Secret GW2 Features you ACTUALLY didn't know about!

[@Jmvars]

0:48 Someone mentioned this and said it's useful in the Twilight Oasis fractal as it allows you to select the right Amara and ping her to your squad. Been doing it ever since.

[@LCAyoutube]

[@TheSparkIdea]

Yooooopp

[@Redicious]

and Vishen Steelshot in Drizzlewood

[@dovydasstrielkus3623]

well for amara i was just tabbing to see legendary icon on target and ping

[@ScreamingStar64]

And YOU just blew my mind with that!

[@parasite159]

Phew... thank god that on screen text is there, I wouldn't have known who i was watching ;)

[@arkanaloth2617]

I had no idea about clicking the target bar to target them... that may well make SEVERAL meta's so much easier.

[@Attor715]

As a person who plays with lag and lowest visual settings where the boss often doesn't render or simply moves around too much, can confirm that its super helpful! One of my fav details that Lara pointed out!

[@The_Quaalude]

I learned this from that one sniper boss with with clones on drizzle wood coast

[@SirGareth]

It's really useful for bosses that make clones like Amala in the Twilight Oasis fractal. Immediately targets the actual boss

[@michu1247]

You probably didn't know that because its not working for all events, but they are using it more in expansion.

[@SBCBears]

NOW you tell me! 😀

[@sirgaf1497]

here are 2 more good things for your list of good 2 know things. 1: when you sell something on TP, you can hold the mouse over the "Total Price amount" and you get a small popup that tells you the Actual profit after listings fee and tax .. 2: if you hold down Shift and hold down Left mouse on your minimap, you will get some combat icons that you can guide your squad with.

[@navneeths459]

Yeah, the seocnd is highly useful in the 5v5 PvP matches.

[@arkrieg]

1:41 After all this time, I never thought to click on the gear and check out the achievement filters, thanks Lara! This is gonna make MP/title collecting somewhat easier

[@Darkstar2342]

IIRC the achievement filter has only been added "recently" (I think around PoF?) so don't feel bad if you didn't know that

[@Taigokumaru]

Great list! Here's another: All skills that require a target (or mention one) will show a subtle red bar under the skill icon. The red bar means your target is "out of range" or "too far away" for that skill to hit them. Click an ally/enemy to target them. If you walk close enough to the target, the bar will go away. When you know to look for it, you'll notice many of your skills have red bars that appear and dissappear as you run around enemies.

[@gabrieldartemius9940]

I've seen those bars SO MANY TIMES and NEVER realized it! WTH. Thank you so much!

[@nicoleford3369]

I was wondering what those red bars meant. Thanks for that!

[@MehrumesDagon]

actually every skill with a range has that :)

[@ScreamingStar64]

Have to admit, I was skeptical at first, but you genuinely blew my mind with the Evon Gnashblade mode and the reordering of the watched achievements! Another great video, keep them coming!

[@DrWarBear]

Same! I NEVER knew about those features and been playing for over 6 years. Recording watch list is huge, as I usually keep long term achievements tagged, but also tag my targeted daily achievements each day. Sucks when the one I’m working on gets buried

[@Canadians360]

You can also call target with the health bar, if you have bosses with illusory copies and need to find the right one, just CTRL + Click the healthbar and you'll put a nice red target over that tricksy fractal mesmer boss head or the proper shadow clone to go slap.

[@mackwakyduck1014]

That is actually great. Thanks !

[@CoconutIcedEspresso]

The siege turtle teleport also works with the jade bot personal waypoints! So you can teleport a friend to hard to reach places like hero points, vistas, etc.

[@carlownsworth2798]

only time it does not work with passenger is if you place the waypoint at a location where mounts are barred like a jumping puzzle, you arrive less mount and passenger . but its super useful helping someone outside mesmer portal range who does not have a skyscale.

