    So for some perspective...
    Black Desert is my first and only MMO since 2017. So you can imagine the culture shock when I went into GW2.
    I was skeptical, but the game was just nice and cozy like that.
    It felt like the equivalent of coming from an abusive childhood household and finding a nice old couple in the country side giving me a roof to sleep under, food to eat, and a fire to keep me warm.

    Fantastic tips. One that I pay special attention to : Fully dead, please take a waypoint. In many cases, taking a waypoint and raptoring back is faster than waiting for a rez. I am one of the guilty - if you're down, I'll revive you; if you're dead, I'll leave you laying there and fight over your corpse. Just WP away and jump back in.

    Regarding Renown Hearts: Don't completely ignore them. There are certain items in later parts of the game that you can only buy from Renown Heart-locked merchants. A lot of map events take place within the Renown Hearts area so if you see an event symbol next to a renown heart try to do the event - you'll get to complete the event and the renown heart progress bar at the same time.

    The best tips for new players are talking to people and trying different things. Guys, do what you enjoy and find friends/guild who will do it with you. You don't necessarily have to make the most optimal gold farm, if you don't enjoy it, it can cause you to burn out and stop playing this amazing game because then it just becomes a grind. Unless you are grind enjoyer, then go and farm that juicy gold.
    Thanks Teapot another great video!

      Sadly I have 4 lvl 80's and coming back I have lost where I am, because I been gone for over 2+ years, and lets face it this game is NOT returning player friendly, yes people will help you but would you take me into Fractals never seen one?? When you take me on a raid knowing I never been there, or maybe farming legendary gear would you take me never knowing where to start? Yes it sounds like please hold my hand but isn't asking questions the very thing of holding hands to begin with.

    • @epto

      ​@@jasons718 I came back to the game after 8 years. 1 year later and I'm clearing strikes, raids and T4 fractals. I even managed to clear some CMs.
      Find a training group for Strike/Raid on LFG or join a guild. There are so many guild doing training runs every week for complete beginners. Tier 1 fractals (0-25) are for complete beginners, that does not even require you to have ascended gear, go for that and learn there.
      If you don't have guild, LFG is your friend, just join a group and tell them you are new, they will either kick you or tell you what to do.
      I was also joining training groups at the beginning, and majority of the commanders were super friendly, because they expect you to suck at the game.
      Also, watch MightyTeapots zero to hero here on youtube, that will teach you a lot ;)

    If you're working on putting together your first set of Exotic equipment and money's still tight, shop around and check the wiki for various ways to get gear with the prefix you want. Sometimes much sought after sets like Viper's and Celestial will have alternate sources that can be much cheaper than buying at the trading post or even crafting them yourself.

    Great video! Started playing roughly two and a half weeks ago and just got my first character to lvl80. I took my time and just engaged in everything I saw while going through the different maps. Doing it that way was very enjoyable for me and a little confusing at the same time because in every other mmo I tried out or played a while I very much had the urge to rush and I can't really tell why...
    Maybe GW2 just hit different because being in the open world is way more fun than in other games. Well, it seems like all I did was only the beginning of my GW2 journey... there's so much to do and I haven't really figured out where to start. It's great. This is exactly what I want when it comes to mmo's. Had to get that out. I like this game!

    If npc's stop talking, you need to change the language in the launcher to download the voice files.
    All interface and menu stuff will be translated when holding right strg, including [linked] stuff in the chat.

    I'm not sure theres ever been an individual player who's ever done more for an MMO than you have for GW2 Teapot.
    Your videos helped get me back into the game (was a typical "played it pre expansion, enjoyed it but lack of endgame = quit" player) and I enjoying it so much.
    Even got some of my WoW raider buddies to come along, and things are clicking so much for us. Your site helped us understand the psuedo trinity of GW2 with offensive / heal supports so we have everything covered as a group...I think.
    Im on a P Quick Herald, also gonna put together a heal set. We've got a H Alac Druid, Spellbreaker DPS, Weaver DPS and Reaper DPS. I'm sure it's far from perfect, but we have the basics covered thanks to your content so thank you (and the community as a whole)!

