As someone who just doesn't function well with people, I've essentially locked myself to the open world aspect alone. I don't experience the game beyond that, no fractals, pvp, wvw, strikes and so on. Only the open fields alone, but the random small events and interactions with others. I still have a blast, even if I'm only experiencing a fraction of the game and am very limited. I love GW2.
Same. I love exploring the new places on the maps but I feel so lost or so alone sometimes. Only if there is a guild for people like us, just for the open world, jumping puzzles etc
@@daniellebreves9057 If you guys are still looking for a guild, come join us! We all just do our own thing and if we need help or are in the mood for a fractal or dungeon, we get together and do it. I'm like you guys though, I just go around doing open world stuff getting distracted constantly xD The amount of times my friend asked where I went only to find me in the next town over exploring the map doing open world events is too much to count. I play the game for fun, not for grinding better gear (That is fun sometimes) My guild is called Gangsta Gods [GG] and we only have 15 members but it's growing! I created it just last week when I got the game! Everyone feel free to add me! My account name is Zuhmaa but my main character is ZuhmyWuhmy not sure which name to put
I have been playing this game since it released, playing for a year and leaving for longer. Thank you for helping me understand all of the new mechanics and additions! Returning to my character at lvl 80 when there's a flood of new content is truly daunting.
Even tho I am already well well into the game, this video was so interesting to watch as someone with almost as much experience as you. It is so well edited and I love the memes at the start of the video :D It was so much fun to watch and also it's so nice to see, how you're able to link to your other videos and get the ultimate guide to any new players out there. :D Love it. All your work was worth it, it's amazing 🥰
As a new player your videos are so helpful! Very well edited and voiced too so thank you so much for all the time you put into your content :D this game is great, im absolutely hooked!
yeah the game might be great but the control lay out is the worse i have ever seen i don't know how people play it made it like level 7 and stopped it was just to much sure i could change everything to be more my style but it isn't worth it to me.
@userunknown1030 I fail to understand your point lol. Every mmo I've played has terrible keybinds that I always change. Gw2 is no different. Not a big deal lol.
@userunknown1030 I have played games that are much worse. There is a setting to change the camera to 'action camera' which made a huge difference for me. Never seen that in a mmo before and it works so well and is more immersive
@@TLODivineDragon yeah i don't know they have the worse one of them all and for some reason they didn't want to change for me i tired but it seem the game doesn't like to stay the way i put it lol. i don't no that was the least of its issue though. that is why i don't play it anymore.
The problem with the story is that new players have living world seasons locked away, even if they buy expansions. When I started playing I was really confused about the story filled with characters I don't know, bc everything was happening during a living world season...
@@Michael-hm8cs I hope anet adds living world story unlocks to the wizards vault for players who never got to play through them. Some of my favorite maps are from season 3. Plus that means more variety in wizards vault dailies and weeklies as well
@dorsalfin22 I agree that they must be better accessible, but I feel like they'd rather have them be purchasable, and that could be pretty redundant for players that already have that. The better solution would to make it cheaper on the Gem Store while also giving their bundle its own Steam page so Steam users can buy them separately from that pack
yeah. i needed this. i played wow for a long time and i just got into guild wars 2 and since this game doesn't really tell you where to go unlike wow where after hitting max level, you should do dungeons then raids or do pvp. I needed an idea on where to go next since this game is a horizontal progression system
Can't wait for the fractals video! I'm sort of a new player and I still never played lots of the activities you listed, but I want to start for sure with fractals! Keep up the well done and funny videos!
This is a really good video that clearly lays out your options past level 80. I have been playing GW2 since launch day. Play a bit, come back months later. Only the last year or so have I put a lot of hours into it thanks to finding some friends who also happened to play (and have a guild!). I'm doubting it, but i'm curious if you ever played GW1, if so, you should drop a video giving your 2 cents on what you thought of it. I have a bunch of GW2 gameplay on my channel and I would do some GW1, but in the winter area, when I go down and rez at a local shrine, it causes the game to crash to desktop. I see others with modern Nvidia videos cards on Reddit saying they are also having that problem, so ugh.
Nice vid 👍 Yeah my first instinct was to work on story and map completion. The story is pretty good if you have the patience to pay attention to it! I bought all the living worlds and expansions as online shop sales popped up. 😅
I just started to go in order, and have been enjoying the World Story quest things! I also did spend all of my money to get exotic gear for my build like RIGHT out of the gate.
