Hi guys,

Thinking of getting this amazing game, have some basic questions on mind, read through some basic guides but didn't found my answer

1. Deluxe version versus normal version, i saw some of the in-game content for deluxe version, may i know what are these extra goodies? are they combat good or cosmetic purposes item?
2. Is this game pay to win? saw some item in cash shop but not sure what the items does.

Thats all for now, thanks

1. Normal version is more then enough. Deluxe version gives a few ingame perks which will not significantly be missed compared to the normal version.

2. Cash shop items are basically for more perks and cosmetic purposes. The ingame currency (Gold) can be traded for cash shop currency (Gems) depending on the supply and demand of the market at the time. Basically, there is nothing you can't obtain with ingame Gold

yup, the cash shop a.k.a gemstore in GW2 , contains mostly cosmetic (skins etc), convenience (repair kit, revive orb etc not usable in pvp) and services (name change, expand bank slot, buy character slot etc).

1. Deluxe version versus normal version, i saw some of the in-game content for deluxe version, may i know what are these extra goodies? are they combat good or cosmetic purposes item?

digital deluxe version cost about USD20 more,
http://buy.guildwars2.com/store/gw2/en_US/...e.buyguildwars2
heroic 49.99 vs digital deluxe 69.99

the extra items:
one-time glory bonus (ONE USE ITEM)
a one-time influence bonus (ONE USE ITEM)
a five-day (5) Asuran Banker Golem (5 DAYS MULTI USE ITEM)

PERMANENT ITEMS:
a Miniature Rytlock (mini pet)
Summon Mistfire Wolf elite skill (elite skill)

only 2 permanent items.
perhaps you think of it as USD10 for the mini Rytlock and USD10 for the summon mistfire wolf elite skill.

the other 2 one time use and 5 days golem is just a bonus.

glory is sPvP currency, and will be removed in the future.
influence is guild resources, used for guild upgrades.

2. Is this game pay to win? saw some item in cash shop but not sure what the items does.
no, guild wars 2 is not pay to win.
the cash shop items are convenience (character slots, bank slots, bag slots etc) and cosmetic (weapon armor skins etc)

got various boosters as well (experience points, magic find, etc) but those are really optional and not required to "win" the game.




and if you do decide to give guild wars 2 a try, join us in Sea of Sorrows (NA) north american servers, not europe.

in europe servers, you will experience massive lag delays.

Appreciate everyone's comment on the game, my game is on the way hoping to receive it tomorrow

some additional questions:
1. is this game casual friendly? how does the end game gearing process? is it like WoW that you join raids with teams to obtain end game gears?
2. easiest class to learn and start with?

Thanks

btw guys anyway for me to download the game before physical copy reach my place?

1. is this game casual friendly? how does the end game gearing process? is it like WoW that you join raids with teams to obtain end game gears?

this game can be very casual indeed if you want it to be, but can also be very stressful if you're aiming to be perfectionist.... the high level of casuality of this game may not seem very attractive to some people who like to grind stuff.

the highest tier of gear in this game is ascended which can be crafted (armor and weapon), and also can be obtained via npc barterer and dungeon drops (trinkets). for casuals, exotics should be sufficient.....

you can also collect dungeon gear if you enjoy doing dungeons..... you'll need to collect tokens for that. tokens in GW2 are guaranteed as long as you complete a dungeon path. it's not like in WoW or LotRO where you'll have to roll for a dungeon token....


2. easiest class to learn and start with?

easymode ? i'll have to say warrior... if you like to troll and harass people, play thief.. lol, although you'll need to be proficient at it...

if you have friends already playing the game, you can simply copy his GW2 game folder.... copy and paste...

Thanks azizul for all the answers

btw found this download link if anyone need:

https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/...load-the-client

guess i'll start a warrior or guardian

remember to join us in Sea of Sorrows

hah sure, looking forward to join your guild too

Woah. i thougth im the only newbie here. mind to guide me?

welcome to the game to both of us

my game just reach my house, rush home right afterwork today

guys i always got error code: 7:11:3:191:101 while creating charc, spent whole night just to create a toon

anyone know how to solve this?

oh, join us in sea of sorrows and ask for guidance via our guild chat!

eh u guys magic find how many % ah? how to improve?

you can improve magic find by consuming some sort of luck item, i can't remember the name....

to get that item, you'll need to salvage items ... any item will do, armor, weapon, or salvage items themselves....

mine is still around +65%.....

one thing to note : the amount of luck point needed to increase the magic fine getting higher and higher with each percent....you can see at at the heroes panel... press H ingame...

can anyone tell me what are the sources for ascended gears? i know we can craft, and puchase with laurel, and big chest like wurm event.

any other sources for this? can get from dungeon? or purchase with any form of currency?

Thanks

fractals...

you have chance get ascended rings from fractal daily chest (fractal personal rewards level 10 and above).

you can also exchange 10 pristine fractal relic ( obtained from fractal daily chest, guaranteed 1 token) for one ring...

sorry but what is fractal? tried to search but dun really understand are they the currency from dungeon?

thanks
