    As someone returning I find this video very difficult to follow, doesn't feel like the easy way, but maybe im missing something :/ I'm guessing this guide (and the required one before it) is only good for brand new players. I have full exotic, I have also finished EOTD, but I can't seem to do much of what you suggest in this video at the beginning, finding it frustrating.

    There’s something funny about suggesting doing raids, what I considered to be the hardest content of anything in Guild Wars 2, in order to get the gear so you’re more survivable and can hit harder, which would really help you out in those raids 😅

  • @jonathansoko1085
    @jonathansoko1085 Місяць тому

    I want to love guild wars but its "progression" system being how it is makes it so hard to care. I remember playing for 500 hours and i had the same gear. The best part was the group world content, not the dungeons or raids. I hated all of that, every bit of it but the open world was the only fun part. But even there, i put that many hours in and i dont remember any actual meaningful upgrades. I got 100000 currencies and zero satisfaction for any of it. WOW sucks today, hardbody but atleast upgrades and loot feels like loot and upgrades.

    Every time I come back to this game and try to play it seems ANET keeps adding more steps to obtain get one piece of ascended gear and I end up just stop playing..grinding for days and weeks is not enjoyable at all and ruins the game play for myself..and the fact that you must buy 75% of the living world seasons which also another reason most players quite..and the Raids-PvP-WvW-Fractals is the most toxic community I have ever seen on a game..

    Tyyyy SO much for this video. - I'm a Guild Wars 2 veteran (since launch and even as far back as playing GW1), and got into FFXIV about 7 months ago now. Adore both these games - Don't give a single shit about mechanics or min-maxing or whatever - Only care about story, aesthetic/appearance, and RP (just with my own character in the world, like having a headcanon. Not group RP). - Loved ARR in FFXIV and I do EVERY sidequest. Apparently, ARR is infamously considered 'slow' and/or 'mostly boring' or at the very best 'not the good stuff', but I adored it. And I don't care if I should 'only do the blue and main quests' and it's 'inefficient' to do every sidequest, I like to because that's fun for me. Plus clicking every npc for their tiny extra dialogue that no one ever sees but effort is put into anyways. AKA I include this point as I seem to be easily entertained/pleased. - I last played WoW over 10 years ago (played since it's inception before that). Don't really remember why I quit. I can't re-access that account (used to be shared with my sibling and I, it became all her basically after I lost interest). TLDR, I'd have to start completely anew. Dragonflight has gotten me interested in playing again, just for the character creator alone. I'd also love to revisit some starting zones like the Worgen, Demonhunters, Pandarians, and Goblins, even if I didn't level any such characters further beyond their initial leveling zones. But I just... COULDN'T for the LIFE of me tell if the cost would be worth it, especially as a GW2 veteran who LOATHES sub fees (yet ffxiv cracked me on that one obviously). Soooo many opinions about WoW are negative in one form or another, and often deeply so. Many are also into gearing and raiding and mechanics and whatever. Lots of their criticisms are about things/systems/aspects in WoW I could care less about. aka I'm super grateful for this vid. I think I will get it, even if I don't play for long. I'm the type of player who enjoys finding a nice tree or cliff in game and just sitting enjoying the view and music.

    If you show up to verdant brink at reset +5 monday, wednesday, or sunday night on NA, there will be an organized group running the meta. You can also get stat-selectable exotic gear for cheap if you run a tiny amount of WvW from the vendor TIED-07 Unified Vendor System. This vendor didn't exist when this video was made, and I would argue its far and away the easiest way after being rich.