[@Arsybald]

work also multi chair like tee and noodle :D

[@ElDPRoberts]

The PvP lobby can also work for taking you back to your same location on a map. Very useful if you don't have a level 60+ toon on your account to get into WvW. Also you can get tier 3-4 mats with laurels which aren't available with WvW laurel venders. And if you are worried about losing Pip participation, Obsidian Sanctum does count against you. Also if you want to do a mystic forge and return to your location, you can often access them on your home WvW map. Learned a lot and love your videos. Thanks Lara 😍

[@misuteri8373]

most of them i didn't know, but i give you an additional hint for the first feature about clicking the event HP bar. You can do this for bosses like Amala in the fractals during the opening phase with all her clones to find the real one

[@Luumus]

That is incredibly helpful thank you!

[@ldlfod8337]

Nice, was always watching when the real one would cast signet and for the extra effects later on

[@kaburii9807]

I have a couple of tips to share as well! First off, something a surprising number of ranger players don't know (even higher mastery players), you can name your pets in the pet menu above your hotbar! Same place you swap out your pets, you can name each one. (Mechanist engineers, you too can change your mech's name, I believe by right clicking on your mech's icon. I think it says how to change their name on their tooltip, in case I'm slightly wrong on that front). And for newer rangers that weren't aware, you find and tame new pets by finding specific "Juvenile" versions of creatures in very specific places throughout the maps. On that note: you can type "/wiki " in the ingame chat, and it'll automatically bring up the official wiki page for the thing! (So for rangers looking for pet locations, I recommend typing "/wiki pet locations" into chat, brings up the page quick and easy) And one final fun fact: The "Not So Secret" JP in Gendarran Fields, has a real devious trick it doesn't tell you on the path to the diving goggles (the diving goggles being a part of the "Dive Master" achievement for a free core tyria mastery point, so it's been the downfall of many, this tricky bit of the JP) On the path to the diving goggles, you have to launch across two spinny platforms in a row, that shoot you across each other. The thing is, usually the first one launches you far over the second, and you fall to your death, and have to climb alllllllll the way back up again. But APPARENTLY, as a kind veteran recently taught me, the platforms launch you half of the distance if you jump on them AS they're spinning, rather than BEFORE they start spinning. This is something you are REQUIRED to know about these platforms if you want to get across them successfully, but the game does NOTHING to tell you this. So, the first platform you jump on AS it's spinning, landing you safely on the edge of the second platform. On the second platform, you have to jump on it BEFORE it spins, or else you don't make the distance. Also, those platforms autotarget onto enemies patrolling the blimp below, and have a tendency to launch you in their direction, all the way to your death. So... also turn off autotargeting when going into that jumping puzzle.

[@TheBjornwilly]

I've built up a good amount of hate for that wreched JP, but now I might just give it a go again :)

[@kaburii9807]

@@TheBjornwilly I have an extra tip that might help! The wiki page gives instructions on how to skip the starting section of the JP where you have to board the airship and jump from pillar to pillar underneath it. If you're playing a class with some sort of targetable shadowstep/teleport ability, there's a way to skip that part entirely! I suggest ye check the wiki page for the JP to see the specifics

[@TheBjornwilly]

@@kaburii9807 I think I love you :) Thanks

[@moirapereira7673]

mind blown. I never passed those spinning platforms as I never knew this! (I still completed the jp thanks to a nice mesmer.) Now I'm tempted to try again... Also if you have a springer mount there's a shortcut (if it still works) to skip the whole first part of the jumping puzzle past airship and pillars. You can find vids on yt.

[@kaburii9807]

@@moirapereira7673 The same veteran that taught me the spinning platform trick taught me the springer trick too! And it should be noted that if you happened to have a skyscale, those can fly (by some means I didn't personally experience but saw someone else do ingame) alllllllll the way onto the platform with the diving goggles, bypassing the entirety of the JP

[@7Nine7]

One random tip from me: if you play gw2 in another language as English. Holding right shift will put every on screen text of your game into English. Helps a lot if you play international.

[@kydatyvegrybatokeanvisoko2420]

The obsidian sanctum thing is super useful! I'll definitely be sharing that around. As for my contribution, something I learned from a griffon flying guild is that if you're on your springer and you press dismount right at before the bar empties for the charged jump, you'll be flung into the air without your springer, letting you glide or mount your griffon at the apex, with or without bond of faith. More of a bug or exploit than hidden feature but it's useful nonetheless

[@jowjowbro]

Which can now even be further enhanced by using the jade bot lvl 1 2 or 3 glide boost. So first do bunny trick then glide use glide boost then mount griffon/skyscale

[@PanchromaticNoise]

The map completion mouseover tip is huge! I've always opened up the map filters and rapidly check/uncheck whichever filter has the POIs. Then I might be able to see the last POI blinking at me.

