Leaving controversial stuff aside, the things that bugs me most about the Hero Points and what I would really love to see changed, are the icons on the map.
It took me about a minute to figure out that there was a difference between the icons for HP challenges that I completed and those I didn’t complete. It turns out the difference is a light green and green icon versus a green and light green icon.
I would have suggested making them yellow or something if not completed and green if they were (more like the mastery points), but apparently the Central Tyria Hero Point challenges have yellow icons (dark yellow with yellow and yellow with dark yellow).

It’s something small, but I think it would definitely make the UI quite a bit more intuitive.

Fixing the bugged ones so we can map complete would be nice too.

Totally agree on this one! I have to mouse hover over every icon to see which ones I already did. The difference is just so small. Please make them more distinctive!!

yes definitely – maybe the incomplete ones turn a bright grey and the complete ones are a bright green.

Yea I was not a fan myself.

I wish incomplete ones were simply just red, completed are green. I’m having to mouse over each one to see if I completed it or not

Either better color delineation or this, either way would be a real help.

and make them bigger so they stand out more. Its very hard to see HP’s with how the maps are drawn currently. They need to be a more defined color as well as change more defined between if you unlocked it or not.

I’d prefer better differentiation and visibility, myself. They’re handy reference points for navigation, and if I am helping someone find HP that I’ve already done I can still find them. Sure, you said make it an option but then I toggle them on to help someone and I’m back to the visibility issues.

I really have to agree with most of this thread. Hero Points are currently a real pain to figure out whether or not I’ve completed it. I’ve actually taken to mousing over the points on the top-left of the map where it shows X/XX so it shines whatever’s not completed, but that’s annoying to do.

A color change would be nice for the start… uncompleted Hp icons should have a completely different color, than the completed ones !!

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

Already suggested this a week ago, I don’t know why its not changed yet, I can only imagine what it would be like for people with bad vision or colour vision issues.
