Guild Wars 2

I reported this in-game, of course, but I figured I’d post here as well, in case others have had this problem.

Recently, I received three Tomes of Knowledge from a login reward. I used them a few minutes ago, expecting to receive Hero Points, and did not receive Hero Points. I currently have one Hero Point, but I should have 15; 1, plus the 14 that should have been gained from leveling up from 24 to 27.

Is this an issue anyone else is having?

You only get hero points from skill point locations in the world. iirc.

Hero points are only awarded on certain levels. Odd ones, I believe. Also, if your character was awarded any skills or traits during the changeover, it may be in a HP deficit until it acquires enough HPs to allow you to spend them again.

Good luck.

On the potential for a deficit: I’m certain that I spent points after the change-over, as well as gained that one point from completing a former skill challenge – I particularly recall being baffled by the new Medkit, and fumbling with it, nearly being downed by the skill challenge as a result. Deficit is definitely not a thing.

Regarding gaining of points in general: They’re gained from former skill points, but they’re also awarded at every odd level after a certain point. Except, apparently, when they aren’t, as in this case.

As I said…odd levels.

If you desire an individualized response, you can contact the CS Team using the ‘Support’ link above/below.

Good luck.

Yes. Odd levels. Like 25 and 27, which the character leveled through. I don’t care about an individualized response from the staff. The character will more than likely be deleted and replaced, in order to actually get a working combination of skills and traits, as opposed to the mess that they received post-rework, so I’m not really that worried about it for this character.

What I do care about is making it known that there is an issue somewhere in or around the skill point gain mechanisms that can potentially choose to simply not give a character the points they need to advance.

It’s not that I did not hit odd levels, it’s not that I was somehow in a deficit, the character simply did not receive points for leveling up (from 24, to 25, to 26, to 27, via Tomes of Knowledge) at all.
