destram.3921 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So should I and I'm going to miss out on big lore chunks? Oh and to make it worse I can't decide what class to main xD stuck between ranger, thief, warrior. I've been watching some woodenpotatoes videos and he says that best class for new player would be thief but warriors and rangers are damn cool tho.Edit: Oh yeah I know I have few days to play HoT but I'm not sure if I'm going to complete it by then?

FogLeg.9354 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You are not able to complete whole HoT before PoF gets released. Even if you rush through every HoT map and skip every story bit and you actually know what to do in the boss fights so you don't die a lot.

CharterforGw.3149 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You can complete it, but you'll be spending a ,ot of time on it and won't really enjoy the story (did it in 2-3 days on a second play through). getting the living world done aswell will be to much to complete. so just take your time and join PoF when you feel like it, you can always read up on the lore if you can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egrimm Van Horstmann.7921 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I would skip and go straight to PoF that is how they are designing the expansion. Better to play content when it's current compared to not current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abakk.9176 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You can switch between stories at any time.If you don't mind doing stuff in the wrong order you can start PoF and do the rest later.Personally i like to switch when i get stuck or don't enjoy a certain part and go back later when i feel more like it.

Not counting the 2 hour break it took about 7 hours. Me and 1 guildie teamed up and did it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If it was me I'd play HoT first, then Season 3, then PoF. But that's because I'm mainly interested in the story and want to play it in order. If you're not worried about that then you could skip ahead to PoF, but you may encounter some spoilers or things which don't make sense.As for what profession to play I'd say the most important thing is to go with the one you enjoy. You can learn to play a difficult profession over time, and if you enjoy it you'll likely want to put the time in to do that. It's much harder to teach yourself to like a profession you picked just because a youtube video told you it's easy for newbies, and if that's the main reason you picked it there's a good chance you'll end up switching to something else later.

Krydle.7418 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's up to you. You might finish HoT before PoF launches but if you skip it you'll be missing out on a lot of story. Honestly, I think you could skip it, but I think it's pretty important to play Season 3 of Living World which is very important to PoF. I think it's important to say that PoF isn't going anywhere and I'd at least unlock gliding in HoT before skipping it. As for classes, maybe look at some of the new elite specs, that might help you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullsandRoses.5803 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You could .... I dont think that you would have enough time to finish HOT before POF is released. In saying that HOT isnt going anywhere but you may find empty maps with every one doing new content. That is a tough one. If you play for story and like to complete things then yes, do HOT first. If you are all about new content, go straight to POF and go back and do HOT. HOT has way too much to offer to skip it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dont forget that new players wont have the hot masteries, which means the first round takes a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yargesh.4965 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 My advice is to unlock the masteries if you have not done so, get gliding and open the pact line to get auto loot. Then do new expansion then go back to HoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though PoF will be all about mounts, there will be spots that gliding will help, so getting at least gliding 1 done would be my first priority. Plus that'll get you the ability to hit the flax farm in VB everyday. Linseed oil is still going for good money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destram.3921 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks everyone. I shall finnish HoT as much as I can before expansion and watch few videos on lore side in case I'm not going to be done with HoT before PoF launches. As for the class I think I shall play elementalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
