Guild Wars 2

Well, same thing here at lvl 31. Got hero points alright!
I still don’t know why I didn’t get any between lvl 25 and lvl 30 but at least now it seems to be working properly.
I will edit the topic.

There are 196.830 different builds with traits alone now. don’t be afraid to experiment.

I will add that leveling up lvl 78 → lvl 79 on my warrior did add hero points (26 I think).
So maybe:
_some characters are bugged and don’t gain hero points upon leveling?
_there is not hero points to be gained between lvl 25 and 28?
_unlocking automatically the entire earth specialization for my ele at lvl 25 caused a “hero points deficit” that I have to erase, thus preventing me to gain hero points until the gap is filled?

My hero points seem to be bugged, I do not get any when I level up! Went from lvl 25 to lvl 28 with my ele and I got nothing. It sucks

Went from lvl 25 to lvl 28 with my ele and I did not receive any hero points every odd level!
Hero points from hero challenges are the only ones I got.

It’s because it’s the fastest way to get money and exp.

Get money in dungeons? And here I thought that due to their insane difficulty and diminishing returns, running dungeons would actually cost more in repair than you get in return.

True, I never experienced that myself, but reading this forum convinced me thereof.

To actually not be richer after finishing a dungeon, you would have to have died a few dozen times. If you don’t manage to finish it, however, you might come closer to equuilibrium. But then, isn’t it a fair price for failure ?

And I am 100% fine with a dungeon design that does not cater to “make fast money and exp”. Dungeons in this game are great fun. I have done a lot of them, especially focusing on AC and TA for sets. Out of the 8 different paths in these 2 dungeons (story + exp), there is ONE difficult encounter. It’s Leurent + 3 Nightmare court Knights in TA. I can find groups of people doing TA at almost any hour of the day.

People find dungeons difficult ? A lot of them actually try harder and overcome the difficulty. Instead of complaining and whining “blabla dungeons too hard they will be the doom of this game if Anet doesn’t change it to exactly the way I personally feel about it”

People don’t like dungeons ? If they have the least bit of common sense they say “I don’t like it”. But nowadays it’s so much cooler to use words and expressions like “bad design decisions”, “poor gameplay concepts”.
Are you a developper ? No. Do you know better than developpers ? I don’t think so.

Are you allowed to come on the forums to voice your OPINIONS and criticize ? Yes !
But please TRY to play the game before, even if it’s difficult. Please TRY to understand design decisions before whining. And don’t be surprised when people react negatively when you say “we”, “all the PvE players of this game”, “normal people”. Your opinion is only as valid as mine, and less so if you don’t base it on facts or if you “type before you try”.

Hi. Quick question if you don’t mind.
How do you counter people having retaliation (guardians, some engineers and mesmers) as a ranger ? I used sigils of nullification but I still take some hefty damages from it.

Was the OP expecting GW1 with better graphics ? Did he not read anything about the game before playing it ?
With this new era of entitlement, when people dislike games, they go on and blame “design flaws”, “gameplay planning failures” and so on.
But I’m sorry : you do not enjoy the game, whereas a lot of people do, and it’s getting considered as one of the best games of the year.
So instead of writing things like : “the worst implementation of a pitifully bad idea I can possibly imagine for a video game”. Write : “I personally do not like the concept”. It’s closer to the truth.
