So I have a 92 SK I'd like to be Heroic for the extras, but not the autogrant of AAs. If I hit the upgrade button will I be forced to take the autogrant of AAs? From a dev yesterday it was said you should not receive the AAs until you decide to press the autogrant button, but many people reported that they were still getting the autogrant without pressing this button. Since the patch today has that been fixed? Second... if I don't accept the autogrant, but do accept it later, will I get the DoN and Muramite progression AAs? Thank you.
According to what I have read, if you upgrade a character to Heroic Character they get the autogrant of AAs. Regardless of the button. The only purpose of the button at that point is you can leave it unchecked if you don't want an autogrant of future AAs if they ever autogrant more. But you get the current autogrant if you become a Heroic Character whether or not it is checked.
All of them come back. Even Cazic, he's just sleeping according to Luclin. Although being Zebuxoruk would suck - but he is the Ungod, so he doesn't count.
it gives you the items that heroic characters get - the 2 24 slot bags and the green raptor mount with the crooked saddle.

I'm thinking about bumping my ~70 pally up, but do not wish to receive the aa's yet.” Then you won't want to use the Heroic Character feature on this character. Heroic Characters get the full AA Auto-Grant.
