Guild Wars 2

Alright I’m trying to keep up with the new stuff they announced but I’m still really confused. Mostly cause some things are properly answered but still leave questions. What I wanna know is, do I need map proper map completion (or all the skill challenges) on my toons in order to have the correct amount of Hero Points. Some of my toons I never bothered doing map stuff, just did EoTM and away I went. I don’t mind doing it, I know its tedious but I just want an answer before HoT.

As to our knowledge right now, yes, to some degree.

• Leveling to 80 will reward 400 hero points.

• Map completion will reward 250 hero points.

• You will need 65 hero points or 25% of maps worth of hero challenges to max out your character; that is before elite specializations.

• So if you want to use one of the new subclasses, more map-running.

(Subject to change, subject to additional information by ANet)

I have 9 alts currently that I leveld through PvP and planned to create 10 more – and I am not at all looking foreard to doing the above 19 times. This only negatively affects players who predominantly PvP or WvW.

ANet added skill scrolls to PvP reward tracks (and to WvW loot via champ bags) before so PvPers/WvWers wouldn’t have to send their alts through PvE to unlock everything – not sure why they decided to revert that change.

Darn…that means I gotta at least do part of the Orr stuff. I hate that place! Oh well. Thank you for the info.

Actually, even if you have to go through half of Tyria for the skill challenges, you can avoid Orr completely, but it will be repetitive and annoying anyway.

My best advice is to either wait for new announcements and see if maybe we misunderstood, or ANet makes some adjustments; or if they confirm that this is the new deal start unlocking skill points in PvE early and casually. The game will remember which skill points each of your character has unlocked, and award the correct number of hero points when the change is released.
