I'm glad you've translated it from WoW stuff, as I've just started playing GW2 after 2 decades of WoW. A lot of it seems familiar, I'm loving the dynamic events, means players are actually doing group content in the overworld.

[@Biggysweats]

WoW is were ive been based for like the last 20 years myself so i understand that! and GW2 can feel familiar but also very different! i just hope it helps even a lil bit! and theres so many people always doing world events its actually banging

10 years + wow player here. I’m playing GW2 for 3 years now and never looked back. Went in for Dragonflight a single month and the game just feels so hollow and empty. Mindless grind every season. Nothing ever happens in the world. Bloated currencies etc etc etc Guild Wars has its weaknesses too but it feels very alive, fresh and very fair to the player.

Thinking about picking up the ultimate collection since it's currently on sale. I played GW2 like 11 years ago. I never really felt like i knew what i was doing but the main story line was entertaining.

[@Biggysweats]

Do it the game has so much! Definitely worth

[@kygoers]

I wish I could have student loans are now out of grace period so no more disposable income for a few years for me sadly. I did manage to get the starter bundle but not the whole collection I’m still glad that I’m finally away from wow. Crappy Christmas at first since my mom died earlier in the year and dog passed away Christmas morning from a seizure but at least I did manage to buy the starter bundle to distract myself to help clear my head. Sorry went kinda on a tangent but it’s been a crappy last few days. On a side note went to a big city in the game and saw probably close to 100 player sitting down doing some kinda show no clue what was going on but you Wouldn’t see that on wow that’s for sure.

@kygoers my condolences bud, sending energy your way

[@kygoers]

@biggysweatsMMO thanks I appreciate it.

Slight correction on the level scaling: you will be scaled down if you are overlevelled, but you will not be scaled up, so you can't just go to higher level areas. It's worth noting that while scaled down you keep your skills, it's only your stats that get adjusted. Exceptions to this are fractals, wvw and festival zones, where you can be scaled up.

[@jrafel1707]

Rarely covered in new player guides is : If you are new to this game is that unlike some games where in game gold flows freely, In this game, the game itself gives you minor things that you are to turn into gold on the AH by selling materials that others need. Coppers and silvers add up. Keep that in mind when eyeing the conversion of gold to gems for buying things in game. I've played MMO's where by passively playing I end up ith more gold than I know what to do with. GW2 is not like that, In this game you have to work for your gold. Those sticks of butter you get in sacks in starter zones sell in no time and if you wait for the 3 silvers you get for completing high level quests in areas to give you enough gold to convert to gems, you'll be waiting a very long time.

Hey I’ve never played an mmo before but I can tell I love them, what are some tips from you? Also if I play in the free version of this game for a while, will everything transfer to the expansions when I decide to buy some?

[@TheButteryGamer]

This was a really nice guide to watch and learn from as a returning player who hasnt played in 9 years, thanks for the content, helped out a lot.

[@Biggysweats]

I'm glad it helped! Hopefully, you will enjoy the return

[@TheButteryGamer]

@@Biggysweats thank you, i am so far :3

[@Zrere]

Great video, been playing this recently myself and learnt some new things from this

[@Biggysweats]

Glad I could help!

[@Haloi327]

Hi I recently saw your Guild Wars 2 video cover, and I was really impressed by the lighting and shadow effects on your character. The visuals are stunning! May I ask how you achieved such a beautiful look? Did you use specific software or presets, like ReShade or something similar? Thanks in advance for any tips or advice you can share!

[@ahmki52298]

Just waiting for that sale on end of dragons

[@vitorNook]

i have 1 question, can i remove the skill effects of others and their ground markers? like wow and ffxiv? i just want to see my stuff, enemy stuff, and ground heals and buffs

[@unita2310]

Could try this game... :D

[@Biggysweats]

Love you unit

[@Dumpsid]

i played 30 hours as a f2p and what made me uninstall was the 10HR Raptor mount, i enjoyed every hour I played, but I can't justify spending 25 dollars(which is equivalent to about a week worths of food in mycountry) for a game I would only play for about an hour or three every weekend..... and after spending 10 hours with the raptor around the world, walking through it after felt such a slog. I love the game, hopefully they add a f2p mount in the future

[@raveyus6847]

only if they dropped a sale rn

[@Biggysweats]

Honestly we might get one close to janthir release!

[@TheRahyah]

Worst new player experience in mmos. Bought two expansions, started to play, finished first map - deleted the game and never coming back. Just awful experience. Untill level cap, all you do in game is completing maps and doing quests, which by the way is soooooo slow that you can literally fall asleep. Finishing the map on 100% is so much pain, never had that felling in ANY mmo out there. Character progression is so hard to understand, you literally can't understand anything for dozens of hours. Same with instanced pve - u just won't understand anything without hours of google and KZbin searching. No way anyone who respects their time will do any of that. Worst mmo for fresh start. It is baseline unplayable unless you ready to spend hours of finding information and watching videos, which is not that easy to find. The whole time playing you feel lost and don't understand what the hell is going on and what are you supposed to do. Have some respect for yourself and don't start this mess

[@Shubbanuffa]

Hey man I completely understand your frustration. I’m a fairly new player and felt that same exact way and even quit the game too after my first 10 hours in it, coming back after my first 100 hours I can tell you the systems are completely worth learning. This game is incredibly enjoyable, and as a recommendation for you if you’d wanna try it again, is to go in and pick one system of progression, wether that crafting, map completetion, raiding, or rifts and do a focused understanding of that system. With the horizontal progression you are not losing out on huge things by only doing one system at a time, so if you have the patience I’d suggest trying to pick one! I completely feel your frustration though and I appreciate the time you put into trying to learn this complicated but so cool game. Hoping you come back to us!

[@harmlesshawk1794]

This feels like bait ngl.

[@Stevethebeast08]

That’s not how you are meant to play the game though. Map completion is an end game activity. Unfortunate, I’m sorry you were discouraged.

[@StrongArmEntertainment]

My 5 year old seems to do fine... 🤔

[@DreamsOfDionysus]

I fell in love. I think where you start matters. I struggle with Asura race and the Charr, but Human and Sylvari were good. I started Sylvari and loved it.
