Guild Wars 2

My question is simple. Will we get mastery points retroactive? Like for already announced map completion what complete earlier?

Since anet wants to add more progression: I suspect not.
It may also be quite difficult to reconcile. But adding them to rewards (for future completions of x*) would have to be done anyways.
Though I’d prefer if they did. I’d load up with a decent number of points to enjoy spending right away.

• x being map complete, world boss, dungeon, high place vista, whatever they deem worthy of a mastery point.

Yes. It is entirely possible that when you log in on the first day of HoT you will already have mastery points. Colin did confirm this on one of the interviews.

I saw an interview with him where he said more than likely we’ll have mastery points already.

it’s similar to the new daily task system and achievement chests were introduced – a lot of people got a TON of chests when we first logged in after it was implemented. we might have a similar experience with mastery points.

If they’re connected to achievements in any way, which seems to be the case, then yes. If you have the achievement relevant to a Master Point then you just get that point because you got the game and logged in. It will be kind of a bummer, in a way, because there won’t be progression for a lot of us, but at the same time, good for us.

Could we get a link to that interview?

@Kal Spiro I don’t believe for a second that even people with like…30k achievement points, will be able to get everything in the masteries. There should be plenty of room for everyone to progress in masteries. Also, I don’t think it will be based on all achievement points but certain achievements. Like, I don’t think we’d get mastery points for WvW, PvP, and a number of other things.

@Artemis I don’t remember which it was, but it MIGHT have been a video on AuroraPeachy channel.

there’s literally a thread on top of yours asking the exact same thing with the exact same words.

please avoid cluttering the forums with duplicate threads.

That’s not what I meant. Though it’s likely that someone with 30k has already covered all of the current achievements, and as such will get most of the achievement based Master Points right off. There will be new achievements directly linked to the expansion. There may also be ways to get Master Points that have nothing to do with Achievements.

Right now there are no rewards or achievements for map completion in Dry Top or Silverwastes. Wouldn’t surprise me if those counted towards mastery retroactively. Other maps already give you rewards and count towards the World Completion achievement, so I would see no point in adding yet more rewards for doing those.