[@kmitsu2319]

this saved most of the HoT maps....

[@craigsparton]

I knew several of these, specifically clicking event healthbars, snap ground target, right clicking chests and skills, map completion mouseovers, siege turtle teleport, hiding the commander tag, and map drawing. Everything else was a complete surprise, and some of those seem very useful. Thanks for the info!

[@Keeperoffyre]

The hover to find what you’re missing on a map thing, realized the other day that, if you are in one zone, but curious about what is left in another zone, zoom into the other zone map and hover over the stuff on the left side and it will show you what you are missing. I always assumed it only worked on the map for the zone you’re in!

[@kydatyvegrybatokeanvisoko2420]

It does that with hero points but not the rest

[@Keeperoffyre]

@@kydatyvegrybatokeanvisoko2420 ah. gotcha.

[@shortsrus]

I finally started playing gw2 and I'm so glad it's at the same time Lara is finally making more guides n stuff btw the emotelist is SUPER useful for someone like me who came from FFXIV and relied on the emote menu

[@Ultraelectromagnetic]

Something i learned very early on w/ ground targeted skills is that you can press the skill key twice and it'll fire off wherever your mouse is. I found this waaay faster and more efficient than pressing the hotkey to aim then clicking with my mouse to fire off the skill. Makes it a lot easier to lead those skills against moving targets. Never needed to enable snapping thanks to this.

[@Nemecyst_]

There is a dropdown option to just fire it right away when you press the hotkey once. The option is next to the Ground Targetting option. Set it to Fast Cast Ground Targetting.

[@vanrottn2356]

@@Nemecyst_ You can chose between upon release (If you eve want to see the ground target for some reason you can hold the skill with Option fast and to immediately fire upon press with instant. Unless playing something like any form of grenade throwing engi, fast is usually the more comfortable one.

[@sudenvarjo]

I've been playing since launch, and more than half of these were new to me! Thanks for the tips! Especially the event UI targeting will be super handy. 😁

[@pixelbumblebee7312]

the snap ground target keybind is gonna be really useful for me. thank you!

[@EyesOfGehenna]

Just remember it will also work for non-combat aoe's. Like when you deploy a siege weapon. I've had many a flame ram end up in a gate I was targeting

[@fiionel]

Another amazing video! I did not know the minstrel thing, would have sold it otherwise I think... And I learned the other stuff in years of playing, knowing that up front would have been amazing ^.^ I really like those more regular videos! (The Laranity arrow is interesting, who else would be sitting there? We now for certain it wont be Silverdiscs skeleton^^)

[@HerrmannAusHH]

Gey noob

[@Colathan]

A practical one for Skyscale owners: Angle the camera upwards towards the sky using right mouse button when using the dash skill. The Skyscale will dash upwards giving you increased height. Some folks use the dash while their camera is level or facing the ground without knowing they can instead gain altitude.

[@EyesOfGehenna]

The thing about the turtle and having someone on board to teleport to and unlock waypoints for them, also works for the teatime chair. Also, it's for waypoints in your current zone only, so you can't teleport bringing your buddy along outside of that zone. But you can do this zone for zone of course.

[@Dan-sc2pi]

I thought this one (for both the turtle and chair) where changed to no longer work for someone who does not have the WP unlocked... they won't pay the fee, but they need the wp to be available already...

