Guild Wars 2

I really think the Profession Reward Track System for unlocking new Skills and Traits using the Hero Points is awesome.

But I have some concerns regarding how new players might get confused with it.

For example: The first 5 Lines are (Traits) which you use Hero Points to unlock.
The rest are (Skills) which you use Hero Points to unlock.

A new player who plays Elementalist looks at this new menu might think that"Fire Magic" (Trait Line) will help them learn new Fire Skills… When we veterans know that’s not the case.

I think it’s best to seperate Traits & skills in the UI to help newbies know the difference while still keeping the system as it is.

Here is how the Menu looks:

What do you guys think? Will newbies be totally lost?

I think ArenaNet should seperate traits and skills UI so new players know the difference cause this could confuse a lot of newbies as they wonder why they are not learning new skills. lol

Maybe if they add text explaining the difference between skills and traits, it wouldn’t be confusing.

As a Veteran this doesnt bother me at all… But I really dont think newbies will get it unless Skills and Traits are somehow split or icons are somehow changed to reflect the difference

I wonder…

Given how Trait currently unlock later on, can’t it be assumed that so will Specialisation slots?

If so, maybe the Trait and Elite Specialisation tracks won’t be unlocked for players to put points into them until the appropriate level?
