Help Build a Better New Player Guide (Community Input Needed!)

[Serjekk]

Hey everyone,

I’m working on updating the new player guide since the current wiki is missing a lot of helpful info for beginners.

Instead of guessing what I should write on the wiki, I’d rather hear directly from you all, especially based on your real experiences in-game.

If you were starting fresh again, what do you wish you knew earlier?

Some ideas:

• Early mistakes new players always make
• Systems or mechanics that aren’t explained well
• Leveling tips that save time/frustration
• Role-specific advice that isn’t obvious
• Gear, economy, or progression traps
• Hidden features or quality-of-life tips

Even small things help. If it confused you at first, it’ll probably help someone else.

Appreciate any input, the goal is to turn this into something that actually helps new players stick with the game

From the most useful to the less

-Switch the game in English (!)
Otherwise spells and quest can be really deceiving
(I wish other lang would only show a translated Book of Knowledge)
-Download Enemy addon
-Download WoH reticle addon
Wonder if those two could be integrated like SoR (?)

Explain :
-Immunities
-Detaunt (doesnt break on previous dot/aa)
-Guard range/switch
-Clic casting for healers
-Healdebuff for dps
-Stats (corp is magic / snb needs block ect...)

Indicate :
-War Report / Bind book at capital
-Ward system / npc gear locations / Dungeons + PQ road
-AH + Craft locations
-Useful cmd like .changename /partyresetinstance /rel

A QNA npc at starting zone with those answers might be a fun idea (or a better /help)

i think the most important is explain the new players how to get in to RvR and SC since level 1.

KD/silence/disarm vs, KB/root and the immunities therein is the most useful clarification as far as basic pvp gameplay mechanics go.

Best advice is to get solid PC and get as close to server as possible. Buy appartment in France or something, because if not - gaming expierience will be very bad. In blob fights abbilities dont work, models are not rendering ect(impossible to play at any level)

Second best advice.
"Advice" players to do their role - not to come in wrong spect into specific content. 2H tanks in ruin gear in RvR- those kind of stuff.

Advice players to play properly - not as they like. From lvl 1. Its best advice for new players to not sabotage his teammates and to see their effort.

pixel death doesn't mean you die irl.

you are going to win and lose a lot keeps over time, don't let a loss get to you. there many paths to earn renown, if you can't win a keep for example, work on something else. swap zones, scenarios, an alt (a stealther if you don't already one).

how to wiggle through friendly players. I usually strafe while moving forward,and if I'm stopped strafing left while moving forward, I then strafe right while moving forward.