[@_Banjo_]

Tip for keyfarmers: You can skip the tutorial . At level 2, a waypoint unlocks on your map, taking it will skip the tutorial. Easily obtainable if you have tomes of knowledge (golem banker for certain accounts or shared slot)

[@mareksroka5629]

I don't know if that's still actual as I don't keyfarm anymore, but I was using my home instance wp stone, then used the alternative exit of the home instance. You end up in your home town. Exiting to the 1-15 map will then trigger the "tutorial completed" and give you enough xp for lvl 2. Another thing: if you go for the chapter 4 (and 6) story instance key, the home wp stone comes in handy in chapter 3, when you have those pesky "return to your home instance to meet with the order representative", just to have them send you to a location that were next to where you were. If you use the stone, the orders will be here in your home instance, allowing you to advance your story. Using the stone again (or using the regular exit) will then port you back where you were, usually close to your next objective

[@PlemYT]

will try it today)

[@mayam.3240]

@@mareksroka5629 Yes it still works as well

[@bopo900]

You only get lvl 2 after the tutorial. So for new accounts this doesnt work. Also i dont think i will spend tomes just to skip a 3 min intro.

[@_Banjo_]

New accounts wont be keyfarming. Also several legacy ones have golem bankers. This is still a useful tip to people. People literally have stacks of tomes . Those minutes are worth skipping

[@BigBrocolli9]

I gotta say, I've been playing for 8 years now and the ones I didn't know were the Evon Gnashblade trick and that you can rearrange your watch list...

[@Pizzous]

My first crafted (and sold) legendary was Minstrel, so I can confirm. Also, you can craft (and sell) Eternity and unlock the skin for Twilight and Sunrise this same way.

[@Tankunish]

I always try to tell people about the UI healthbar click when people are running around like chickens looking for Vishen in the Drizzlewood meta lol It's very useful then!

[@真白ステフ]

3:50 you can also go to the PVP Lobby, works exactly the same and has a WP immediately next to the TP/Bank area.

[@miguelmolano6611]

I have been playing this game for almost 10 years and I only knew the toggle about the chat making it translucent and the little eye about the achievements. This game! Omg! The amount of untold details!

[@rkbkirin5975]

"And sometimes the game doesn't always explain to you these features exist" is pretty much the title of ArenaNet's High-Level Game Design Document for Guild Wars 2. (Taken straight from the Design Document for Guild Wars 1) I *Loved* this video! Thank you so much for making it. I learned something with the very first hint. It doesn't help me much because I often use Action Camera but still I never knew about clicking the boss name and I was in the beta. Many of the other hints were great too, I never knew about the keybind for Snap Ground Target and that I _will_ be using :) Also for your next hints video - you can just click on the objective in the upper left and this will do the same thing as mousing over it (causing it to light up) Excellent video, I'll be sharing this with my friends who play GW2.

[@cattysplat]

Guild Wars 1 was one of the first games I ever used a wiki like site for. Without it you'd be lost finding all those elite skills.

[@nicoper]

I've basically been playing for a decade too and, well, you succeeded. I did _not_ expect there to be this many things in the video I didn't know. Here are the things I didn't know about: • Clicking healthbars in event UI - I was actually doing the Drizzlewood Coast north meta while watching this video, so I tried it on Claw of Jormag immediately and holy shit, it actually works. That's _so_ useful! • /emotelist - I'm pretty sure I'd heard of this before, but completely forgot about it so I'm including it anyways • Achievement filters - I have obviously seen the button, but don't use the search bar a lot so hadn't really paid attention to it. Those filters are sure to come in handy though. • Minstrel novelty trick - _"By Ogden's hammer, what savings!"_ • Reordering watch list - The ordering of this list has been bugging the crap out of me ever since they added it, and, well, I never tried dragging them around... • I am Evon Gnashblade - Like the emotelist, I _had_ heard of this, but also forgotten about it. • Right click skills • Siege turtle teleport • Portal scroll from bank - Neat! Though, I've got my scrolls in shared inventory slots so it's not super-useful for me :3

[@SBCBears]

Sometimes I like to start a toon just for the fun of leveling it to 80. I always come across something I missed with a previous toon and I've been playing GW2 for years. It is insane the amount of care and work that has gone into the game.

[@cattysplat]

It's also why boosting takes away all the chance of learning things you missed or doing things differently. People pretend they are omnipotent with MMOs when in reality they are fallible like everyone else.

[@dasKeks28]

Regarding map completion: You can set "Content Guide" to "Hide Events and Personal Story" in the setting and the arrow at the top right will point you to the closest undiscovered POI / vista / heart.

[@zeriuswolfhart4141]

I've been playing this game off and on for about 7-9 years and i didnt even know HALF of this. Bless you for this information.

