Guild Wars 2

played through new zone, won millions in XP…however because i don’t have raid masteries all that xp that is flashed up on the screen, including the bonus xp I get and the xp from chests is lost. iI’m not rewarded that XP that the game advised that i have earned. Why is xp gain in a new zone tied with an old raid ?

LS3 is tied to Hot because accessing the zone requires HoT purchase. It would not make sense to assign the new zone to core for that reason. The problem is not that the new zone is lumped with HoT, it’s that raid Masteries ought to have been a separate category independent of HoT.

Hi

Though I agree it is abit silly that xp gain is closed of without the raid masterys. This is how anet have decided it to be. I assume it simply is ment as a small incentive to raid. Just like there are tons of incentives to do PvP, WvW and Open PvE content. Like you need to do DS to get currency for your legendary etc.

However, You are lucky, the sulution is simple, just take 30 min out of your time and do Siege (some also call it escort). This raid “boss” is really simple, and you dont need to have super gear, skill or anything else to complete it. Plenty of lfg’s for it also (or start your own lfg). Takes 30 min tops (also counting the time to find people and gather up).
