Guild Wars 2

I have 2 questions regarding Tyler’s post on the earning of Hero Points via WvW in HoT:

1. Will any of the proofs be earned retroactively based on how many core Tyria Hero Challenges have already been completed and what rank the player is at launch? Please explain.

2. Since WvW rank is account-wide and Hero Points are per-character, will these Proofs and Notarized Scrolls be account bound and usable by any character on that account? If they’re not account bound, then we’ll have a massive hassle on our hands and the new system may be highly unsuccessful.

Thanks!

You wouldn’t need them retroactively for HP already gained since all they do is gain you a random HP. For rank, maybe, to let you be on par from past effort along with those who have spent the PvE time to get the HP.

Hopefully at least one of the proofs/consumables bought with proofs will be account bound since WvWers haven’t had a chance to use the system yet to catch up. However, since in PvE you have to go around with the specific character you want to gain the HP on, I could see them making it character specific in WvW as well. After all, we don’t get to farm the Hero Challenges on a perma stealth high speed thief and then hand them to our other alts.