[@Shadamehr100]

Playing 6 years so far, never knew about clicking health bars ! Thanks, that will really help a lot, the tab targeting when a boss is surrounded by a ton of adds is awful ...

[@Trinzle]

Rewatching this 2+ years later because I forgot how to do the story marker thing. And since I forgot a bunch of those other things too.. I ended up watching the entire video again :3 (also my eternal thanks for making video chapters! ♡ )

[@shiniestskritt2865]

Additional tip for snap ground targeting key binds: You can enable snapping by default and then use the hold key bind to temporarily disable snapping while holding down that key. In PvE where enemies don't run around as much compared to PvP, I find this setup much more convenient than the reverse setup to not snap by default and then holding a key to snap.

[@franzitrone]

Have you ever had the issue where suddenly it would be toggled? Every time I tried setting a key for that at some point it would have the inverted behaviour.

[@TheBjornwilly]

Well done gethering those neat tricks. I think I knew just three of those, after flippin' 10 years of this! Love the event targeting click, the "I am Evon Gnashblade" TP and the achievement filter!

[@TottWriter]

Okay, I definitely learnt a lot of these for the first time today. I really enjoy watching all your videos, so more content AND new facts about GW2 was a double win for me this time!

[@Utomneian]

clicking the healthbar in the event was something i did on accident a long time ago then quickly forgot about and didn't recall until you mentioned it. i somehow never noticed the achievement filter, always did things the hard way, lol. i definitely never knew about the I Am Evon Gnashblade trick. i didn't know about right clicking skills, did that the hard way too. i didn't know about the portal scroll trick, but i never had to since i keep them in shared slots. thank you for making this video, you are smart, beautiful, and kind

[@rilli8831]

Awesome list . I knew only 3 of them . emotes , drawing on the map and map completion. After 10 years still learning the game . Thank you for sharing this great list of actual in game impact play for me. Keep on being amazing .

[@meh_so_what8943]

cool vid didnt know about the evon gnashblade one. also the teatime chair can also work as a teleport taxi like the siege turtle tip you mentioned.

If you right click on the weapon swap button, a small box pops up where you can quickly change your equipment and build templates without opening the hero panel. I have found this to be extremely helpful, and use it all the time.

You did a great job I learnt at least 3 tricks ty Lara. That right click losing target, I've always wondered why I lose focus Sorted now ty.

[@paxorra23]

Thank you so much!!! I have 3 favorites in this video: 1- Snap ground target keybinds OH MY GOD!!!!! I LOVED THIS ONE! ♥ 2- The right click chest to autoloot (Even yesterday I was thinking about how annoying it is to have to open the chest)🤩 3- Right click on the boss name for a quick selection of the boss😃

[@jmoore9157]

PVP lobby also has bank, TP, laurel and karma merchants plus others. Click to leave the lobby and be teleported back to where you were. All for free! There is a Lion’s Arch portal if you need to get back to Tyria. I use the PVP lobby multiple times to use the facilities.

[@Kandei-Kain]

I've played the game since release, however... for the first zone and quit due to not having anyone to play with. I consider myself a n00b still even with 3 level 80's. I just got my first mount via google telling me how (I was clueless), and I'm still in Season 1. I only knew about the mousing over the map objectives to find the missing one and I only figured that out on accident trying to figure out which ones between my friend and I we still needed. Thank you for the video, I'm going to be using these tips now to help my derpness out in the game. :) Friend and I have been playing it a lot lately, so sorry for the two new 2022 n00bs but we're loving it. :)

[@aez.e]

I've played PVP for 5 years... And I just learnt about the snap ground target. I had no clue that existed! That's how those platinum players constantly hit their AoEs...

[@mikegonzalez2012]

You forgot the most important trick. In options turn on Show All Usable Object Names. This will allow you to see every object needed for quests. This even includes hidden items like the coins in the Silver Waste.

[@kmitsu2319]

wish they would apply this to Matrix Key as well, its so frickn small

[@ZeekarPRIME]

This is said in virtually every new player guide to gw2 tho, no way it's considered a "secret setting"

[@cloudyday4373]

Of all the things in this list, I only knew 2: map completion mouse over and favouriting stuff on the TP. I have been playing almost non-stop for nearly 8 years now. HOW ARE THERE THIS MANY THINGS I DID NOT KNOW???

