    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

      I just started the game this week and I am loving doing the hearts - and just hitting events as I am running through. I love that the tasks to fill the hearts aren't just...go here, talk to this person, run back and talk to this other person - back and forth.

    • @Anolaana
      @Anolaana 5 днів тому

      I would agree if hearts were account-wide, and maybe you can transfer those completion mats or something. But I agree with Teapot that I wouldn't go full tilt into obsessing over them. Not unless that's your jam or you know you'll be there for the long run in over a month. The implied hint is that it'd be too easy to burn out otherwise.

    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.

    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
      @epto Рік тому

      ​@@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 ;)

    GW2 is a truly great experience. You can really play the game any way you want. Just walk around a zone and an event will *literally* fall into your lap and you can do it, then get an upgrade out of it. Totally organically. So much fun.

  • @ChrisH78
    @ChrisH78 Рік тому +206

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @ThiVasss

    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 Рік тому

      honestly, both of these tips could be applied to anny mmo.. people are really bad about not actually reading skill tooltips in pretty much any mmo imo. and if you dont understand basic attributes.... then its pretty much garanteed youre going to suck ass..

  • @attinger117
    @attinger117 Рік тому +7

    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.

    If you don't care about the specifics and want to learn general roles (boon dps, healers, pure DPS), it might help to ask around for easier high end builds. 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).

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @firstswordcorvus7368

    I'm new to the game and it's honestly faster to ask "please res" cause I don't have a mount and world bosses are always dead before I can reach them from the waypoint. Had a temporary mount, but I've already lost it. As far as making money, at level 30 something I've already vendored my gear. I need a trading post guide cause I find it confusing to navigate. I know I've been struggling to stick to the game cause people aren't really helpful, at least in my experience everyone just bullshits around in the chat. Only help I've gotten was one person helping me understand how to improve the performance from my PC and I'm thankful for that, but most of the time I'm ignored. Granted I don't talk much when I'm just trying to experience the msq (main story quests) and I was doing the heart rep quests cause they give good XP and it's the only thing I know to do to level up for the next main story. I'm used to FFXIV where there's a main story quest every single level, so admittedly I'm very lost in GW2 and I just do whatever I can find to level up. So far the biggest struggle is that I need a permanent mount and idk how to get one and idk how the trading post works because the UI for it is a confusing mess

    My main problem with leaving gw2 about 4 times already it's because I have no idea what to do next.

People in chat usually answer memes and don't help much, probably thinking I'm trolling or something, while I'm just clearly confused about what I should do to progress in pve.

    • @jcm2606

      If you're interested in doing fractals then this guide should help: docs.google.com/document/d/16bt-vFeeLAeEsaoz72bkc4ZODsudIQ2hiQdvSnFYLtw/edit It's quite outdated so build information won't be quite up to date, but anything about fractals themselves should still be good. Dungeons, raids and strikes are a bit trickier to learn since they're a lot more free-form, so it'd probably be best to just do some research on what you can get from each dungeon/raid/strike and maybe join an endgame community/guild that focuses on running that sort of content. Best advice I can give you though would be to just keep doing _something_ each time you log in. _Everything_ in GW2 will progress your account in some way, whether it be endgame content, open world PvE, PvP, WvW, crafting, fishing, or even achievements. You have numerous ways to earn exotic and ascended gear, and there's a few different ways to get legendary gear (at least armour and weapons) that you can really just do whatever.

I went through two playthroughs, a sylvari guardian playing the long way from 1-80 and then Filiman Tarlock for Path Of Fire. Ive since remapped and its hard to develop new reflexes and muscle memory when you spent like 30+ hours in default controls.
