    All I needed was was the first 5 seconds, ty and see ya in game XDXD All true, but a heads up for new players if there's any: the base game story 1~80 and the Living World season 2 are the most low paced story content the game has to offer, but if you are into lore there's much to get from there too!

    I started playing GW2 in vanilla, and stopped playing before getting into PoF content. Coming back after having not played since 2017 has been an absolute blast! I love how ANet has managed to cater to players of all types, as you can play the game as a casual exploration game, you can play as a hard core raider, or even a pvper, and *everyone gets rewarded for it*. I never feel like I'm wasting my time or that I'm being punished for playing the game how I want to, which is huge!!

    I come from wow 2005/2010, classic & hard core. I would like to try GW2. I have a question, is it possible to leveling and get gear through pvp ? I can enjoy pve aspect of the game after of course. Thank for answering.

    • @Jrocks26
      @Jrocks26  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Gear yes, you can get a full set of Legendary armor as well as ascended equipment. I have a guide on both actually. You have to level up for WvW. For pvp it sets you to level 80 automatically

    • @silverwing7279

    • @MrArkaneMage
      @MrArkaneMage Před 5 měsíci +2

      As this was not really answered yet.... yes, it is definetly possible to "level" via PvP because you get a lot of level-up-tomes from it.
      I recommend you playing the first 20 levels at least though as this takes you only like two hours and you will get familiar with the most basic stuff so you are not that lost with what everything is.

    • @setajucizbun7073
      @setajucizbun7073 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Yes you can. Personal advise is to try to level through the first few levels (about 20-30) alone, because the higher you go the higher the XP requirements meaning that all instant level ups you use on higher levels are more valuable than lower levels. The game is gonna teach you some basic things through that as well. BUT, while leveling you will engage with the open world- arguably best PvE done in any MMORPG. So you might end up liking it.

    • @Jrocks26
      @Jrocks26  Před měsícem +1

      Both are great games! One cool thing with Guild Wars is its free to play, no subscription fee. So you can play to max level for free. It is also a horizontal progression game so all your progression is the same when you come back, you dont fall behind like other games if you decide to take a break. We are currently taking a break and playing FF14, but anytime we jump back in we are geared and ready to go!

      You could set it up on steam deck for sure I've played, all big mmos on there, wow, ff14, new world. You just need wifi I use my trucks wifi if im out and about. Gl some of the games like wow was really hard to get going but gw2 is on steam so should work pretty easily

    The thing of being fully voice acted surprises me even all this time after. First, because is a game from a medium budget company and basically they have the best voice actors in the market and second, because supposedly isn't an story oriented MMO, but look FF14, they don't have that (actually it's a super mediocre MMO)

  • @MrPhyxsyus

    Your commentary on the holy trinity is incorrect, Guild Wars 2 DOES have a holy trinity, even though originally they tried to design it differently, once raids released that changed and they went back on it, while it's true almost all classes have access to different roles through spec and skill choice. A trinity does exist, healers, dps and tanks are a thing in the endgame instanced pve (raids,strikes,fractals etc.) and with the heavy reliance on boons for ALL classes to perform their rotations (it is the standard to benchmark with a boon setup provided by established support builds), your point here is very inaccurate.
    Regardless, I would recommend the game. You'll get a lot of mileage to money spent (assuming you are buying the expansions). It is great value.

    Nope, not worth it this 2024, outdated. Anet just want your money. If you will report a players whos being disrespectful or harass you, they don't do shit. But if its about something that hurts their income like sending gold to friends or other players then they banned you with no further explanation. Take my advice guys look for other games or regret.

    I don't agree that " your character will always be viable "
    Everything gets locked behind expansions, same with gw1, so if you don't pay 2 win then you will be behind.
    For those that don't get it, you will be skill/ability blocked instead of gear blocked.
    Its not bad tho.

      Nice, core mesmer is on of my favorite core to play :) Ofc you "can" kill but you are behind on everything, you don't even have access to all stats on gear. Even a mount is plenty of more extra health, you also don't have the same mobility. In a zerg you wont be able to keep up dps, thus gimping your team if you are in a full squad etc etc. Expansion classes just do all the same AND more. Can the game be fun as core? ofc but you are not competitive in a group, if the other players are, they probably don't want you around.

    Short answer :NO
    Long answer :Your free time shouldn't be this much worthless for waste in this game.Arena-net right now at route of skimplation.Since release there are so many contents abandoned and left to rot game looks like a failed abomination.Dungeons,raids,PVP all forgotten.WvW? Yeah Alliances coming soon TM.Story become a joke with Dragon cycle.Strikes nothing but copy paste of story missions.And this horizontal progression made to game aged like milk.Because after Ascended all your other item becomes a skin.And u just burying your chair like a zombie you chasing to herd and collecting materials for complete your collection or sellin for purchase new Plushie skin.
    There is a cult mentality in this game keep praising every decision of Arenanet and this allows them to do what ever they want.Because there is not much an alternative of this game.So cultist of this game doesnt wanna critize bc they think this will damage their game.But you are the one damagin this game with your toxic positivity.So no this game not worth to play fmo there are so many better games and activities to spend your time than this Purgatory.
