Incorrect Gear Scores

A lot of users of Path of a Hero at one time or another have probably made an entry and not been happy with the gear score they received. It may have been old, incorrect or even zero.

Firstly you will only receive a gear score if you are level 70 at the moment (not sure what will happen when Wrath comes out).

Secondly if you are level 70 but receive a gear score of zero, then I will be notified and I will have a look at what the problem is. I have made a few fixes to the way gear score is retrieved recently so hopefully the amount of people with a zero gear scores decreases.

Lastly the problem with obtaining gear scores from Be Imba is that you always receive a cached version. This is a limitation of the web service and there is nothing that I can do about this at the moment. Worst still, if you have never used Be Imba it is very likely that you will get a gear score of zero.

Therefore I encourage everyone to manually look up (force update) their gear score on Be Imba before they make a journal entry. I know this is annoying however unless I implement my own gear score system, it is the only option if you want to receive a correct and up to date gear score.
