I’m level 30. I have 50 levels until then. I do not power level or insta-80 with tomes because I prefer to enjoy the game via map completion. I’m real sure I had no points in Earth, my other ele didn’t either. He’s level 27 and fully specced to Earth. Other eles I asked were also autoed to Earth.

Being able to unlock everything at 80 doesn’t matter. I’m not 80. I have to play her until then with a handicap I didn’t even give her. Not my accident or mistake =/

Then go and play the game and do some hero point challenges. They are specifically for giving players the opportunity to unlock more skills/traits during the leveling process. No need to “rush” to 80 or grind since those are part of the leveling process anyway.

There, problem solved.

I just don’t understand why they would spend my points for me though, defense was literally the last tree I wanted

Yeah, that I understand. It is unfortunate and I can imagine it’s frustrating.

Look at it this way though, at least now you can hunt down hero points and feel rewarded everytime you unlock a new trait/skill. More fun than having “all the good stuff at once” especially during the leveling process (more milestones this way). Who knows, maybe you’ll even find use for some trait/skill which you hadn’t even considered before.

Is it ideal, no, but let’s face it, it’s no end of the world scenario as some make it out to be.

Yeah you’re right, it’s just such and easily fixed issue though, just give all players 1 refund or let them allocated their points on first log in post patch

facepalm I don’t feel like grinding because anet decided all eles need 100% earth. That’s 60 points in something I don’t want and can’t switch out of until I gain 60 MORE points.

All they need to find this is a “refund traits” button. We had it before, it’s not hard >:(

One of the main purposes behind the specializations was that you had to work towards your progression. Essentially making your character’s abilities more “meaningful”. That said, a refund traits option would completely defeat the purpose of that and probably specializations in their entirety as well(down the line that is, when more specializations are added).

I didn’t realize that more meaningful meant being forced to play my character in a way I didn’t intend him to be played. Their should not be a refund button I agree, however they should have let us allocate out points instead of doing it for us

Palindrome.8904:

The points were allocated based on what traits and skills you had equipped when the patch happened. You don’t need to grind with the intent of unlocking stuff, as by the time you hit 80 you will be able to unlock everything.

I don’t want to wait until I hit 80 to play my warrior the way I wanted to play him

I’m fairly new to gw2, so all the patch changes mostly went over my head. I have a lvl 27 Warrior and with the new patch I didn’t get to pick any spec it just maxed out my defense spec for me. Is there any way I can change that now or am I forced to wait until later in the game?
