveling. Every time there is an event near by i partake in it; i’m doing all the hearts appropriate for my level. I’ve explored, discovered vistas and hidden skill boosters.

The problem i’m facing is that i’m constantly lagging behind my personal quest. The more i’m leveling, the longer the gap is.

For example: I’ll do my personal quest at lvl 10 (human starting zone), and the next one is at 12. As i’m currently lvl 10.5, i’ll go around and do some hearts/events/exploration. I come back at lvl 12 and i do the personal quest.

Now the next one is at 14, i’m level 12.5, i’ve done all the lvl 12-13 hearts and explored areas around them. What i’m left with is running around chasing events, since if i go exploring even further, all i’m discovering is high level hearts that i can’t do yet. Or i can grind monsters until the gap is filled, which i’m very much against.

I know what you’ll say: “do some crafting and pvp”. Well i’ve tried PVP and am not a big fan – especially in my guardian. Not saying a definite no, but PVP was never my thing, so i don’t think i’ll be forcing myself into doing excessive amounts of it.

As for crafting, i’ll give that a go, but i’m not sure how much exp i should be expecting from it.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? How did you overcome it? Am i doing something wrong?

Tips and hints are appreciated
