Guild Wars 2: Beginner's Tips
Guild Wars 2 has been going strong since 2012 with the newest expansion, End of Dragons, launched recently. This expansion will take you to the Asia-inspired land of Cantha, which was first introduced in the original Guild Wars game back in 2006. If you have just started the game, you may not be here yet, and that's okay.

Now is a great time to get into Guild Wars 2, but you may be a bit overwhelmed by what you are supposed to be doing. Fortunately, we are here to help you. In this guide, we are going to go over beginner's tips when you are first starting Guild Wars 2.
One of the main aspects of Guild Wars 2 is exploration. As you explore the world, you will come across dozens of maps that can be 'completed'. Essentially, this means that you have discovered every bit of the map. Map completion allows you to get a lay of the land, as well as gain rewards and experience.
If you visit every location in central Tyria, you will get the 'Been There. Done that.' title as well.
When you have visited every waypoint, vista, hero challenge, renown heart, and point of interest, you will achieve map completion and receive a reward. This will go towards your total central Tyria map completion, which involves every map not included in an expansion or Living World season.
In several popular MMOs, dungeons are an important part of the storyline and gameplay. In Guild Wars 2, there isn't as much of an emphasis on dungeons. In fact, you can go your entire time playing the game without ever participating in one.
Because of this, you can opt to play entirely by yourself. There are dungeons, raids, fractals, and group instances, but these optional game modes are not essential.
