Guild Wars 2

So, I’m leveling another character for the first time since the changes to traits. It’s different to put it politely.

There is an issue, at least what I would call an issue, with this new system.

I just hit lvl 36 and got my second trait point unlocking the first major trait. The blue ones.

One of the blue traits I want to use, I have to complete Twilight Arbor in story mode. Recommended level is 50.

This brings me to the issue. If I can access it but have it locked at lvl 36, should the activities not be for characters of lvl 36 or lower?

Master traits don’t unlock until 60 so you’ll still be able to unlock all the adept trait before then.

The game calls it a major trait slot but it’s the adept trait “Furious Speed” that I’m talking about. The game calls all the slots where you can choose what goes there “Major Trait Slot” which is why I said “The blue ones”.

He just misread/misunderstood what you were saying.

Yes. This is one of the fundamental flaws with the new trait system. Fortunately, you can buy individual traits fairly cheap, IF you already know what you want/need. This system kind of flies in the face of early experimentation though. Many people have made this concern clear before and after the patch. I would recommend doing a little bit of research into traits/builds and just buy what you want. I know that doesn’t solve this problem, but, right now, all we have is the promise that they are “working on it.”

No I didn’t misunderstand him. I knew he was talking about major trait II which is an adept trait that he can unlock at level 50 by completing TA story which means you can still unlock the adept trait before you have access to the master traits at lvl 60.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is worth a look…
