Guild Wars 2: An idea for a Tutorial Zone

In this particular post I would like to take the time and talk about how Arenanet could possibly add a tutorial zone to the game, where the goal is to not be overwhelming, but show enough that new players could understand the core mechanics of the game and very likely some other features.

I try to flesh this out as much as possible to explain how certain things could be taught or shown through this idea of a “tutorial zone” and will try to say as well why it should be the way I idealized them. I understand this idea is very ambiguous, obviously this is something that I wouldn’t expect to ever happen, since I believe it is a bit too much effort to do, just for the sole reason to teach/show new players very basic and core features of the game.

Guild Wars 2: The Casual, the Hardcore and the Elitist.

No, this unfortunately isn’t continuing with them going into a bar, but I would like to talk about these terms people lately been throwing around a lot!

GW2: A fun theory on the Mists and EoD

Well buckle up my peepos, because I’m about to bring you on a journey. Maybe not the best journey, maybe with some flaws and empty holes here and there, but ain’t theorizing fun this way?

Alright, almost 99% chance NONE of these will ever happen in the game, but I will present you all a fun lore theory and “connecting the dots together” style of idea regarding the Mists in the GW universe and a possible connection and perhaps a route or two that could give us some possibilities for…. future content after EoD? Mists expansion? Utopia 👀?

Stay and join me on this ride! For real, this ride is going to be a JOURNEY… I warned you!
