[GW2] My New Player Experience
I leveled a mesmer, a new character created to experience the September feature pack changes. I wanted to see for myself, exactly what the new player experience felt like, and to try and analyse it from the perspective of a veteran player as well as a new player.
These are my experiences, after the fact. They were also done during a time where the NPE was receiving patches to make it less awful, so some of the opinions I share here are based off the initial patch.
Also, I'm sure that I've missed things and forgotten about stuff I wanted to say, but this thing took a monster amount of effort and that's what happens :P
