Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone.
I have been so busy playing I forgot to scramble to the forums and thank the Devs for the new trait system.

Words cannot express the happiness I felt when I realized that all my characters created after the massive trait change, are now equal to my grandfathered characters made before the trait change.

In other words, my younger toons, who had been restricted to one build only, due to that horrid system, now have all their traits unlocked

I seriously almost cried with happiness.

Yes, like a lot of others here, I lost a couple of my favorite builds, but that was a small price to pay for my younger toons suddenly having the ability to try out any new build they please. I just rolled up my sleeves, squinted at all the choices given, and made new builds to replace the broken ones as best I could…By all the Skitts, I wish some choices were in different columns

Anyways. Thank you for giving my non-grandfathered characters their freedom

Lisa.

Great, now maybe they can restore my up levels to there fully unlocked state prior to the patch? The patch where all of a sudden all the skill point scrolls I poured into them turned into unlocked “training” I may or may not have wanted. Then turning the excess skill points into Spirit Shards instead of more Hero points. Because thousands of spirit shards are so useful, right? #smh

It’s an improvement but, they should have not gated Hero points. Allowing us to convert all our skill point scrolls into Hero points and/or Spirit Shards.

Hi DeWolfe.
I feel for you. I restricted my post trait patch characters to one build because I am a cheap kitten and did not want to spend all that gold and skill scrolls for the traits, otherwise I would be angry just like you for the same reason.

I am sitting on over two thousand something spirit shards and I don’t use the forge at all..maybe when they release HoT the Devs will give us something useful to do with all these shards

Lisa-Gives DeWolfe a warm, grandmotherly, Texas sized hug.

You haven’t lost any scroll used.
Hero points are given levelling up (a lv80 gets all HP to unlock anything “core”) and doing Hero Challanges (previously Skill Ch.) So the amount of HP you have is the combination of level and HCh. done on that character.
Anything else as been converted in account bound spirit shard at 1:1 ratio, togheter with Skill Scrolls.
Saving or spending them would not have change a thing ;-)
Basically they have done the best convert ever, where AT LEAST you got what you had before, but often end up with more ;-)
