REmove the adventure from collection
Mastery points are the same for HoT whether they come from the expansion maps or the LS3 maps. Considering that you have to max masteries from both to get XP, I don’t see why there needs to be a distinction.
Because the point I was making is that one needs to collect a bunch of adventure MPs to complete HoT.
I agree that they’ve done a good thing by having more MPs available on the LS S3 maps. But, it’s not enough (yet) to offset the mistake made in HoT. (“Mistake” is in my opinion.) Plus, it requires playing through LS S3 in order to complete HoT. That just feels wrong.
You will never completely complete HoT without doing adventures. Depending on what you consider being complete anyway. But since Adventures ARE a part of HoT, and you’re talking about “completing” HoT.
It will always be, “I completed HoT! …except Adventures.”
This is like saying you’ll never complete core Tyria without getting shield master,
Adventures are on the map. Weapon mastery isnt,
You can advance shield master, in theory, without ever performing a shield kill in core tyria.
Scouts are on the map but you dont’ have to complete the scouts to complete a zone. Merchants are on the map. There are things on the map that you can interact with that don’t need to be interacted with.
They don’t count toward map complete. You can do them or you can ignore them, in the same way you ignore a trading post, crafting station, or anything else on the map.
More to the point, if I complete a hero point or mastery point, it’s marked off on the map. That doesn’t happen with an adventure.
I was just pointing out the problem with that one comparison.
Overall, I believe that the devs try to provide a variety of things to do in a given map, not so much because they necessarily expect anyone to do everything bht because they hope that it will allow most people to find something to have fun with on that map. Any one of us, as players, can make decisions about what constitutes completing a map for ourselves. That isnt really a reflection of anything other than our own preferences.
Define “complete”.
Complete as in masteries.

Which you currently can do without adventures.
And, here’s why completion of masteries matters:
If someone buys the game now, they don’t get LS S3. So, in order to complete all the masteries, they must either complete every single mastery point except adventures, or they must do some adventures to offset the ones they don’t/can’t complete.

Unless they’re going for the first four HoT legendaries then it’s all moot. The other legendaries, as well as being able to gain a spirit shard from leveling, require the purchase of at least one episode (if they don’t own the most recent). The LS3 episodes can also be purchased using gold. This is about 347G for every episode including the next one.

Or spend some gold or real money on gems for LS3.
