Background: Guild Wars 2 Leveling via Exploration Progress
Overall, I think I made a good choice of making this my alternative game to play outside of TERA because it tells me a lot when I can spend hours running around in-game and not feeling bored in the process.
I spent around 3.5 hours last evening visiting points of interest, unlocking waypoints, viewing vistas, locating scouts (for the next set) and wherever I find them, sitting in different chairs (so yeah, I’m heading into any open building and checking every single floor). I only made around 2 levels (level 12) since I’m also starting my characters personal story (basically the games main quest/story line). It’s been a blast so far even though it is slow going but the explorable areas (I’m only in the starting areas of the Kryta region) in this game will keep me occupied this way for a long while.
UPDATE: switching to leveling a revenant (this exploratory way) since the necromancer combat (skill and audio effects + combat animation) was driving me crazy.
