Tips for a first time players

Here I have some advices , that new players of GW2 can use to play better and enjoy the game in full.
Some of them are crucial in order to play the game more smoothly and to have more fun with this amazing production. The list below will be updated from time to time.

So here we go:

1. Do not be afraid to experiment with Your skills and weapons sets. The game gives You large amount of weapons, gears , skills, and traits, that You can change any time and then change back to what it was if You are dissatisfied. Try to find the set that You feel most comfortable with, and that makes Your character powerful and fun to play.
2. Learn to dodge and to evade as soon as possible. This is crucial if You want to win a fight against stronger foe. At the beginning of the game Your enemies are weak and their abilities are not that dangerous, but as soon as You progress You will find Yourself in a larger and more dangerous battles. Dodging and evading attacks can be very helpful to get out of the fight alive.
3. Do not give up on Guild Wars 2 too quickly! The game may seem a bit boring at the beginning sometimes. There is always a lot to do, but Your character's abilities might be weak and boring , You will have small amount of skills to choose from and this feeling of boredom can appear. Believe me, this is only temporary experience - as soon as Your character gets to higher level , the things will  start to change. More to do, more to discover, more to fight for, more skills , more traits, more weapons and gears to choose from. For me the real fun starts usually around level 40.
4. Keep Your inventory clean and tidy all the time. There is tremendous amount of items and loot that You can find while playing. Arena Net (game developers) failed a bit to give as a proper inventory system and all You can do is: Buy more and more additional bags to Your inventory to have more space; Keep only useful items in there; Use "Deposit material" option to send materials that You have found strait to Your bank (if you already have one) at any time; Unpack all the loot bags that You have as soon as possible - maybe there is nothing interesting inside.
5. Buy Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire expansions if You can afford it. It is definitely worth its money. Playing a free version of Guild Wars 2 can be fun as well, but HoT and PoF gives You many additional things to do, additional territory to explore, masteries to unlock, and most importantly - a possibility to use a service of "Black Lion Trading Company". This is a huge and useful trading system. You can use it to trade in a very comfortable way with other players in the game, or simply to buy some extra goods for the real money. Be aware that the things that You can buy for real money are not giving You any advantage against other players or foes. Those things usually gives You wider possibility to make Your character more unique , and that is all.
6. Take part in the events that can occur during Your journey. By joining them You will get more experience and Your character will level up MUCH quicker. Killing mobs and foes gives you just a little amount of XP , so Your character level goes up slow.

12. ENJOY THE GAME SLOWLY! DO NOT RUSH FORWARD TO LVL 80 !
