Guild Wars 2

The conversion of lower than level 80 characters seems to have gone rather badly. My dual axe wielding warrior was given random skills from what I can tell and assigned to the specialization that features mace skills instead of one of the ones for axes. How do I get the hero points refunded so that I can manually fix this mess?

Same problem here.

Same problem, I wanted to make a DPS warrior with two handed sword, but they put all of my points in Defense.

same problem. there REALLY needs to be a fix for this! please don’t auto build my character guild wars haha…augh

This is really bad.

I need Refunds on 6 characters at least!

+1 for this, the allocation was completely random and useless. (domination mesmer with equipped greatsword got 100% chaos spec and no spare HPoints) please give a respec item.

I WANT to build my OWN build !!! i want to spend all my point ALLONE !!!
AND
I WANT to BACK my skill scorlls I DONT WANT you stupid shards !!! its totaly CRAP for nothing !!!!
And HOW to i get MORE Hero points ?

+1 for the refund. I’m going to open a ticket; I’ll let y’all know what kind of response I get.

You can not get your ‘Skill Scrolls’ back. You can, however, accrue more Hero Points by completing Hero Challenges (formerly known as Skill Challenges).

Good luck.

You will also get hero points while leveling. When you hit lvl 80 you will have enough points to unlock everything in the training tab even if you do no hero challenges at all.

That’s not the point. They screwed EVERYONE by autobuilding their characters. I’m a level 32 engi and I’m completely useless until 41 because they gave me alchemy spec and all the elixers instead of my turrets or anything useful.

You can read Jon Peters, Design Lead’s response on this issue over in GD.

Good luck.

Thanks for letting us know there was another thread. I posted over there as well. I’ve got issues similar to above on multiple characters that need multiple levels to be functional characters again.

I’ve played many MMOs. I’ve always had all points refunded on character on major spec changes. I don’t understand why that wasn’t done this time, despite the reasons listed. The answer essentially boils down to “It doesn’t matter if your character is 80.”, but it’s not the 80s that have problems.

Unfortunately they already said this was the lesser of evils they had in front of them, so don’t expect this to get any traction. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m with all of you 100% on this one.)

Maybe they will get to it after some skill balancing that is quite broken at the moment among some other things, but until then, just push through and try to get to 80 as fast as possible. I know that’s not ideal, but once level 80 you can make whatever build you most desire.

In the other post it sounded as if the core specs etc. would be assigned closest to how you had your character before the patch. I went on multiple characters to find out that, in some cases, many of the traits/utilities I was using before were locked.

Right off, yes, this was a bad call. Having their flawed system try to build our characters was stupid. They should just let us fail on our own, instead building failure into their system. At the same point, it’s only a problem for lower level characters.

Now that we have that out of the way. Get over it. It isn’t that big a deal to just go and complete a bunch of hero challenges to fix the spec problems. At any level under 80, but I’ll give you 60s to be kind, your build is highly irrelevant. If you seriously can’t live with unexpected skills for just a little while then that’s on you and you really need to get over it.

Well at this point we don’t know for sure how much weight(value) Hero Points will have in HoT. For all you know Hero Points could be precious and require careful planning on how they will be spent. In that sense you wouldn’t want to just blow them on traits/utilities that you may never use when they could be way more useful somewhere else. Who wants to go complete a bunch of hero challenges or spend accumulated HP to fix a spec problem?

Since these points seem to accumulate rather quickly I would expect that the number of points needed to get all these different specializations will be on the higher end. In that case it would be beneficial to already have the traits you were using as a base and use the HP you already have to build out the traits/utilities you are interested in having.

On the other hand I can see why it’s not necessarily that much of a burden considering all the points needed to flesh out the traits/utilities are given from lvl 1-80. In that sense you could say you didn’t really “lose” any HP’s.

I have no idea what your point is, nor in what way it is an argument toward what I posted.

It takes like, 2 days to level to 80. You can even use tomes…I mean….just level up….
