Unlocking Hero Battles PvP Arena

I can't unlock the Hero's Battle PvP arena for my account. I've been using my PvE Necro to do all the PvP arenas and Zaishen Basic Training and I still have no luck. Any clues?

If you have at least one hero unlocked, then create a PvP character, go to the Temple of Balthazar and talk to the priest. He'll give you an option to open the hero battles. This option didn't appear for me on my PvE character.

Thanks padre. I'll try that.

Hmmm....I read somewhere that you have to unlock three heroes on your account in order to unlock the hero battles arena.

I just beat Nightfall. If that doesn't unlock the arena I don't know what will!

I just got on a pvp character; went to the temple of balthazar and talked to the priest of blathazar.
Got this:

Same here, I rolled a PvP Monk and got it instantly.

so if you don't have a free character slot you can't do hero battles? huh?

If you have an existing PvP character, there shouldn't be any need, Pkest.
And I don't doubt that a PvE character can unlock it either...

You have to ahve at least three heroes unlcoked, through PvE or with faction of balthazar, that should unlock it accoutn wide (for PvP characters, who have access to all unlocked heroes)

PvE Toons cannot unlock it. 'Nuff Said.

BUG!

You should report that in the Nightfall bugs thread.

Learned the hard way, but existing PvP chars will do the job so no need to re-roll.

Also, I noticed I also got to unlock Acolyte Jin as well. I've already unlocked Sousuke in PvE and as far as I'm aware the Arenas all opened up when my main got Ascended.

It would be nice if they got this fixed before the coming 'double faction for hero battles' weekend.

This could have been intentional, Pkest. Don't ask why, but... it kinda makes sense. Why not just piece together a PvP char, ANY PvP char? Once it's unlocked, it's an account-wide unlock, so your PvE character can get to it.

Pve players don't by and large keep an extra slot around for a pvp character. I have 1 slot for each class and I have no intention to buy another especially not to unlock something that I paid for when I bought Nightfall.

Actually , yes they do, if its not to pvp with its just to use as a mule and most make a pvp char to use as a mule.

And about that something you paid for, its there , if you dont want to make a pvp char to unlock it then thats your prolem, but you are denying yourself the hero battles, dont complain as if you cant get it when you are the one preventing yourself from it.

Actually I'm complaining about a bug that still needs fixing. Wiki says it's a glitch that only affects certain accounts.

And people who play the GAME rather than farm and play the economy all day don't need mules. So I don't agree with your claim that even pve players should have a pvp slot.

I didnt say should, i said most do,because you said that most dont.

If it is indeed a bug, i find you saying that you payed for it , is not fair to Anet, who knows maye they are doing all they can to sort it out.Your message to me sounds like, that because you payed for it they are are not allowed to make mistakes.

Not at all. I expect and am very patient with bugs. My response that I shouldn't have to pay extra to unlock something advertised as a selling point of Nightfall was in response to The Pointless saying it was supposed to be that way and it was my fault for not having a pvp slot when nothing was ever stated about that being necessary to play hero battles (which after all seem primarily geared at luring pve players into pvp).
