Guild Wars 2

Did something change when I was gone? I am level 40 and I had my trait points spent on some marksmanship I remember. But now all of my trait points are gone and I only have 2 to spend…

they changed it so you can’t even get all your trait points until lvl 80. They changed the pve scaling because of this. Anet logic.

If you want to have even more fun build a new character so you can have the added enjoyment of paying gold and skill points for traits! Thanks Anet

Each trait point now counts as five. They made this update just to simplify things a bit. You can only get a maximum of six points.

Correction you get a maximum of 14 trait points by level 80

OR unlock the traits by playing the game, completing events and participating in map completion, not all the community has become lazy and expects everything to be given to them

This games PvE is about as much fun as smashing my hand with a hammer. Give me the option to buy the traits with WvW badges and karma, and for kittens sake, unlock all the traits for PvP. One of the biggest selling points for PvP was that you could jump in and be on equal footing with everyone.

Yea I agree with your points, making them available I the appropriate ways for each game type.
As for PvE, I amongst many enjoy it and I think they implemented the trait system well for PvE, but yes they do need to review the unlocking system for WvW and PvP.

Is that all the traits, or just the new GM traits? (I came back after 18 months to all 80s, so I don’t know how the leveling process has changed, other than it’s much, much slower at the beginning stage)

All traits, also levels 1-10 are actually much faster since the update.

I tried unlocking traits the new way. Its stupid. Even the adept traits are annoying to try.

One trait it had me going to kill some dude. Get there and all I see is champ. I solo champ and get nothing and still cannot find right dude. Check wiki and its a champ I’m looking for but shares its spawn with the champ I killed and its on a long cd. So I go to wvw trait guy and just buy it. Next day I log in and guess who’s on top of me that I end up killing solo….
