We all share your pain and frustration, there is not one person that is happy about the new mastery system, trust me in this
I am ok with it. This system juts like lvlng in other mmo, you farms xp and get your reward – elite spec. I dont see any problems. If you can get +10 lvl in new expansion of some ofther games, why you cant get 10 lvls in HoT?
MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online.
It doesn’t mean “Have to play with others”. You guys have no idea what an MMO is. An MMO just means you are playing with other people playing the same game as you in the same environment. It does not mean that you are forced to play with those same players to accomplish anything. It is optional.
People play MMOs for many different reasons. Being able to socialize with others while gaming in the same world is one example. It doesn’t mean they absolutely HAVE to play with other players, just that they are in an environment with other players. Playing solo in an MMO is perfectly fine if that is the choice you wish to take.
The OP is right though. HoT was designed with groups/zergs in mind. If you haven’t actually seen the events, they are all zerg events or mass group events (pretty much the same thing).
You are not forced to play new maps with brand new elite spec, you still can play old maps with old builds. Or new maps with old builds.
Why you even star to play mmo game then everebody knows what group contens is the major part of mmo?
That would be true if it were really “elite”. These elite trait lines are comparable to the original profession trait lines… Nothing special here to grind for.
There can be no skills, no passive, only the name and it still be elite. You can play the whole game using your old builds and there no be diferent, but if you wanna be elite you shoud do what all elites do – earn right to call yoursellf elite.
Hey friend, you can still play game even without elite spec and for you it will be the same GW2. New maps for you be just like SW before.
Elite is elite and if you want be elite you shoud do something, its not so hard to get 400 points.
I don’t mind Hero challenge giving 10 points being slightly difficult, but some of those you need 10 people to bring them down, its kinda ridiculous.
Not to mention, those hero challenge are often restricted by mastery gating, so bringing people to them right now can be hard too. It’s launch day and I can sit near a hero challenge in the canopy for an hour without someone coming to help, and even if someone comes, that’s still 3 people short of killing the kitten thing.
Why are you playing alone in lunch day? Why you dont have party of firends who traind the same mastery and do same explorations?
Why don’t you let everyone play the way they want? I didn’t find a sing ‘’requires at least 4 friends to play’’ anywhere when I was buying hot.
You can play without elite spec and try all new content.

Yes, exactly this i want to say. To get your ELITE specialization you have to complete some challenges with your friends and thats what we want from MMO game.
Pls stop using that word’s implication as an excuse for your own opinion when the devs have already said the elite specs are no stronger (NOT ELITE) than the base class.
It is simply flavor text.
To train this spec you must complete traing in all other specs, it requires 400 points to train the whole spec, its name is ELITE spec and its change your class portrait. So… its 100% ELITE spec and to get it you ,ust complete challenge. Its usual mmo practice and we are playing MMO game, so why it shoud be changed? Cause some of players dont have any friends and have some social problems?
Elite means better.
No, elite means elite.

They are easy to get to. Some are gated behind masteries, yes. This is an obstacle on day 1 – it’s a non-issue two weeks later.
Also if you haven’t noticed: The maps are designed for replayability. There are currencies and different meta-events/rewards for every map and people won’t stop needing those hero-points for all their alts.
The maps “dieing down” won’t happen soon, so why do you worry about that?And being “forced” to interact with other people? Boo-hoo.
Maybe you want to start looking here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingforSo, you’re saying that the devs know what they’re doing, they’ve got it right, and there’s no need or point to us complaining about it. We should just adjust our expectations?

These hero challenges are worth ten times more than the ones that you solo’d before. If anything they should require 10 players instead of 1. See how that reasoning works?
Good point except that we’re used to hero challenges that ARE soloable and someday in the not-too-distant future, the maps WILL be largely empty and then alts and new players won’t be able to get their points, which is just, you know, stupid.
So just call your friends and guild mates, whats the problem? This game is mmo, you must have some friends to play it.
I am afraid “no necro” meta will stay. Better change class now if you can.