I’m not even close to level 80 I’m a newer player lvl 32 watching these videos are giving me good tips since this is my first mmorpg type game I’m more of a cod gamer. I decided to download gw2 after watching your beginners guide since it looked like a dope game with amazing scenery and visuals
many thought head full 😂 but fr ty for this guide. Im gonna sub and check out those other vids bc im new and just hit 80. Now im like tf do i DO. This channel is gonna help tyty
This guide is very helpful. I started during wintersday so I barely did story as I've been sticking on karma and material then I got most achievements done and then I had to beat jorum the claw so I had to explore a bit to do it then I bounced to path of fire to work on mount mawteries and its a pain having to skip to get essential stuff I wish they would rework the original story n make mounts n other quality of life things available
Highly recommend toggling on the season of dragons achievements. It pretty much takes you through the living world seasons. It gives you a bunch of goodies, including a free precursor weapon and a legendary amulet at the end.
I find it hard to connect with people and joining a guild, always feels like everyone has their group and I’m butting in. It’s the only thing keeping me from playing the game actively again. As I played it since day 1 and I miss it.
There are a handful of guilds out there with really active communities and lots of chatter. I will say they're hard to find sometimes but if you hang out in the current hub (current the Wizards Tower) people will usually promote their guilds in map chat.
Sometimes writing down a few goals can help you feel grounded in what you are playing towards and help with not feeling overwhelmed! For example I always play through the story and 100% map completion of new zones, then level all masteries. Once I finished that I wanted to craft my first ascended piece and looked up how and did it! Now I'm exploring WvW for a piece of a legendary I'm working towards. This game is amazing
Awesome video as always, Lara. Fashion is good, but expert griffon flying stunts are the real endgame for me. The Griffon Academy guild does some insanely cool stuff with it. Highly recommend players check out their videos and the Acrobats of the Skies ones. Like most I first found it underwhelming, but when you get buttons set well and a feel for it, it's a massive game changer. Especially with a Skyscale and lvl 3 Jade Bot Gliding Booster for height gain anywhere, it's insanely satisfying to zoom at across landscapes you previously slogged through on foot, and organically pull off swerves cleanly between obstacles, threading through arches and gaps at breakneck speeds. Turns what you thought was just a good MMO into something like the Red Bull air race.
I also think you should make a legendary armor or weapon of your choice your goal. It leads you trough all aspects of the game and really feels like a journey
Amazing video. Imnew in the game, I left my world of warcraft, and guess what I found this games, and i love the levelling experience. I'm exited to still have this amazing experience after 80. Thank you again for this video. 😊
Hoor ik toevallig een nederlander? I used to play a bit of gw2 back around HOT, never really got into it but started fresh and am loving it! Still looking for some more indepth guides so i'll be sure to check your channel!

This was really helpfull, as someone whos returning to the game and hasnt played in 9 years this was actually really helpful and informative, thank you. How does one access the strike/raid things?
Like me im kinda new to gw2 and liking the story path so maybe it abit boring because the games have been out like 11 years, but as my frist 80 i did story in order to catch up and learning about the lore, i would recommending this. otherwise just watch some YT clips about summing the lore up lol and go like this in
for those wondering, it does not take 10+ years to get full legendary. my friend started playing when End of Dragons expansion released over a year ago and has 3 sets of armor, all trinkets, all runes and sigils, and a third of all gen 3 weapons. though hes a no lifer and an ex-WoW ranker...
Legendary is p2w in this game. If you have unlimited resources, you can buy raids for the armor as there are raid sellers allowed and people can also buy leg weapons gen1 and 3 in TP.
@@Soul_Wizard_Of_Lemuria to clarify your comment, you are doing the opposite of 'winning' if you pay for raid clears, even if you're rocking legendary gear but you die to mechanics or have shit dps, you are obvious to everyone around you for swiping. But I support people doing so because it funds the game I love without actually helping you 'win'. So swipe away!
this game is great.. i have been level 80 for 2 years now,, 1st year i did nothing but open world content.. got 100% map complete got all my mounts ( except turtle...need a strike mission ) ,,, 2nd year i lived in WVW and love it,,,, got full leggy gear from the pure volume of play time in there and now beginning my 3rd year and just began running dungeons,.. I have still never entered a fractal raid or pvp area... I only play on my reaper too No alts yet other than for storage space ... i love how i can ignore a part of the game until it interests me and all my gear and skills are still relevant.... the best part is I love my reaper... i don't care if harbinger has higher dps .. i don't care if thief is better.. I love my reaper..
