Guild Wars 2

So i have been exploring the beta map and have found that i can unlock the first tier in gliding and the bouncing mushrooms in itzel lore. Now i have filled the Exp bar to unlock the next tier of gliding but there are only 2 masterie points available to spend. I have explored the map and visited the Mastery points you can interact with around the map. They however not give me mastery points. I have tried it with multiple of the points and the result is always the same. I comune with them and at the end don’t get the point. My guild mates are having the same issue.
So my question is: are there really only 2 mastery points available during this BWE?

I did exactly the same, and now I can’t explore the canopy because no mastery point to finish the unlock updraft.

If points can’t be added, is there anyway to reset our points so we make a better choice? I feel like I made that one mistake that screwed me out of exploring the new biome for this beta.

Same problem here. I’m guessing we’re not supposed to get more than 2 points this weekend.

As for the canopy, you get to that by interacting with the ladder hanging from the helicopters at the rally points at night.

Not exactly sure why in the announcement, there is talk of experiencing the Mastery systems, ( We’re continuing to look for feedback on what it’s like to progress and earn Masteries over the course of multiple days of gameplay in the jungle and how it feels to use those Mastery abilities in the area provided. ) then limiting the available Mastery to Gliding and Itzel Lore (Mushrooms) and disabling all the Master Point locations so that only level one of these Masteries are available, when all levels were available in open beta 1 & 2.

Because bug I would guess.

This really needs to be looked into ASAP. Would like to experience the canopy and such but, you can’t without unlocking some masteries. Which of course needs points to do!

You need one point to get up there (Basic Gliding) and two to fully explore it (Updraft OR bouncy mushrooms). You have access to two points.

But yes, it should be reported and looked at.

I’m trying to explore higher than that….

This is definitely a confusing topic that none in the beta have been able to answer. I’d like to know if arenanet intended the mastery point limitation or not.

Personally, I’ve got all the experience for my next 2 mastery tiers (1 gliding, 1 mushroom), but without any way to spend points, I don’t have a reason to gain exp either. Was hoping I could at least work on those while they iron out the ui problems.

Clarification would be appreciated.

And maybe they don’t want you to explore higher than that in this beta. Betas aren’t for our pleasure, they are for ANet’s pleasure so that they can find bugs that they missed due to not hitting the right set of conditions to trigger them, so they can see how players feel about certain aspects of the game.

Yet, it is advertised as a feature for pre-purchase.

“I have to pay to do your testing job? Take my money!” said no one ever.

third one in a reactor in a cave….

Someone in my map chat said they had 4 points, but I have no way to confirm that (he could very well have been trolling). I still haven’t found a way to get more than 2 points this beta though.

I heard that you actually need to do a specific task in order to unlock training of the mastery line. That would explain why we cant train other mastery lines. Maybe it will work the same way with tiers of these lines.

I just asked map chat and someone said they were disabled. i dunno why. I ran into the same issue when i FINALLY reached a mastery point. was able to commune with it multiple times and no point gotten. So yeah they’ve apparently been disabled for some reason.

Yes, it seems in BWE3 you only get 2 mastery points. I have visited all the points from BWE2 where I got a mastery Point in BWE2, but they dont give any mastery points in BWE3 any more.

The good thing: No pressure to farm for XP.

Disabled? Or bugged? Hopefully yall are reporting it as a bug. If it’s disabled, then they can just ignore the reports but bugged, they need to know.

The Mastery Points actually weren’t all locked out of bugged. I can’t speak for the others because I honestly didn’t try them, didn’t need them so didn’t bother.

There was one that I went to and got with no problem after I saw people in map chat saying that they were bugged.

It was the one in the lower NE part of the available map. You do need bouncing mushroom completed to get to it.
