torakun.9638 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I also struggled to level anymore.. the only difference was that I am a returning player. So I kind of know most of the stuffs already. I ended up using the lvl 80 boost of mine but no regret so far. Good luck btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spades.9813 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don't know about you and how much you play daily, but I got to level 80 in about a week worth of total time. With my other MMOs this wouldn't have ever been possible before the 1 month mark. So I actually think there was 0 grind to this game to reach level 80, mostly cause you level up so much doing the personal story as well and that was definitely fun for me.

Stacking Xp buffs while you play really helps with leveling. +15% Glazed Peach tart (3 copper) +10% Any utility item (minor potions of X slaying are <5 copper on TP) +10% guild XP buff +10% Banner (If you can find one) If you have an XP or heroic booster to spare, you can get another 50% on top of that. If you're a returning player you can go still faster yet with a birthday booster giving you an extra 100% xp gain. Just make sure you're doing some kind of group content with lots of enemies to tag and the XP will roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sorry I bought this game. Sorry to hear but if some forum drama is enough to turn you away then no one of us will be able to change your mind. That said as a mid 30 year old player having gone through games as DAoC, WoW, Warhammer Online and Eve Online I can safely say that GW2 has by far the friendliest community. Good luck with your next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides that thanks to gliders and mounts there are a lot more mobs out there giving triple and quadruple bonus xp when killed. Leveling in the open world nowadays actually is much faster than it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sorry I bought this game. So what you're saying is you want to play a game that's like every other game? Because that makes very little sense to me. I'm here mostly because I find other games to be on rails and Guild Wars 2 is quite refreshing. Still, good luck on your search for another game that's just like other games you've played. As for the alt-right comment, my experience has been quite the opposite, but you know, it's quite funny that people will draw that conclusion from a few loud voices.

Biff.5312 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You can't be serious. Levelling in this game is unbelievably fast. In fact, in order to stay in level-appropriate content you have to consciously decide to skip 80% of the content along the way. This attitude that games should just give you a top-level, fully-geared toon at the outset is preposterous. If you don't like levelling, you don't like the game. Don't play it.

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Great responses, but I wanted to add this: there is no rush. Unlike other MMOs, the content isn't going to be outdated, you won't miss out on something because you aren't high enough a level, and the game doesn't 'begin' at LV80. I know everyone wants to get to max level, makes sense, but for this game, you don't have to, so enjoy the ride! Some ideas: - Take time to do map completion while you level up to unlock the next chapter in your personal story. - Gather as much as you can, so when you decide to start crafting, you won't be short on mats. You can also try to craft as you go, and earn some XP at the same time. - Participate in Metas and World Bosses in the zone you're in. Remember if you're in a LV 20 zone, everything in that zone is the same level, including max level characters (they get downleveled...is that a word?) A world boss like Shadow Behemoth ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadow_Behemoth) is only LV 15, so jump in and have fun. Once you get to Max level and have access to Path of Fire (expansion #2), most players will do the 1st quest of that expansion to earn the Raptor mount, which unlocks account wide, and makes leveling a lot faster. Until then, take time to stop and pet the Quaggan. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Pixie.8603 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 You are mistaken on the AltRight following. If you’re refering to the twitter drama, Ms Price didn’t get the trolls on her back until after she shared the drama to her 10k followers and other, non GW2 reddit subs got involved. Check the GW2 subreddit and the forums to get an actual idea for our population before judging us please. news media has a vested interest in drama to drive clicks.

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I hardly find a couple of days to one week a long time to level. It usually takes that long to level. It's rather fast compared to the MMOs I played. Oh and about this alt-right comment. What? GW2 community is the complete opposite of this. And I read only helpful comments here.

Game of Bones.8975 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I use crafting as a quick way to level a new character. I tend to salvage and farm everywhere I go, so mats are not a problem. I'm able to refine stacks of mats so I don't end up with tons of armor and weapons, but I do sell many of them in the TP. Artificer and Cooking are two of the easiest.

Kyochi.1895 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 My advice: If you own PoF expansion and you don't mind minor spoilers I advise you to boost 1 character to lvl80 and do 1st story quest of Path of Fire cuase it will unlock a wide account accsess to raptor mount for all your toons. This should make game and exploring way more fluid while leveling your main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryou.2398 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 What??? Did did you just say you think leveling is to slow in the core game? Im so sorry but im laughing at this lol! I mean really dude? Never played an mmorpg before or something? The core leveling experience is way faster then most single player rpgs.... And do events if its boring, do not do the hearts.

Zawn.9647 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I think the problem is that it FEELS slow - now that it is slow itself... New players just get lost between hearts, vistas, dungeons, hero points... Instead of the traditional quest mark thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