Just started playing a few weeks ago. Leveling throught the story is miserable. I highly suggest level boosting, go to POF get Raptor, Springer, Skimmer. Get springer and raptor to level 3. Then get a glider. Once i did that, i went back to a level 1 charscter and having all of those made it way more enjoyable.
New player here, been 100% completing every new area I go into while I do the story quests, is this a good idea? I'm currently level 61 and up to the story in Divinity's Reach
@@Daz377 Thanks for the info! Level 80 now, 42% world completion. Just max out all core specs and will be putting points into berserker now, how do I go about starting a legendary? Also, how long do the other mounts take to get? I still only have raptor.
@@callmemc6 You get the Springer and Skimmer by just playing the Path of Fire story. The other mounts - Jackal, Griffon, Beetle and Skyscale - are optional. And if you are into World vs World, there's also the WvW mount Warclaw. Jackal can just be bought. For Griffon you need to do some collections and achievments in PoF and also spend around 250 Gold. For Beetle and Skyscale you need to have Living World Season 4. Beetle is a small collection / achievments. And Skyscale is a huge and long collection. Although with the next expansion there will be another easier way to get the Skyscale. So you could wait for that if you don't want the long grind.
I often wondered why no new "traditional dungeons" are made any more, and I think I've figured it out: GW2 dungeons have a "story" mode and an "explorable" mode. Explorable has 3 paths, but to unlock it is necessary to do the story mode first. The problem is, when doing story mode dungeons with a random group of people, those players who watch the cutscenes Always fall behind those who skip them! The advantage of fractals is the absence of cutscenes or story, making it easier to keep even a random group together, as well as making them infinitely replayable.
New player here. I haven't bought any expansions yet as I did want to invest money in a game I didn't know I was going to like. I reached lv80 in literally 2 days, with 0 idea of what to do, where to go, how to group, how to craft and all the other features in the game. The game has too many currencies and all these niche areas and does a really terrible job at teaching you the game. I tried to look for some videos and clicked this one, as extensive as it is, I'm just as confused as I started.
I came back to GW2 after... 10 years :D And I don't know about mounts. I mean, I beat the main story. So I can't really go unlock gliding or especially dragon right away, cause I have Living Story to play, then I will to to HoT for gliding, then other LS, then PoF... etc. Or should I just skip at least the first LS seasons between base game and HoT?
Nothing more to do now got to end game got legendary all but all left just grind Raid strike fractal very dry wvw over spent time for break come back 1 year 😅
So if I can't buy dlc's I can't do half of what you said well I know 30$ cheap but in my country 30$ means 4 months of work and not spending a thing even on food😅
Scuse me, can I ask what that cosmetic is in 18:24? The one with the witch hat and stuff. My witch character could use a fashion update from the (still pretty cool) halloween outfit.
Do we know if there's going to be a Steam Release Anniversary sale? I'm really looking forward to buying the full game but not willing to spend over $130+.
It's almost a shame that there making the Skyscale easy to obtain in SOTO, after all time and effort put into raising your skyscale from an egg to a fullblown dragon it really makes you feel attached to it and it's a shame new players won't know that feeling.
they still need to if they want to unlock rift repair, and get upgraded air launch and wall launch rift repair is exist across tyria, and give path to fly with skyscale
Profile picture checks out with the comment: journey before destination. But yeah it's not going away so people can still raise their skyscale if they want to!
What is the best path once you reach 80 and then go directly into Secrets of the Obscure without any flying mount, jade bot, and most importantly any Elite skill at all with 0 points left to spend?
I Thought most popular end game content was fashion war
The secret is that every game mode (raids, fracs, pvp, WvW, open world, AP hunting) is actually fashion wars. 😂
same im grinding for fashion xD
@@sham4124 i Thought so
Obviously its roller beetle racing
After I got my first zenith skin, I knew I would never use anything else for a long time.
As someone who just doesn't function well with people, I've essentially locked myself to the open world aspect alone. I don't experience the game beyond that, no fractals, pvp, wvw, strikes and so on. Only the open fields alone, but the random small events and interactions with others. I still have a blast, even if I'm only experiencing a fraction of the game and am very limited. I love GW2.
Im the same way, i spec my characters for solo pve and roam around doing bounties and stuff on my own

For Beetle and Skyscale you need to have Living World Season 4. Beetle is a small collection / achievments. And Skyscale is a huge and long collection. Although with the next expansion there will be another easier way to get the Skyscale. So you could wait for that if you don't want the long grind.
The glider is gonna be fantastic. I find myself jumping off ledges just so they don't have to go around.
What a great video Laranity.
very helpful. thank you!
