The Hero Point is a fine process for me, but I must say I don’t like the ending result of acquiring the point. I think it looks to similar to the point when it’s still available. The original option with Skill Points having just the outline, worked great. It was easy to notice, and once obtained, was filled in. Nice and easy to glance at while looking at the map. Now, I always have to double check if I have the point now.
I agree. I don’t like them being both green before and after. I guess the should make it blue or something like how the mastery points look when its completed.
It a;so would be really nice if hero point were labeled as group or solo. I hate finding my way to one on a confusing map location and its a champion spawn.
I completely agree the old Hero Points (even to a quick eye) were much easier to see regarding Hero Points that were obtained vs. Hero Points that were not obtained.
With that being said in mind, I do not think Anet should revert the new Hero Points back to the old ‘look’ of Hero Points but to update the new look of Hero Points where they are blue like the old Hero Points so they are not the same yellow color as Renowned Hearts.
The suggestion (if considered) would look something like in the attachment below:
yes to this!
I’m often running to completed ones bc i forget
maybe leave the completed ones green and make the non completed ones grey
Gray? Green? No… Just no… Gray is a terrible color to be on the World Map being vast as it is since Gray Hero Points would be so much tougher to see. We need something that stands out.

no i wasnt saying they needed to be that color thats why i said maybe
I love the way Eidolonemesis.5640 listed the new idea for the feature. Really the transition from ‘Skill Points’ to ‘Hero Points’ doesn’t require a color change all together.
Maybe another suggestion to make it easier for the developers, leave the yellow Hero Points marked as not yet achieved, and then mark the ones obtained blue. Yellow is warmer color, and noticeable to see on a map. This way, you could see what has yet to be done a lot faster.
I find the mastery points in HoT to be rather unintuitive. I feel like the colorful one should indicate the point is available and it should turn the dull gray color after completion. This isn’t a problem for the chests, since the symbol goes away.
Considering your players, even colorblind, the icon should have a distinguished look to it then it’s original, so that they are identifiable between each other without issue.
I constantly find myself mouse hovering to see “hero point” vs “hero point earned” which is annoying since it should be info I can easily see from a glance.

As do I, and though it only takes a moment, it still has ways it could be done faster.

^ this . . I’m right there with you! I’m constantly having to mouse over to see if I’ve done it, perhaps if it’s not changed my eyes will get used to it, but it is rather annoying. =\
