This game is criminally underrated and even mocked for no reason, it has flaws but they aren't undermining the jewels it holds in terms of positives. It is convoluted at times, for newcomers, but with a little adjusting (which is mostly tied to time played) it becomes enjoyable and seamless soon enough.

The walking animation to start with to the straying around not having a clear path is kinda a "never gonna try" feeling for me.

Now imagine if GW2 had actual endgame PvE and PvP, then it would be a criminally underrated mmo instead of a criminally underrated single player game with mmo elements.🤔 truth hurts but someone got to say it.

I love this game, 6 months In and still discovering new things. The vanilla zones has some sick hidden stuff throught them. Combat feels on point, lore is solid, group play is epic. Can't wait to see how your journey goes, hope you meet good people to play with in game.

criminally underrated game, best part is you can park it and come back 1-2-3 years later and all your progress and gear is still relevant with the horizontal progression, wvwvw is very fun too

I was introduced to this game by my sister who showed me the ropes and was watching me play my first few days. I'm lucky for that, but sometimes I wish I experienced this game for the first time by just figuring things out myself. I had only been playing for a few weeks when my birthday came around and I had asked my mom for the expansions for my birthday. The expansions are great, and I highly recommend them.

I brought my little brother to the game too! Except since I’m not at home he gets to have fun alone without me backseating

I’m glad you decided to try GW2 out and enjoyed it :) Tyria is a great place to adventure and have fun! I think you were confused because of a few reasons; 1 being that you didn’t seem to read what each ability does other than your first ability (maybe you did but just didn’t put it in the video). Reading the abilities will really help you understand what each ability does and how it works. 2 is that you ended up playing as a Mesmer, which is one of GW2s more difficult classes to understand. They are illusion based, and their primary class focus are creating clones and phantasms of themselves to trick enemies. Not a very beginner friendly class imo. I hope you continue, as I would love to watch more videos from you on your time in GW2. Keep it up, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Us veteran players are always more than willing to lend a helping hand.

Best MMO games so far...you never alone in this game because there is always other player in your map, unlike other MMO that looks dead after a few years. Good art, storyline and mapping too...worth every penny

Couple of things... Mesmer is a complicated profession that is built mainly on summoning illusions and clones and then using your F1-F4 abilities to cause your clones to do different things. Outside of that, you found out that your profession has abilities (utilities - 6-10) and your weapons (7:36) have abilities (1-5) and you can weapon swap and you also have two-handed, one-handed and offhand weapons. Not every weapon is available to every profession. Let that sink in for a second. No two mesmers will play the same as you can truly customize your playstyle depending on what you enjoy to use and play. Mesmers also have a lot of portals that can teleport you and allies through gates that you place which is why a lot of parties or squads will like to have a mesmer. 4:09 - You mentioned the cutscenes tied to the personal story missions. These are a little different than quests which are the hearts you found on the map. These cutscenes get significantly better in the game in the later expansions. They no longer use the awkward your character on one side and the other NPC on the other side but you still get voice acting throughout the entire game which is truly impressive. You saw mounts a little bit (12:50) and the reason the permanent unlock is behind a pay wall is because mounts weren't released until 2nd expansion called Path of Fire. So if you like mounts, you can unlock the majority of all of them by purchasing this expansion and doing the story missions and collections to unlock them. In this expansion you can unlock 6 various mounts (Raptor, Springer, Skimmer, Jackal, Griffon, and Warclaw - WvW mount) plus 1 more mount that is hidden in the Living World Season 4 called the Skyscale (personal hovering dragon/wyvern mount). Other expansions: Heart of Thorns (1st expansion) unlocks your glider... Good for jumping off high places and not immediately dying from fall damage and the 9th class - the Revenant. End of Dragons (3rd expansion) unlocks fishing, the siege turtle (2 people can use this mount), jade bot, and the skiff (aka boat - multiple people can party up and use the same boat). EVERY EXPANSION gives you new ways to customize your profession called elite specializations so you can think of it as 9 new class archetypes (D&D language). If you want every expansion then I would suggest Collection Standard Edition of the game for roughly $50 USD/50 euros/44 pounds. There is one additional purchase you may want to make depending if you like the story in the game. Expansions take some time to build IRL so between them, there were times that the company released mid-season story patches basically called Living World Seasons. Living World Season 1 is free. If you were playing the game when the other seasons were released, you got the episodes for free but in your case, the others cost in-game currency called Gems. There is currently LWS 2 (1280 gems), 3 (960 gems), 4 (960 gems), and Icebrood Saga (or IBS - again, 960 gems). To summarize, if you want all of the story from the base game and all the expansions then the game is basically $50 and the rest of the story is 3840 gems which you can buy 4000 gems for $50 USD. In the future, log in while the living world season content is being released and you don't need to pay for them at all. You didn't really explore: - crafting system - specializations - Hero Points (you saw it a little with all the abilities you found by doing PvP - 14:30) Your approach of learning the profession without jumping into the deep of the pool with hundreds of abilities is the BEST way to learn a new one instead of using a level 80 boost. The only reason I would use a Level 80 boost to start the game is if you wanted to start playing and learning the game in Cantha (End of Dragons) instead of in core Tyria. The best part of the game is the community which typically is very helpful to new players (sometimes even TOO helpful) but I have found that they are willing to send items or answer questions without really any issue.