  • @MagicButterfly549

    I disagree with not completing hearts... I would advice to complete 100% of each map as you go. After completing 100% of a map (quests, vistas, points of interested, hero points and waypoints) you will unlock rewards, including dyes and transmutable charges to customise your character's appearance. Moreover later on if you want to craft a first generation legendary weapon you will need the gift of exploration, which will be given to you when you complete 100% of all the maps. If would make it more smooth to complete maps every now and then and have that ingredient ready to go than to grind hard later on to get a legendary weapon. Exploration is one of the greatest features of gw2

    Here are my own 2 tips.
    Reading revisions! Skills in gw2 are a bit complicated if you are a new player. You don't have to remember the whole skill just what does in general but you should go back and read again at different times of your journey and reevaluate the information. You will often find skills that you previously thought useless to be much Much better, and skills that initially sounded good to be useless. Others may have components that you missed or forgot or new syngergies that you didnt know/understand before like combo fields or only doing condition damage when you have a power build.
    The other important information is atttributes or stats. They are important in almost everything, from foods to gear to skills and traits. Understanding what each attribute is and does is actually really simple but infinitly important. Trust me on this one.

    • @EvilMrElmo
      @EvilMrElmo ปีที่แล้ว

    The number 1 issue I saw with the influx of new player videos was the lack of reading the UI. These new players were ignoring the pop ups and level rewards then complained about the game. One guy didn't know you could weapon swap for a long time lol. READ THE USER INTERFACE and interact with things. That's how you learn new software...
    I always say, "developers put that on screen for a reason...". Always look at hover state and right click actions. I'm a web developer/designer.

    My best advice for newer players who are struggling with the game is that success in this game when it comes to combat is reliant on your knowledge of enemy abilities and attack animations.
    You could have a perfect build and set of gear, but if you don’t know what enemy attacks do, or when to dodge, or when they need to be interrupted, you may just be killed and not know why.
    There are tons of enemies in this game and a lot of them are challenging until you know how to fight them, so the best advice I can give is just don’t be afraid to die and keep trying. Learn the enemies, and you will start to succeed.

    I bought the game 2 years and I didn't really play, now I tried again and it's been nice so far. I was kind of bored farming mobs only at some point and finished "heart quests" in a zone that's my level and got lazy to search an other zone that's around my level.
    I love the heart quests tbh. But the only thing that is a bit hard to master for me, is the navigation between zones (especially following the wiki).
    Even if you discover a zone you won't see immediately all the name of the subzones. Also it's kind of hard to know the outlines of a specific zone.
    Beside that, I love everything in the game so far.
    So now that I know about level scaling, I'm gonna finish all the heart quests in every zone.

    I quite recently(179 days ago according to /age) started to play, while I intentionally try to limit myself to roughly doing things in order(in terms of expansions) I've yet to get bored of anything. Sure the personal story for the third time is a bit of a drag, but just doing something else for a bit and not actually feeling like I'm losing "progress" is great. To my mind the sheer amount of ways to progress is the best thing about gw2.

    @Ham68229 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You can actually level up just by crafting as well. The best thing that anyone can do is, start crafting. Teaches you what goes together and how it goes together. Plus, if you don't like the gear you crafted, salvage it for materials and make something different. I think this is severely overlooked in game. People tend to buy gear, armor, weapons from the trading post, when in fact, they should be crafting it. Believe it or not, GW2efficiency helps with this as well. Relying on the RNG gods to give you an ascended piece from a drop is futile, since it's not a 100% guarantee you'll get such a drop each time.
    I do complete the hearts for each map for the reason, you won't get map completion without those hearts being done. Hence 100% map completion won't happen. Getting into a good helpful guild is also a big plus. Hardstuck is a good one, right Teapot?! :P
    Best tip of all, never let the game "overwhelm" you and it will at times. Take a break, ask questions, learn and just enjoy the game. Cheers :)

For example, Power Soulbeast (a ranger elite specialization) is considered to be quite easy to learn, and Druid (another ranger espec) is considered to be both good and pretty easy to learn (although in raids you become the toolbelt/mechanic monkey player).

      do you know of any easy to learn Engineer builds? I picked Engineer cause it looked really cool with all the gadgets and stuff, and then found out that it's got a huge amount of different things it can do and it's kinda overwhelming

    This is, in fact, one of the best MMORPGs out there, specially to those who don't really have much time to play games anymore.
    I moved to GW2 because I was tired of playing ESO and with every patch I had to grind new gear to stay "up to date". GW2 does not have this pressure fortunately.

    Im still pretty new to the game (like a month and a half), i never knew you can test skill freely in the arena which is pretty neat, still looking for good rotation for my weaver and exotic build set.
    I have tried Fractal and its pretty nice even for LFG.
    I done the dungeon mostly three man with my friend but soonish maybe do an lfg.

