Common gaming | How to begin? Guild Wars 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
How to play with friends? After finishing the tutorial, when you have an access to your race's capitol, you need to find an Asura gate. Going through it you get to the Lion's Arch and from this place all you need is to choose the proper portal and enter the location with your friends.
Asura Gates allow to move quickly between the cities.
The other possibility is to press H key and in the last bookmark (PvP) choose Go to the Mists. You'll get to the PvP location for the beginners and your task would be an Asura Portal on the top of the stairs. After getting there go to the gate on your left, which leads to the Lion's Arch. From this place you have to move to the group of portals by Grand Piazza and then choose a location where your friends are.
Marked portals lead to the beginning location.
The next step which makes the communication easier is to set up a team. To do so, click on the icon on the left side of the screen, insert the name of friend's character and send an invitation. From now on you can use team's chat and complete the storyline missions in few persons.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to meet our friend any time what is connected with the overflow. When our world (server) is full, you character will be send to so called overflow map, the identical location in which you should be but with players from different servers. To check if you're on such a map you need to press B key: if the statistics of WvW don't load, it means that your server is overflow. There can be few overflow location at once so to join friends in other overflows click their icon with the RMB and then click join. Far more secure choice is to wait the queue and choose travel when it's available.