[@TheBjornwilly]

I know, same thing here for soon-to-be 10 years. It's one massive game, UI-wise as well.

[@Ilergete]

For me, you succeeded on your challenge, and also I had several things on the "I knew I can do that but I completely forgot so the refresher is appreciated" list, so I guess it's a double victory for you xD

[@aidanfenton4377]

Knew all of them except the first one nice job, I do have to say though that its worth mentioning snap ground targeting is just plain bad if you ever want to improve. try without snap and use instant targeting if your grenades always miss because of animations here's why. Targeting: Cursor aimed at target > Skill activated > Skill Animation plays > Enemy moves > grenades thrown at where your cursor originally aimed. Instant targeting: Cursor aimed at target > Skill activated > Skill animation plays > Enemy moves > Grenades will be thrown at end of animation to where your cursor is pointing RIGHT NOW What this means is that not only does your skill start to activate on key depression the target where you want to throw the grenades is taken AFTER the animation plays. This is EXTREMELY important for gamemodes like PvP where people can teleport around quickly but can still be useful for pve for quite a few skills. all you have to do is keep your cursor on the enemy as the animation for throwing grenades is playing out.

[@nminfo750]

I've been playing for almost 8 years and I was surprised by about half of those features. Good video.

[@gabrieldartemius9940]

You can also teleport to PVP, same as with Battlegrounds, and go back to where you came from. You only need to bring up the PVP window again and click on the same button you used to enter it, it now says Exit and brings you back :D

[@njorun1829]

As someone who goes between WvW and PvE the keybind to toggle snap ground target was a godsend, thank you so much!

[@TheSindara]

The PvP Lobby works the same as the Obsidian Sanctum and is available from level 2. Just click Enter Lobby from anywhere. Has Bank, BLTC, Vendor etc and when you click Exit Lobby you go back to where you were previously. Also has a portal to Lions Arch for a free ride to there.

[@stevehamilton5363]

I've been playing since launch. I didn't know any of the obscure ones and only a few of the more common ones. Thank you very much.

Almost all of these I didn't know. I knew about Evon Gnashblade, and about reordering the watch list activities, but only because I just saw them in another video...but that video was only made about 4 months ago, and yours was made 10 months ago from the description. Well done! :)

You won your challenge as far as I'm concerned. I didn't know ANY of the first series of features you described. When you shifted to the more obvious ones, I knew all those already but those first ones were really good to learn, especially keybinding the ground targeting and clicking a boss's health bar to target them. Thanks! (Oh, and I've been playing every day for almost four and a half years.)

[@aniapooles1816]

I’ve played gw2 for 9 years and didn’t know about ANY of the features in the first half of your vid. Thank you!!

Didn't know about most of these and I've had the game installed (although not super active) for 10 years. Loved the WvW teleport thingy!!

[@Seigabri]

One that my friends didnt know about it, and it's exist from the vanilla is that you can Right-click on the chest over the minimap to get them in your inventory without the UI in the middle of the screen, its usefull for fractales, achievements, etc...

[@Pink-pj6oz]

Whoa! There were only a few that I knew about. Laughed a lot that you didn't know about clicking on the boss' name in the right sidebar to auto-target him - it's one of those "I knew this, so of course Laranity knew it 10 years ago, right?" LOL Thanks for another excellent video! 💖

[@petreion9960]

3:56 lol, you didn't mention the PVP area teleport, that also has a bank, a trading post and many pvp vendors - still does not have crafting places, which would be the actual reason you would buy one of them passes :)

I did know a lot of these (found them out by accident/curiosity bc I lag a lot and can't see things on the actual screen half the time lmao) BUT! I didn't know about the achievement filters! So you definitely succeeded in your challenge for me! :D Super helpful to know esp since I've been trying to track down titles recently! Thanks Lara!!❤

1:14 I wish I knew this earlier. Click hunting Lyhr in a field of players crowding him will be easier than ever

[@namifiaarboreal4634]

A few things you mentioned I didn't know but I will use them from now on. You made things so much easier. 😄

[@Ferret5317]

Didn't know I could click health bars, rearrange tracked achieves, mapinfo or Evon Gnashblade mode. Also I forgot how to draw on the map so I was reminded of that useful feature. Well done!

