So that blog they posted today says "overcoming challenges in the jungle to unlock your elite specialization", which sorta implies hero points won't be the only way to unlock them right?

Challenges could also be 'more than one hero point'

Kinda late on asking this but holy cow what is that hat? I've been wanting a headscarf kinda look for my guardian for a looong time.

It's a hairstyle for male norn combined with the scarf version of the Adventurer's Mantle. This is my norn ranger using the full mask version with a female norn hairstyle to have a similar but far more purple effect.

At least I didn't retroactively screw myself by unlocking every traitline on all alts. Just by getting every skill.

While it's a shame I can't dick about with a half-traited herald from the get go, the '100% MC = half an elite spec wtf' guys in that thread are hilarious.

Joke's on you, Colin says you need to have everything trained before you can start putting hero points into the elite spec! :downs:

Well crap, I guess I just misread it was just the traits finished first.


Really though, it's going to be 40 hero challenges to get all the trait and cosmetic stuff from scratch, but a lot less for just the traits. Assuming that datamined thing was still valid.

If you don't like pve or wvw, you play pvp. So you get the traitline anyway. Why are you complaining?

I'm wondering if Anet has upped drops on dyes since you can salvage them now.

Maybe they made dyes able to drop again, after they restricted them in the wardrobe update.

Had a lot of fun running around getting hero points with the torrid mass of goons tonight. Important note: tonics that can jump can also glide, though they do not show any wings. The large spider from the normal plastic spider tonic can jump. It works best if you have a kite with it, though the birthday blaster is also great.

Also I get that masteries are a thing you have to unlock with points, but the game is not doing me any favors as far as explaining how they work. It tells me I have so many central Tyria points, presumably from old world completion stuff I did a year or two ago, but it doesn't tell me how to spend those points on anything. My old saved hero points gave me enough to get about halfway through my elite spec, which is neat I guess. I'm still kind of sad that ele got a boring rear end warhorn of all things.

You have a bar, that fills up with exp. Once it fills up, you can activate it with your mastery points. This lets you gain the bonus for that level of track. You can't use either without the other, and one is governed by map exploration and achievements, the other by cat genocide event and crafting experience.

I'm really enjoying levelling my thief but I don't get how you're supposed to stay in stealth for any length of time or keep going into it, I suppose that's something I'll get with more trait slots etc unlocked later?

Also, is there any point in a level 13 Thief doing EoTM or WvW of any kind? Or would I be more of a hinderance than a boon?

You can either get Shadow Refuse (not fixing that typo) for aoe stealth or use dagger/pistol and combo the leap of dagger 2 with the smoke field of pistol 5, or the blast finisher of shortbow 2 with that or whatever that smoke field utility is. What you can use short stealth periods for is manoeuvring behind dudes and giving them a backstabium enema, by which I mean hitting them very hard with the dagger stealth atttack.

As for wvw, you'll be killed easier than normal thieves without all the tools they have that you don't, but zerging with shortbow is pretty easy and Scorpion Wire will take any single enemy from threat to puddle if you drag them into the zerg. Or off walls.

If you tomed to 80 and then finished the prologue would that give you the exp to hit level 2 for a mastery track? Cause if it bugged out and filled that track, wouldn't that be something.