Props to you on giving GW2 a shot. Been playing on and off since launch and loving every second of it. Always loved the lack of gear grind and monthly sub so I could take a break when needed and not feel like I was missing out.

The amount of players in every area is amazing. Ive seen so many Max level map level 200+ players in the starting area grinding map competition or nodes and it's awesome to see. Some of them look kitted right out and it gives me something to look forward too

14:45 Yes you can pvp from the start and it's all equalised gear wise.

Horizontal progression is a game changer for me. I absolutely love everything about GW2, the only issue is that you need a very powerful PC (mainly the CPU and RAM) to not have the framerate drop to unplayable levels when there are a lot of players on the screen.

Welcome to the game Guzu, I have played on and off since release (mostly PvP) but have no returned and started on unlocking all the mounts and some legendary gear, it's been a blast. Did some strike missions for the first time today, so many elements of the game I still haven't touched! Mesmer has always been my main, it is quite hard too learn but is such a unique and enjoyable class when you start to understand it.

7:40 Weapons are basically like different talent specs in WoW. They make it so you can many subclasses and switch at will. So each weapon is basically a different subclass with its own playstyle. It's one of the best part about GW2. Also you are meant to always have 2 equipped and switch between them during combat as needed.

After gaining enough "experience" you would then unlock #2 so on and so forth until you max out the weapon and have access to all of its skills.

You went in with the WoW mindset. I did in 2012. Then again when I tried again in 2015... 2017... took a very long time to throw out the WoW mindset entirely, long after I had quit WoW. GW2 pretty great now. You have to COMPLETELY forget/unlearn the loop of WoW and suddenly you can enjoy GW2.

Just streamed this game the other night with a friend and I gotta say, it's amazing. Wait till you try World VS World mode tho...

Welcome glad you had fun. :)

I talked myself into buying the game(expansions) on Christmas because I was bored and just done with WoW and the other MMOs. I didn't expect much tbh. I figured a couple days and I'd be done, but I was bored and needed something to play for a couple days. I had tried it back in 2013 and lasted all of a week I think. Maybe less. I was so pleasantly surprised. A bit shocked tbh. It's everything I've been looking for in a MMO recently and I'm now mad at myself for ignoring it for so long lol. I can't get off the game after a week now. I haven't even used my 80 boost yet either. I started a Mesmer as well. Great class. Probably won't be my main as I've heard it's not that great in PvP, but it's a ton of fun in PvE. I so love the ability to switch weapons in combat. Also REALLY love how you can go to lower level areas and the game scales you down and you still get full XP credit just as if you were in a high level area. Lowbies get to see high level guys running around doing quests right beside them. It's great! You don't have to miss 90% of the story when you do a boost to 80! You can go back to those noob zones, do the quests and get full credit to level your end game stuff. I really want to kiss whoever came up with that lol.

I thought mesmers were good in PvP, but maybe that's new from the recent changes. I just started playing again, so I'm not sure tbh. Leveled up a thief (first character) to 80 a couple days ago finally, after having the game for over a decade. Lol. I played gw1 a lot, and got gw2 a handful of months after release but didn't play it much because I basically stopped playing all games for a long time once I started hitchhiking. At first, I was turned off by gw2 at release, because it was so different than gw1. But now that I tried again with no expectations, I'm hooked. I really hope they add some more PvP modes, particularly modes that were in gw1. I feel like that's easier to do than releasing whole expansions, so it's weird to me that they haven't yet. 🤞

SO glad some WoW lifers are trying GW2. It's my favorite MMO PvP. I love how you can just jump in on a fresh character and play. Got to Dragon Rank with a level 5 lmao.

I love caster in this game mainly because you can move around and cast at the same time

GW2 it's the first MMO that i haven't stoped playing after the first day, i started to play a week ago and this one it's fun, maybe it's because it's my "first" but the questing was really smooth to me, i didn't struggle with it at all, it's pretty well design and easy to follow along, the weapons system it's really fun to mess with, from weapon combinations to the weapon skills themselves. The story is entertaining at the least and i'm hoping for it to be good. For someone like me that have basically never played other MMOs, i think this one it's a good entry point to the genre, having nothing to compare it with makes it feel like a new and refreshing journey from all the other games/generes i've played before, from Competitive shooters to Open world single players.

