The nicer side of the expansion

Ok a lot of people have been moaning about the way factions has been put together, personally I have gotten far enough to judge, and I never played the FPE's.
But one thing Im loving, something that's completely out of Anets control, and something Anet have done. THE NEWBIES! seriously. At first I was dreading needing to baby walk the new players through how to play, but Anet have done an amazing job of teaching them the ropes in a great bitesize formula, yes it irritated and patronised me for a while, until I saw the bright side.
On top of that, from what Ive seen on the Euro English servers, the newbies are even more polite, fun, and team spirited than half of the veterans.
So to everyone who's having issues with the game, just think of the brighter sides that you can see until Anet catches on and fixes the rest, its not all that bad!

I just hope our batch of newbs are not finding the missions on the continent a bit too intimidating!

Aside from that, I hope they feel welcome no matter all the "OMGSTFU" yelling around...

Bah, veterans are too grumpy.

Need newbies around to pester them.

I'm neither vet or newbie, fyi.

yeah, so many guides in the Monastery it explains every little thing in detail.

what i've seen and liked:
- intro for new players
- faster skillpoint acquisition & levelling (missions up to 3 points, 3k quests in abundance).
- replayability value of missions if not fully accomplished pushed up (a measly 1k for the bonus in tyria was so-so)
- skillquests only at start of cantha (or so it seems so far)

what i've seen and disliked
- the intro (npc like mhenlo talking pop ups) can't be turned off.
- very limited control on alliancechat (option to allow guildmembers to talk into alliancechat please...)

The ritualist class, pwnage class.

you mean those dialogue screens with the character's avatar and words? They can be turned off.

Am not


I think it’s refreshing having a new batch of player in the game.

I’ve forgotten how many storage chests I’ve helped open

OMG the title of this says... expansion...

Well its not exactly a reduction is it? lol

Actually i met both veterans and newbs that very polite, team players, etc...
Guess many of the "stfu, zomg, kkggthnxgtgfu" people are still harrasing people in tyria where they have the feeling of being all knowing gods.

well, the first part of the game and the first mission is all about teaching players how to attacks, how to aggro, call out targets, and other type of things that us old school peeps knew already. But you have to remember one thing, there are those who still act like a noob just to piss someone off. Or those who completely don't understand the concept of attacking, aggoring, and others.
