There are definitely bugs and some external miscommunication with the system and I want to listen some more before discussing.
ChrisThis is interesting.
Chris is saying there has been external miscommunication about the new system. Could it be that you guys realize you went too far with the removing of functions and level gating it too extreme, and it was not supposed to dumb down the game quite this much?
Hi Traveller,
No not really. I m referring to some videos etc that aren’t quite factually correct in all areas and thus there are some misconceptions being propagated by those that have not played the through NPE yet.
Chris
Don’t want to de-rail the thread this was in so I thought I would clear this comment up a bit by starting a new topic.
There is some misconception about a lot of things that are level gated videos/some comments don’t tell the entire story. A lot of things that people think is level gated actually is not. This is due to the UI shows a Unlock symbol on some of these items. But in reality just like WvW and sPvP you can still preform the actions at Level 1. You are just unlocking the hint about the items.
The following are level gated items:
- Weapon skill 2 (Unlocked at level 2)
- Weapon skill 3 (Unlocked at level 3)
- Profession skill F1 (Unlocked at level 4)
- Rally(downstate) (Unlocked at level 5)
- Off-hand weapon slot (Unlocked at level 7)
- Weapon skill 4 (Unlocked at level 7)
- Underwater Combat (Unlocked at level 8 with underwater weapon skills 1 and 2)
- Personal story (Unlocked at level 10 in chapters every 10 levels)
- Weapon skill 5 (Unlocked at level 10)
- Utility Skill 1 (Unlocked at level 13)
- Underwater skill 3 (Unlocked at level 14)
- Weapon Swap (Unlocked at level 15)
- Down Skill 3 (Unlocked at level 19)
- Profession skill F3 (Unlocked at level 22)
- Underwater skill 5 (Unlocked at level 23
- Utility Skill 2 (Unlocked at level 24)
- Profession skill F4 (Unlocked at level 24)
- Adapt Tier Traits (Unlocked at level 30)
- Elite Skill (Unlocked at level 40)
- Master Traits (Unlocked at level 60)
- Grandmaster Traits (Unlocked at level 80)
The following items are not locked but do not appear on the minimap until the specified level.
- Points of Interest (level 7)
- Gathering Nodes (Level 9) – Nodes may have been removed in areas before this level. No there is no potato famine there is plenty of potato in Metrica Province.
- Vista (level 10)
Please note I do not necessarily agree with all of the changes. Specifically the changes to unlocking of weapon skills please see my feedback at the following link.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Learning-Curve/first#post4389552All other items that are being reported as level locked are likely not. If you have a question about a particular item feel free to discuss it.
If you think I missed some or my information is incorrect please feel free to tell me so I will research it then inform you the results. I currently have enough characters spaced out on levels enough that I can get to most of the levels in a somewhat timely manner.
The majority of my source is http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Level_rewards and me playing with the system itself yesterday to level 10.

I would also like to see FoW and UW make a come back in Guild Wars 2. Also, not many people were able to see the Tomb of Primeval Kings, we might be able to revisit that one too, some day? I think it would be really cool to be able to go back and see how those realms have changed from time as well as see some new creatures that we can destroy!
