Guild Wars 2

I was reading that once the construct is dead a platform will appear beneath the mastery to obtain the point. I just did this a moment ago. We killed the construct but a platform did not appear. I tried accessing the MP from the nearby rocks but was not able to.

Should I be doing something differently?

That sounds like something bugged out. Every construct death I’ve seen has resulted in a stone platform at the MP.

Wild speculation: How close to the timer end were you? If you -just- beat the boss, maybe it died but didn’t credit the kill?

I have attempted twice to get this MP.

The first time I arrived and no boss was there and no platform to stand on to get MP.

The second time the boss was up and had at least 50% HP when I arrived. We killed him and still no platform appeared.

Maybe another way of getting this MP: Do the story until you have the mursaat-armor. Then the lava does not hurt you and you can stand in it right at that mastery point.

To clarify “platform”. These are rocks that appear in the lava pool during the fight. Basically allowing you to melee the boss at ground/lava level. They form a kind ring around the boss, one of them is close enough to the MP to allow you to stand and get the MP.

If they’re not appearing then either a bug, or maybe people aren’t doing something to make them appear (like fight the boss at melee range?).

It’s a bug if the platform doesn’t appear after the Mursaat boss event. The next time that it happens, report the bug in-game so that Anet can work on resolving it.
