Problem with Hero Battles - Guild Wars Forums

aerial51zd · Jan 23, 2008, 08:29 PM // 20:29

First of all, I'd like to say hello to all, since i'm kinda new to this forum (been reading it for some time, but not posting anything) and this is acctually first thing I'm writing here...

Anyway, the problem is as follows...
I have Proph+EotN, and I've unlocked Hero Battles on my account with one of my PvE characters (my first ranger probably, though I'm not sure, I was quite noobish back then) and registered under my ranger's name. I don't remember if I ever actually visited HB with my ranger...
Now, I stopped playing with that char (but still have him on my account), and started playing with a monk (PvE char again). I entered HB with him and fought one or two battles and everything was ok.

And then, few days ago, I got tired of PvE and went to create a PvP char. And now I can't access HB with him, even though I've unlocked almost every EotN hero... Just says that I need to unlock Hero Battles on hero screen (H button). What's strange, I can't access HB with my first ranger char, also.
I can only access it with that monk I made...

Am I missing something here? Wiki says HB get unlocked per account by unlocking at least 3 heroes. I did that, so what's wrong?...
Is it that HB can be accessed by only one char on account or what?...

Talk to a priest of balthasar, and have 3 heroes, you should be able to access hero battles.

Just tried that, and nothing happens... When I talk to him I get that hero/item/skill unlocking screen, but the HB are still locked...

Hero Battles if a NF thing. To get it you have to have 1. NF OR 2. use a trial key to unlock it. Once it's unlocked you wont have any problem. I think gw.gamewikis.org can tell you more.

aerial51zd · Jan 23, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Then how come my monk can get there?

I don't have NF and I never used NF trial key... but I have EotN, and I think HB are EotN feature as well.

I don't KNOW what the problem is. But as a guess I would say you have to do that training quest that someone on the isle of the nameless has. Whenever you make a new PvP char he is there with his exclamation mark.

Did your monk do the quest in Nameless?

kel77 · Jan 24, 2008, 03:41 AM // 03:41

You absolutely do not have to have NF.
If you have EotN, you're set. Don't know what your problem could be though.

I have this exact problem as well. Even though I have EotN, I am unable to unlock hero battles for any Pvp character. PvE characters work fine (since I can unlock Heros at the start of EotN.

Does anyone know why I cannot use Pvp Characters in Hero Battles?

1. I have all the Heros unlocked in PvE (and Pvp)
2. I have done all the PvP quests/trials
3. I have won more than 15 consec wins in RA/TA

Suggestions or solutions would be welcomed. =)

Ok man all you do is create your pvp char, you start in the great temple of balthazaar I think. You talk to the priest of balthazaar right next to the championship cup thingy, and then you can map travel to hero battles. Its odd I know, but thats how I did it.

Tlaloc · Feb 24, 2008, 06:13 PM // 18:13

I tried that earlier; and I have just tried that again. Unfortunately that is not a solution to my problem. Any other ideas?

kel77 · Feb 24, 2008, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Really it didn't work? I just did it like 4 days ago...hmm

Tlaloc · Feb 24, 2008, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Do you have nightfall?
I only have EotN and Proph.
