Same here!

Dang! I love it so far

Thank you!

Ya I I’m used to the slow paced games used to play FFXI back at the start where it took months to get max. But I’m loving this so far! I definitely want to get to end game especially since the new expansion is around the corner. But I’ll take my time and enjoy the ride! Thanks for the advice!

@@SprintMMO The nice thing is that lvl 1-80 progression isn't overly difficult. I've been playing this game off and on since launch, have all the current expansions though I still have to work towards completing End of Dragons, and the game is not one that is hard to pick back up and get back into the groove of things. If anything, the most time consuming thing will be finding everything. Especially skill and mastery points, which will make getting your first elite class (level 80) much easier wrt the skill points. There are over 180 skill point locations to visit over the entire map. Don't worry about getting enough from leveling, as you will gain enough to unlock all the skill tree stuff for the base game version of your class and the game is perfectly playable and beatable with just base class. The expansions are a bit kinder in the skill point locations, with those giving 10 per, but are also largely harder to get as a good number of them require making use of the expansion's mechanics (gliders and updrafters for Heart of Thorns, mounts for Path of Fire, and I haven't even gotten to the new one for End of Dragons). The most annoying part is that the living world content, which is free if you log in when that specific chapter releases and before the next one, but is 200 Gems otherwisem, thus require a small price to unlock. Once unlocked, it's all account bound, but it is annoying. And this stuff adds a lot to the story, especially the Path of Fire ones, which are absolutely epic. On top of an expansion that was absolutely epic. Not that the main content isn't already epic in its own right. Even better, you can go back to areas and use them to progress as YOUR level scales to the area, but with the caveat that it is only down, not up. But it means that it is entirely possible, if time consuming, to reach max level in just the starting zones for each race. And the level progression is MUCH faster than it was when the game was fairly new, not to mention a bit easier. One thing, base game World Bosses are the main reason to get your exploration complete (just the waypoints), as farming them is one thing a lot of players do, and some of those world bosses are epic (I'm looking at YOU, Claw of Jormag).

That’s for all the info! I’m looking forward to it! I did what I think is a world boss in the starter swamp the other night. It was pretty epic nothing like any other game I have played since your able to just jump right in and fight it. So ready to see what all the world has to offer and what profession I will like best!!

@@SprintMMO Ah, that one. The Shadow Behemoth is a good one for showing how world boss fights can be mechanically challenging. And you went with Guardian it seems. I prefer Elementalist (that's my first character and the one who later bcame my main) but I've beaten the base game with every class short of Engineer. Guardian seems like a tank class, but Guild Wars 2 does not do the usual MMO Trinity of Tank/DPS/Healer. Every class can do them, but each class is better at certain one. It's going to be based on your weapon/armor suffixes or prefixes, as those actually dictate the stat bonuses.

@@jgkitarel ya I was looking into classes that can heal cuz that’s what I do a lot in a lot of MMOs so the support classes are what sounds fun. The necro and Druid sounds like a lot of fun.

Thank you!

Ya I noted that the small changes you make while creating your character does change the story a up at least in the starting areas. I’m ready to see how it all falls in to play! Loving it so far the especially the community is so helpful and kind!

@@SprintMMO The game is a sleeper hit, for sure. Those who play it tend to fall in love with it.

@@SprintMMO He turned out to be an arrogant, egotistical, and abusive sex pest so he got replaced after the Core game and the new composers have been, IMO, a lot better than him at composing a fitting score HoT soundtrack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9qmobNqlraoloU.html PoF soundtrack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJyUdrKeptKcpJs.html EoD soundtrack: (There are spoilers in some of the titles) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZuWfMhoyazWh2g.html&pp=ygUNZW9kIG11c2ljIGd3Mg%3D%3D The title has spoilers for LW s1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdJ2q7Kqm9C4lXU.html&ab_channel=SGTBizarro.

To late! Haha

Even if he does, the game will grab him and drag him back to it. Been that way with me, and I've been playing since launch. Can easily go to another game, but I always come back.

Thank you! Such a welcoming community

@@SprintMMO absolutely, always love to see new players giving it a chance! Can’t wait to see more from your experience!

Funny thing your Character Is Voiced by nolan north And Logan is voiced By Troy baker hahahahaha I Call that a funny detail Alot of good voices are in the Game

So far so good! And I did not know that! That’s pretty cool!

That’s awesome! What profession you starting?

@@SprintMMO I went elementalist. I normally play mage characters in other games so I figured I’d play one here as well. Especially once I found out they can heal too. I don’t like swapping weapons, and I like the elemental swapping instead. For some reason it makes more sense to my brain lol.

I get that I’m normally a paladin/healer in other games so I felt that would be my best bet but I know I’ll play the other classes as well

@@SprintMMO I really leaned toward Guardian too as I also play paladins/priests in other games. But I prefer ranged. You’re gonna be well off as a guardian. They are good at all levels it seems like everyone says.

Ya that’s what I was reading! Just ready for the specialist so I can try them out!

I wanted to see the story of all the races and just started with human haha

So? Gw2 humans are pretty dope