[@pransis]

I didn't know around 4 or 5 of these tips. Clicking the meta event to select that's event's boss blew my mind.

[@tombocai]

I knew some of those, but others were new to me. fun fact: if you have more then one gw account and you put things in the favorites on TP in one account, they will show up as favorites in the TP menu of your other accounts. I guess since TP is an outside site you acess from inside gw it probably saves cookies based on your IP and not your account.

This is amazing, first time a features video actually had many that I did not know about thank you so much!!!

[@mignonlabuschagne2856]

I love this! I've been playing gw1 many years and gw2 since launch and there are at least 4 things on this list I didn't know.

[@AtomicTreeDude]

Holy crap the map completion tip I did not know! I would pull up the wiki map on my other monitor and compare. This is going to make my map completion so much faster. Also I’m working on Minstrel right now and did not know about the novelty! Awesome video.

[@dannysahne8610]

Didn't know about the health bar and never realized there are achievement filters. This will make my GW2 life so much easier, thanks a lot!

[@MaidMirawyn]

Most of those I didn’t know. That siege turtle waypoint trick is going to really come in handy…so frustrating when my husband and I don’t both have the waypoint! Thanks.

[@thrasherx9319]

You blew me away. I have been playing since launch and most of these were new to me. Great video.

[@syro2412]

As a new player to game, these videos really help. Your gw2 lore video was awesome!

[@robertwheaton1422]

I play GW2 almost 10 hours a day 7 days a week and I'm ranked in the top 50 AP in the game and this video taught me things I had no idea about! Thank You!

[@SDSkuld]

I learned a lot, even though I’ve played since launch! The trading post one was mind-blowing. Thank you.

[@cattysplat]

Bless the people who actually sit down and browse through all the menus to find out these hidden options.

[@trixx_the_badger]

I got another one for you: If you opened many bags and have a kilometer long item list on your side of the screen, use an item that opens the map (like the Shining Blade Bounty Notice) to get rid of them all

[@lordflunder]

but why would that bother u so much to go out of your way to get rid of the "queue"? even more so since the items disappear by themselfs after a 2secs anyways lol

[@carriepadgett2743]

You have made my night, I have been playing for so many years and didn't know about most of these

[@daviddunford8265]

There's lots of secrets in GW2 playing the game too. Here's a freebie for you... When doing your storyline, choose the Order of Whispers and rescue Demi Beetlestone. After you rescue her, you need to get her out of Lion's Arch. There are two options. One of them is to turn Tybalt into Demi and fake out her pursuers. If you take this quest, you will start out on a bridge and shortly thereafter Tybalt will turn into Demi. If you turn away from Tybalt and go UP the bridge, there will be a covered bridge to the right that will just barely skim the non-playable area. Just as you get past this bridge you will want to take a left and fall off the edge, then walk towards the ruins area. You will again get near the non-playable area, but if done right you will come out on the opposite side of the dock where you're suppose to take "Demi," completely avoiding all the guards in the process. If done right, it will only take a minute or so to finish the quest. Another gift for ya... During your time with the three orders, you get a chance to go to Triskel Quay (sp?) during a Vigil or Whispers Quest. Take the Vigil quest to go and save the people. When you do the quest, you will have a little cut scene where you see the undead attacking the city and you're suppose to fight the undead until you can get to the commander some distance away. After the cut scene, you're going to want to run towards the city, but before you actually get to it, you will want to run to the right and look for the roof of a building just over the edge of the cliff. You should see two abominations and a bunch of undead attacking a group of guardsmen, and the commander you want to talk to is there as well. Just jump on the roof and, if you have ranged weapons you can kill everything off rather quickly and then jump down and talk to the commander, ending the quest. Alternatively, you can just jump down, kill everything there and talk to the commander that way. Either way, you avoid 99% of the map and the battles you would get into on it, This one really helps speed up the key farming. Enjoy! :)
