Hello there,
I finally made the decision and quit WoW after ten years of devotion, but like a true MMORPG addict, I need another replacement, which brings me to you
GW2 is downloading as I write to you. I would be grateful for some assistance in getting me started based on the following questions or any additional advise you may have for a brand new player:
1) Should I buy the expansions now? It’s not about the money. I’m used to supporting game devs on games I enjoy. I just don’t want to spoil the order of the game experience.
2) Even though I’m watching a lot of YouTube on classes, which top 2 or 3 classes do you recommend for solo-capable farming for dungeons, transmorgs, pets, mounts, or whatever the equivalent of higher-level farming is in this game?
In WoW I usually focused on things that transcended expansions. What I mean by that are things that didn’t necessarily get outdated, such as mounts, pets, transmogs. Because I was never into hardcore raiding, farming for gear was not my priority, because I knew it would be outdated soon anyway. Instead, I focused on lasting items. Though I enjoyed rolling with friends and guilds, I did most of this farming solo, which required a solo-friendly class. My picks were hunter and death knight.
3) Piggy-backing on question 2, what can one do in GW2 that transcends time? Here are some examples from WoW:
a. Achievement completion
b. Mount farming
c. Pet farming
d. Transmogs
4) Any additional tips for a noob?
Thank you much and happy holiday!