WVW team chat is the true end game content
I collected scales, got the medicines and collected eggs for a skyscale... only to run into the paywall of LW season 4...
Ima be linking this to new players when they ask what's even in the game at 2AM in LA :3
what do you do after you finish story and are geared up but don't pvp, wvw, dungeons, raids or anything like that? Just make alts?
You can actually buy hero points in WVW for those that lazy run around map.
I always say this to whoever asks me this question.
Play whatever game mode to grind yourself to lvl 81 ;)
Video starts: 0:57
Great video, thanx. Its really great game
p.s. loving carot on the stick🥕
So helpful thank u!
I often wondered why no new "traditional dungeons" are made any more, and I think I've figured it out:
GW2 dungeons have a "story" mode and an "explorable" mode. Explorable has 3 paths, but to unlock it is necessary to do the story mode first. The problem is, when doing story mode dungeons with a random group of people, those players who watch the cutscenes Always fall behind those who skip them! The advantage of fractals is the absence of cutscenes or story, making it easier to keep even a random group together, as well as making them infinitely replayable.
to unlock all elite specialization, i have to buy each expansion of gw2?
The HOT hero point challenges gives me nightmares...
Is there any advantage buying the Complete Edition before reaching Lvl 80?
"There is some true strategy needed in PvP..." and shows a clip of necro just spitting out condis XD
"There is nothing to do in Guild Wars 2's endgame."
make a video telling what to do after having all the legendaries for all classes please
New player here. I haven't bought any expansions yet as I did want to invest money in a game I didn't know I was going to like. I reached lv80 in literally 2 days, with 0 idea of what to do, where to go, how to group, how to craft and all the other features in the game. The game has too many currencies and all these niche areas and does a really terrible job at teaching you the game. I tried to look for some videos and clicked this one, as extensive as it is, I'm just as confused as I started.
Happy voice and really nice videos. ThX
0:09 what’s guild war stew? Sounds good
I came back to GW2 after... 10 years :D And I don't know about mounts. I mean, I beat the main story. So I can't really go unlock gliding or especially dragon right away, cause I have Living Story to play, then I will to to HoT for gliding, then other LS, then PoF... etc.
Or should I just skip at least the first LS seasons between base game and HoT?
for those using this video after Janthir Wilds, anything major change here?
Nothing more to do now got to end game got legendary all but all left just grind Raid strike fractal very dry wvw over spent time for break come back 1 year 😅
u should make a video abt the races
Nice video thank you
So if I can't buy dlc's I can't do half of what you said well I know 30$ cheap but in my country 30$ means 4 months of work and not spending a thing even on food😅
This Video is just Amazing !!!!❤️👍
And you can always collect collections and achieve achievements. I promise those will last you for few years!
Is it worth crafting ascended if you want celestial gear?
Created. A guild warsplay list this is the first
very well made video
Nice video!!!
Scuse me, can I ask what that cosmetic is in 18:24? The one with the witch hat and stuff. My witch character could use a fashion update from the (still pretty cool) halloween outfit.
it was from pre ordering Soto, i sadly dont know how and if its still available :/
@@themaniac8596 Awww. Doubt it's still available if it's a pre order bonus. Guess I completely missed that one.
@@themaniac8596 Oh um, I'd like to know what it's called at least. Maybe I can look it up on the wiki
This video is just the Thesaurus of Laranity videos
i love ur asura that looks like you :D its so cute
How do Raids in GW2 compare to Mythic in WoW or Savage in FFXIV?
Do we know if there's going to be a Steam Release Anniversary sale? I'm really looking forward to buying the full game but not willing to spend over $130+.
is the story just the hearts around the map that are like mini objectives? if not where do i start the main quest
It's almost a shame that there making the Skyscale easy to obtain in SOTO, after all time and effort put into raising your skyscale from an egg to a fullblown dragon it really makes you feel attached to it and it's a shame new players won't know that feeling.
they still need to if they want to unlock rift repair, and get upgraded air launch and wall launch
rift repair is exist across tyria, and give path to fly with skyscale
Even though they are making it easier to get in the new expansion, can you still just work to get it the harder original way?
Profile picture checks out with the comment: journey before destination. But yeah it's not going away so people can still raise their skyscale if they want to!
@@tommytx3769 awesome thanks so much!!
I'm doing it without SOTO first. I want my baby...
I friggen love your accent.
What is the best path once you reach 80 and then go directly into Secrets of the Obscure without any flying mount, jade bot, and most importantly any Elite skill at all with 0 points left to spend?
