I’ve dabbled in Guild Wars 2 before, racking up around 100-200 hours but always going on and off. I’m really itching for an MMO that I can truly get into. I’ve tried a bunch like ESO, FFXIV, New World, T&L, and BDO, but nothing really sticks. From my experience, GW2 had the most to offer, but I became overwhelmed with the mechanics and jumped into things before I was ready, which ultimately made me lose interest. This time around, I’m planning to take it slower. What tips do you have for easing into the game?

When you say you jumped into content without learning, do you mean you felt you weren’t performing well? What kind of content was giving you trouble? The game lets you build your character in a way that’s unique, but if you’re unfamiliar with the systems, it can lead to confusion. Letting the community know what specifically you’re struggling with can lead to helpful tips!
Looking for a forever MMO might be tough, but I get it. GW2 has its quirks, and it doesn’t hold your hand too much. I suggest you read up on the wiki and feel free to ask questions—people are usually helpful! For starting out, focus on hitting level 80, unlocking elite specs, and completing map hero points. The expansions really ramp up the game, so try to dive into those once you’re ready!
GW2 really shines in its endgame content. A good approach is to focus on leveling one character consistently while you speed run others. Also, check out some quick tutorials online—they’re super helpful!
Thanks for the guidance! I guess I should definitely check the wiki more. Appreciate the tips!
