Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

I don’t really like posting on the forums (just reading; this will be my first post), but I encountered a problem. I searched for a solution (forums, submitted a bug, contacted support) and didn’t find any, so I decided to ask here. So here’s the problem:

I got a character, which was 21 before specializations patch and I recently started playing it again. When I logged in I had one specialization (wilderness survival) fully trained and some skills unlocked. Then I started unlocking others (got additional hero points from hero challenges), leveling, etc. and after 4 levels I noticed that I didn’t get any more hero points while leveling up. According to wiki I should get 12 from that 4 levels I gained. So I was convinced that it was bug and I’m couple of points short. So I did my calculations on how much hero points a level 25 character should have and according to wiki it is 44. My character had 90 points spent on skills/specialization 1 unspent and -19 from hero challenges. That’s 72 base points on level 25 character. It turned out that in fact I have too much hero points (28!). I have 2 possible explanations:

1. The system after the patch allocated the hero points in such a way I could have a similar build to the one before the patch and I hadn’t got sufficient hero points. So I got everything needed unlocked anyway and now I won’t get any more hero points till I even the difference.

2. It’s just bugged.

I just would like to know what is the case, because I have some low level toons I’d like to play and level up (didn’t check them yet, but I think they’re all in the same situation – all have one full spec unlocked which is 60 points by itself), but if it’s a bug I will just stop playing them for now and wait till it is solved.

I would really appreciate the help, please share if you had any problems like that or have any possible explanations for that.

Thanks in advance!

It seems some characters were put into a Hero Point deficit from receiving traits/skills to match their existing pre-change build. They will start accruing HPs once the deficit has been filled.

Good luck.
