So I guess I’m way more of a newb than anyone else here… I’m only level 7 on my ranger, but I don’t see how to get another pet. I started with a Moa as a asura, and it’s adorable, but I want to see what other pets do. Do I just have to level more, and then it will be explained to me?
I have to say, I’m brand new too, so I don’t have any answers for you. But maybe someone else will see this and help us both out.
This game actually does a pretty lousy job of explaining the game’s fundamental mechanics like dynamic events or boons/conditions.
GW2 has actually lost a lot of players because they were looting around for a quest-giver and the game did nothing to explain how Hearts/DEs were to replace quests.Actually in my opinion GW2 is the most noob friendly game, because compared to some other MMOs it’s pretty easy to figure out.
Both me and my boyfriend came from the WoW crowd, without watching any videos and figured it out for ourselves.Because it’s not okay for people to claim that everything is “optional” but then to also say that the game has a significant depth of content. If all of that content is “optional” and thus doesn’t need to be fixed (which, btw, is bad logic: a broken feature should be fixed whether it’s optional or not), then the end result is that there’s no game left to play once you max your level.
optional means you are not forced to do it, not that the content is not there. The same way that I can’t claim that Skyrim has no side quests just because I’m not forced to do them, the same way that I can’t claim that WoW has no battlegrounds, because I’m not forced to participate in it.
I am only responding to the first part of what you said. As far as it being noob friendly, in some ways it was, but I played during that free trial period they had, and I remember being really frustrated because I kept going back and forth between my “personal story” and the world, and I didn’t know why one was instanced. I couldn’t see how I could ever leave those 2 starting areas (I wasn’t able to complete my personal story quest because it was a couple levels above me). They could do a better job of explaining what was going on with the starting zones and the personal story.
Also, crafting is really important to me, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t see how to start. The crafting is kind of confusing in this game, as it’s pretty different from where I come from. And they really don’t explain at all about choosing those. I’m still only level 8, so maybe they do later.
Forgive me for being new, but I don’t understand how to salvage things. I have a salvage kit, but how do I use it?
