I don't know how people misunderstand me still, I've been pretty clear. I'm not against the mastery system, I actually like alternative advancement systems in MMOs quite a bit. I'm against the time and amount of experience currently required to unlock basic things that let me explore the world and do what I want, like jumping puzzles that are literally right there staring me in the face going "sorry come back in a year" like the example I gave yesterday. also yes arus anus asura lolololteehee i'm anus Kajeesus posted:It hasn't actually.

Look, it's one thing if we had tons of different content to level the masteries through like when we were leveling 1-80. But that isn't the case. If you want to level the HoT masteries, you've got to play the HoT meta events over, and over, and over, and over, ad nauseam. Which isn't terrible (at least I don't have to stand in one spot and kill mobs over and over) but after a few weeks of doing that I could really use something a bit new. You know what would make it not so bad? If we could just select a single mastery and level it anywhere. I would be a lot happier if I could get XP for my HoT masteries when I go do stuff in Tyria.

They could've at least changed the positioning so that the vendor levels were all after the corresponding exploration abilities

I've noticed some goons who dislike the mastery system as it is — or rather, the time required to unlock certain things — expressing the opinion that this may change. I wouldn't get your hopes up. They changed the HP required for elite specs because people complained about it, but who's complaining about this? You? Go on Reddit and tell me how many pages you have to flip through before you find a thread on the subject; I would tell you myself, but I gave up after ten pages.Kenshin posted:You know what would make it not so bad?

I imagine this is something they will do once a new set of masteries (i.e. separate from maguuma and tyria masteries) is released. Presuming new content is designed with gliding in mind, of course.

Honest question, what would the mastery system lose if it focused on stuff like exalted assistance, the leaderships etc? Doing dragons stand without leyline (and poison) to some degree is so loving dull.

He's not talking about raising your concerns, he's talking about how people keep insisting that the exp requirements are going to be changed when there is very little indication that enough people have a problem with this to make it an issue that will addressed. Unlike the HP issue.

Kenshin posted:You know what would make it not so bad? If we could just select a single mastery and level it anywhere. I would be a lot happier if I could get XP for my HoT masteries when I go do stuff in Tyria. This, really. I've been doing map completion on a dusty 80, and I'm 1/4 of the way through the last Pact Commander level. It's really no better for repetition than running loops with the Itzel or the Pale Reavers, but the trappings change more often and you're less likely to be skeletonized by a pack of sawtoothed chickens. I understand wanting people to play the new content, but that could still be accomplished with the regionally flavoured mastery points requiring you to do the story and push into the dangerous depths of Maguuma. Some of the unlocks look like things that would be QOL bullet points in another game, or a disused configuration option. Motoring around cities quicker, and rezzing people better are nice little benefits, but c'mon-- autoloot? I get locking regional movement gimmicks behind low-level masteries, you want players to actually interact with the new terrain, maybe even appreciate the unlocks, but several of the glider unlocks should have been basic functionality. Anyway. I don't think any of it's likely to change, and I will eventually get the useful bits and more unlocked; I just wanted to make a few comments. I'm really just glad that they're account-wide unlocks, so that I don't have to keep doing 'em.

When elite specs used to cost a lot and every hero point counted I would have complained about mastery grind but now it's pretty much relegated to extra convenience and vendors/map completion for precursor collections. This seems more like a case of "because I can, I have to" and yeah with that sanse of thinking you're going to have a bad time.

I honestly don't think CLAM DOWN and I would be complaining about this nearly as much even with the current XP requirements that we think are too high if you could just earn XP toward the HoT mastery levels anywhere. I don't see anybody complaining about the Tyria masteries, even with the same (similar?) XP requirements, because there is such a variety of things you can do to earn the XP there (and coming soon, fractals will get even better for that, as we see in the notes above)

Kenshin posted:Well, sort of. Not so much have to, but would like to, but instead of actually working on something interesting to get my (insert item that requires high-level HoT masteries here) I'm just stuck in the same zones doing the same thing over and over. One issue with this is that you still need to do the meta for all of the collections as they all require map-specific currencies (lol) or specific meta events or other drops. Really it just boils down to the fact that some people want everything and they want it now because they're veterans and they deserve it. That's fine, but even if they lower the XP requirements there's so much more content that will look even more out of line. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but you're not fixing much when it comes to how HoT is laid out for what Anet apparently sees as the long-game. They either need to acknowledge that its an issue and lay out a road map for fixing it, or go on record that people have to deal with it. The weird limbo where people are just sitting around wondering whether they're ever going to get to do X or if they should wait for a balance pass is probably a lot of the consternation.

Supposedly locking auto-loot behind masteries is to help fight botting. I don't know enough to say if that's a reasonable strategy or not.

I haven't even found any jumping puzzles in the new zones. Minor things that lead to vistas or mastery insights, yes, but not proper Jumping Puzzles that give achievements and grand chests like the old zones had.

There's a pitch dark cave in a god forsaken corner of tangled depths that is some kind of jumping puzzle. I spent a half hour climbing up roots and all I found was a bedroll and a lantern with no possible interaction, so either I missed something or it's not a "real" jumping puzzle. Can't find anything about it on the internet either. You do go into it on one path during one of the story missions so maybe the jumping puzzle part is just an easter egg.