  • @cattjenn
    @cattjenn ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome video! I have been playing for TEN YEARS and I'm still so clueless. I've opened all the maps and finished all the main expansions (except HoT because I just couldn't get into it until I had mounts). I really have a good time still, even though I'm not a badass. I do feel dumb though because I still know NOTHING about builds, I only play one character, and I don't know lingo. So when I ask for help or look up help in the sub-reddit, I can't even understand the advice or instructions. I got the big GW book but it came out before any expansion. It probably has a lot about builds and optimizing etc.
    Anyway, thank you for this video. I will be checking out more of your channel.

    Hi I know im late to this but I thought I'd add a tip for new players that is a god send when learning.
    when you get into game on first character, go into settings and hotkeys, find "Action camera toggle" and find a suitable bind (i use left alt next to spacebar but you do you). Ok so GW2 uses two styles for combat that you can change between freely, standard feels much more like a standard MMO with tab targeting while action camera turns your character with your mouse and sets your main action bar ability onto your mouse clicker too.
    Its arguably a lot smoother and easier to learn the game in action camera and learn to switch based on whats easier, I wish I had known about this option in the settings at the start as its really really handy

    The MOST IMPORTANT, recently added, and may require the latest expansion (not sure), is the Wizard's Vault. Currently, you can spend only 1800 points to get an Ascended Weapon + 3 pieces of Ascended Armor. SUPEREASY to get some of the best equipments in the game.
    Btw, though this is a great video, I don't agree with everything here. For example, I recommend to do the story lines as quickly as possible, since they unlock quite a lot of goodies or even essentials. And if you like the game, get all the expansions and Living Worlds asap.

    One of the things i find great about and sometimes but rarely enrages me is the fact that after years of playing you will still be able to find things you can do even in content you allready played through lots of time.
    The Treasure Hunter achievement being the one achievement that sometimes enrages me because the drop chance of most and particularly the most expensive items is very low... hence the value of such items like that one amulett or sam or rhendaks signet ring.
    That is why i do from time to time rewatch and search for tips and tricks or "new player" content as such we have here... because let's face it peepawz... you just need to go through all the crafting recipes to know you're in for a fun "learning" experience... not to mention all the mostly unknown mystic forge recipes... like the bulk of armor recipes many ... even vet players don't know about

    Buddy up with a guardian and keep beside them. Thatd the best advice I have. At low levels you will get knocked out of fights very quickly without them. Seek them out. Learn what they look like. They are your safety against boons.

    I'm a returning player(played at launch then left till a couple months ago) and this video was very helpful! Two things I still can't wrap my head around tho are 1. the absurd amount of items you get from login, quests, events and so on(a lot of those present stuff to choose from and I store them in the bank because I don't know which to pick atm and the bank is now full) 2. dungeons
    I'm levelling a toon from start despite having the insta 80 tomes, and I'm almost level 70, and while leveling I got the dungeons invitations in the mail as I was progressing but they say something confusing like that you first have to do them "In story mode"(how?) and then you can just do them again. I thought "in story mode" meant I could do them alone but even the first one, which was the Ascalonian Catacombs if I'm not mistaken, was too hard.
    Any suggestion about these two things?

    One thing that I've noticed was that the masteries needed to boost up your mount skills have been maxed out. I know for sure the last time I stopped playing I didn't unlock all of them. But once End of Dragons came out, suddenly I have all the abilities for all mounts and expansions.

    I have a 10 year old account but I have been playing on and off until like 2 years ago and decided to make the commintment to this game. I still play others obviously but this is my main game. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt that trying new things is the best tip you can do in Gw2. And especially when you try it you really try it not like a few hours and done you gotta do enough that you actually understand it. I make alot of leggies so I tthought that getting the gift of battle was a hassle and a waste of time but I ended up really liking WvW. I don't main it but I like playing it when I have to for something. Or better yet I just sometimes just go onto it just to get dailies and a few pips just to have them. Point is that when you try something it is gonna be a bit uncomfortable but that's ok and natural just don't let it affect the rest of your experience and always try new things.

    Don't ignore the hearts. 100%ing a zone gives you some valuable items. Sure, cosmetic, but transfiguration charges and getting 10 statuettes for a complete makeover ticket might be worth getting. And if you have any expansions, you can alt farm the starting city as soon as you load in. No hearts, just run around and collect all the points of interest and fast travel points.