In the upcoming Winter Steam sale, I'm planning to buy the xpacs for the game, if the sales are max 40 euro for all three. I was looking at FF14, but I can't pay monthly sub. I'm possibly gonna play GW2 until Riot's MMO is released. Thanks for the video! Edit 24.12.2022: After getting the 3 xpacks for GW2 (almost 39 euros for all 3) , I'm having a blast! Time just flies while I just explore the map and doing my things. I will try PvP once I got confortable enough with the game's mechanics and stuff. The sale is up until 5th Jan, so if you can buy one or all of them. It's one time buy to play without any sub fees or p2w shit (Looking at you BDO.)

Coming from WOW? Welcome to a real game

Ive played gw2 since launch, and mesmer is confusing as hell.

ranger is easiest class to get into when starting out

If you think classic or retail wow is high octane pvp, GW2 is that times 10. In WoW there are few classes that can do long 1v1s, in GW2 I've gotten into 1v1s that last 10mins, from heavy armor to light armor classes.

I think choosing mesmer as first character is main problem here. I think that class has one of the most complex gameplay.

It's the best mmorpg there is now

Haha Mesmer is not the easiest class to wrap your head around. Great intro to GW2

Amazing mmorpg its a shame the base game starting areas seems very dated compared to the expansions, They are supposed to be working on another expansion but for for a free game without expansions is actually very good compared to other games on the market that claim they are free.

13:52 Not sure if you have tried the Dracthyr in wow, I believe some abilities of Dracthyr are from these GW2 mounts Dracthyr's tail swipe, from Rapter Dracthyr's super jump, from Springer Dracthyr's hover, from skimmer... well... maybe it doesn't count since they have other class can hover lol Drachyr flying(? lol seems the same thing as dragon riding), from Griffon+skyscale

idk to me is flat untill you get mounts, i play some class that i go in main story to some city to kill some thief guy quest was bugged as hell some mobs attack me and main enemy is not there at all where is quest show up i needed 30 minutes to find that bugged npc in some wall out side of building.

And compared to FF14 it has magnitudes less visual noise, which is really important in World-vs-World (which no MMO delivered at such a large-scale with such playable performance, at least for my PC...). At max level, the "floatiness" disappears and it is replaced by the most fast-paced reactive combat with Dodges,Blocks,Evades,Counters,Absorbs,Reflects,Dashes,Teleports i've ever experienced.

I have such a love/hate relationship with GW2, ultimately, the good outweighs the bad for me so I still play a lot but the game has a lot of frustrating things that for some reason, some players just ognore or pretend aren't a thing. I gave the biggest side eye after some players came to FF14 from GW2 that had complained about too much visual effects until they learned they could turn off other player effects and just keep the essentials, then I came to GW2 and did a boss with a couple friends and we were completely confused because you couldn't see anything, the game turned into a stuttering mess, you literally could not see the boss attacks, adds, nothing, it was just a million effects and like 40 Mechanist golems. I still like the game a lot but it has a lot of things like that which make it very frustrating to do certain content.

You sure do get confused easily......

The review is good but You talk too much 😂, makes people wanna jump middle of a highway

I tried, but the 2006 graphics throws me away. Can't watch this, my eyes are burning from GW2....

The game is super fun when you lvl up.Then you hit max lvl and has nothing to do since there is no hunt for best gear.I stopped playing because i found it extremely boring.Nothing compares with WoW and FFXIV.

There's a shit ton to do, the game just doesn't force you to do it like it would with a gear treadmill. There's dungeons, fractals, strikes, raids, PvP, WvW, open world maps and metas, bounties, etc. By the time you hit max level you've only gone through at most a third of the game's open world zones and maybe 10-15% of the game's story, and haven't even touched the game's endgame content and systems.

Why do you need to get gear in order to play?

Forcing players to have to keep getting better gear to keep people interested seems like a lazy and cheap game mechanic cheat. Any game can do that. I'd personally much rather a game that focuses on you growing as a player and to play better and have to change ways of playing, to get through areas. The combat, story, world, mounts with special abilities, etc are much more entertaining to explore and unlock than just some gear with a higher number stat on it needing to get over and over to be able to get further. Also, if you said you found the game boring once you hit max level, then you really just don't care about anything other than numbers getting bigger, because that's when the game becomes much more fun. Unlocking all the skill trees, mounts, gear, titles, masteries, etc

Another boy with Female character.. .

MAN, THIS IS SOME OLD DEPRESSING BS... WHY NOT JUST REGRESS TO EVERQUEST... THE ORIGINAL...LOL.

I ve been playing ir for years, but the only thing i really dislike is the timegated grind and approach to raids, its like not fun because its a giant target dummy with occasional mechs, its fun up untill 1-4, after that the 5-7 is high diff low reward raids, like for what are we fighting for, tokens of graditude? And the new strikes....i mean.....yeah nah
