Guild Wars 2

That’s a simple question for Anet : Is this a bug or is it really intended ?

To me it feels like it’s in WvW that this mastery would be the most useful. Not having to constantly mash the loot button during a zerg fight would be nice and that’s why I went out to grind this.

Sure it’s a Tyria Mastery but since it also work in Maguuma Jungle it’s really surprising it doesn’t simply work everywhere. I’m inclined to think it’s a bug since when I go to the settings it’s both check and grayed out with a tooltip saying that I need to unlock the mastery to get this feature – even tho I do have the mastery unlocked. But I would like to have a confirmation from a dev.

Edit :

I finally found a quote from Anet :
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3g5smh/central_tyrian_mastery_poi_livestream_notes/ctv8i05
It says " can clarify this a bit. If you waypoint away before something dies and it dropped loot, you won’t immediately get it. If you return to the area, you will get the loot as soon as you can see it. It will basically pick up all loot you can see.
The exception is WvW, since loot bags always spawns at your feet. If you waypoint, the loot will spawn at your location and should get immediately picked up."
So this confirms that this mastery is intended to work in WvW. Thus the current situation is definitely a bug. I hope they fix this soon

Well done for getting there so fast.

I’m hoping this is a bug as it’s the only reason for me to grind out Tyrian masteries, and wvw is where it would eb most useful.

Same here, I’ve grind tyria mastery only for this one…

First, It crash my game (waiting for hotfix),
Second, not usable in WvW… :’(

3 days of farm lost for me if Anet don’t fix WvW autoloot (and 3 days of farm is a lot for a casual).

Man autoloot in WvW is one of the only reasons I wanted the expansion. The other two being reaper and scrapper. I hope they fix this.

Actually they said it wouldn’t work in WvW long ago… and we all looked at them like they were out of their minds, WvW being THE place you need it most.

Clearly they need a bit more of the hard stare.

((stares))

I could of sworn I heard one of them saying in one of the POI’s that it would work in WvW and yes even when you are dead and an enemy you have damaged dies soon after……

Nope. Exactly the opposite. Which was when the “Are you NUTS?” stares started .

Again I could of sworn I saw and heard it as I said out loud at the time “oh hell yeah!” I would go back and try to find it but there were so many of them and all close to an hour each near the end so yeah, nah lol….

Well def keep an eye on this post tho.

Starts stare O.O

Can someone link a post or a video where Anet talks about this ?

You could look back through the POI’s before HOT release but you may have to go back a bit and watch a fair few and like I said, in the end a lot of them went for an hour.

Edit: I was sure it was said in this POI:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/pact-commander-masteries-on-points-of-interest-a-summary/

However I just re-watched some of it and can’t find it so maybe I tricked myself into believing it.

However they did say it will work if you are dead. But they did not say in WVW specifically.

I finally found a quote from Anet :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3g5smh/central_tyrian_mastery_poi_livestream_notes/ctv8i05

It says " can clarify this a bit. If you waypoint away before something dies and it dropped loot, you won’t immediately get it. If you return to the area, you will get the loot as soon as you can see it. It will basically pick up all loot you can see.
The exception is WvW, since loot bags always spawns at your feet. If you waypoint, the loot will spawn at your location and should get immediately picked up."

So this confirms that this mastery is intended to work in WvW. Thus the current situation is definitely a bug. I hope they fix this soon

crossing fingers for a fix soon !

Generally speaking, I feel like you have to be much closer now to a loot-drop to be able to get it than before HoT.

I had situations in the Mad King´s lab while “farming” one of the doors with a big group where I didn´t even get the loot-message from a drop on the other end of the door.

This is crazy! The only reason why I want the Advanced Logistics is so that I can use it in WvW. Though it may be true that loot will automatically spawn at your feet. However, when you’re in a battle, you’re constantly moving and running, so something spawning at your feet doesn’t really help. And anyone who has ever Wvw, they know everyone runs like a mofo, or stealth. And when a zerg is trying to run away and you’re trying to kill them, you’re loot will be somewhere in the back, way behind you.

Bottom line is this, if Anet is worried about PvE’ers not getting their loot while fighting mobs of enemies, why can’t they also have the same concern with Wvw’ers? Jesus Christ Anet, you did it on one, be consistent and do it on the other too!

Lets hope it gets fixed soon, its THE place it would be most useful.

+1
I think most people want the mastery to use in wvw. (I know i’m one of them)

i wish i would have known that -.-’
Autoloot was the first thing i liked to reach in HoT cause i like wvw as much as i like loot and now…. now i’m a little frustrated about that fact.

Can we please have some answers from Anet.

WvW is a game mode that Anet does not care for, just look at all the sub forums, WvW got 1 post from ANet, but other game modes got plenty of attention.

They will add it… some day.

It’s okay. Engineers lost their hobosacks eventually.

Your bolded quote actually confirms that Pact Autoloot is not (definition “except”, not including) intended for WvW. Because loot in WvW spawns at your characters feet and not on player enemies. If you waypoint before something dies which then subsequently dies, the loot will spawn at your feet with the intention that you loot it.

However due to popular demand I’m sure they will add a line in WvW ability to allow Autoloot as a similar function to pact Autoloot in PvE. Problem is when they will add something for WvW. ????
