Guild Wars 2

Both PvE and PvP trainers no longer offer trait books to low level characters. I decided to make a new sylvari ranger to play gs/lb, only to find I can’t unlock 2 of the most important traits for the build and the 40 skill points I put on the char were useless. Character bound trait unlocks were bad enough in the first place, but now locking them based on level in PvP? Seriously? We don’t want this.

if true, that’s gamebreaking

it is still a bit annoying, that you even need to invest 20 skill points to get those new traits for pvp only usage.

i recently bought a new account to play with friends in NA and now half my builds are not working, because i do not have any character older than 2hrs and obviously no skillpoints.

i know you will not change this in the future, but i wanted to state my opinion about it: it’s flawed design and not favourable towards new players, it’s not even favourable towards veterans. it’s only stupid.

This patch game is a complete disaster.

Very much agree with this. I think the devs even agree with this to some degree because brand new Rangers have the Marksmanship XIII trait active, even though it’s not technically unlocked.

I understand there is a trait revamp coming, but if Anet is trying to on-board new players (like myself) before the expansion hits, this should be fixed in sPvP sooner rather than later.
