Buzzbugs.1236 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Isn't this a little steep? Maybe even more than steep. It's a straight up wall. Shouldn't such a simple quality of life feature like this be just a default general setting, without the need to grind out 19 mastery points to unlock this basic feature? 19 Mastery points so I don't have to spam "F" all day. 6 2 3 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco.9302 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Seems absolutely fine. There are plenty of Mastery points easily available without needing to grind anything. I would suggest maxing out the autoloot line before others if that's your priority. 9 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamat.8254 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 You call it a basic feature to have auto loot, but surely you just take it for granted in other games? I suppose you think that we shouldn't have to unlock masteries for mount abilities or that the skyscale should be just given to us? I loved the fact I needed to unlock autoloot as it made me appreciate this more and did content I would otherwise skip. 10 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senfdieb.3985 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There are 9 insights that you can get. You'll get one for reaching a character to level 80. After that just choose if you wanna play your personal story (you'll miss one point, cause you only get 8) or do the rest in the fractals.

Danikat.8537 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If you haven't already done so make sure you turn on the AoE loot and Autoloot: Autopickup options (which are available to everyone). They make a bigger difference IMO than the mastery one. All masteries get both more expensive and less important to have as you go along the tracks, so they all end with something which isn't worth the trouble if you look at it as the only reason to put points into that mastery (in this case saying it costs 19 points, which is the total cost for the entire mastery, not just this one tier). If you don't think it's worth it then the simple answer is to skip getting it. But central Tyria mastery points are relatively easy to get so eventually you may find you have enough without going out of your way to get them. (Also if you don't plan to make a gen 1 legendary or the first few gen 2 ones you can skip the entire legendary crafting line and if you don't do Fractals you can skip the Fractals line too.) 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure 9 of the 19 mastery points you need are just open world communes. Others come just from doing personal story. Doesn't seem like that big a hassle, tbh. If you have and complete Season 2 you get another 8 btw, which would be 17 of the 19 you need. Edited May 25, 2022 by Vayne.8563 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Be grateful that the opportunity exists. In SW:ToR, you have to manually pick up drops. There is no mastery or skill to auto-loot. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxez.7361 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There are enough Core Tyria Mastery Points in the game to unlock all Core Tyria Masteries and have 34 Mastery Points left over. LWS2 & Fractals have easy to unlock Mastery Points. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterousGecko.6328 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yea, it's kitten, no it's not going to change. This is "horizontal" progression lol. At least you don't have to do it for alts. 3 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) There wasn't such a thing for 3 years in-game, so most of us were more than eager to place Mastery Points in Advanced Logistics (Pact Commander). Maybe if you play 3 years without, you will appreciate the Mastery Track, as well. 🤷♀️ Here's a leg up: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery_point_unlocks#Central_Tyria_mastery_points Edited May 25, 2022 by Inculpatus cedo.9234 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAA.9653 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Since it's the most convenient mastery of all, including mounts and gliding, 19 doesn't seem steep enough. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 When we got this mastery line in 2015, I'm pretty sure a lot of us had the baseline achievements for most of the central tyria mastery points (I'd only played a couple of months beforehand, and had plenty of mastery points to spend). The only annoyance I remember was getting the exp to level up masteries, which was a drag. While masteries are annoying, they are a one off annoyance, so the pain dulls with time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't such a simple quality of life feature like this be just a default general setting, without the need to grind out 19 mastery points to unlock this basic feature? 19 Mastery points so I don't have to spam "F" all day. Not really steep imo. Also very recently I've played on a new account, so I had nothing unlocked and was wondering how bad it will be without autopickup. I'd say it's not bad at all. Pretty sure "autoloot:autopickup" and "AoE Loot on interact" are not active by default, so I've checked it right away. At that point it was just pressing F once after fighting the mobs and moving on. I don't see how it's supposed to be a big deal at all. Quote Maybe even more than steep. It's a straight up wall. Nope, it is not a wall, it's reasonably easly progressing as you continue playing the game. Edited May 25, 2022 by Sobx.1758 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Confess this one took me forever to open up, glad when I did, it's really a nice feature. Mostly I just had to go do some living world season 2 to get the rest I needed. Nah shouldn't change, it's not as bad as it seems. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) With AoE loot and AoE loot on interact options this is also not as huge of a change as it may seem. One F per encounter, more if you are paranoid but even if you are you can simply look around to see if there are any corpses lying around although it could also be a party member that hasn't picked up their loot yet.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It's hard to pay for without Season 2 unlocked if you end up putting mastery points into the other tracks. A mistake many people make. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue.8235 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I have AoE loot on keybind and I still use it, forgetting that there's this auto loot thing I unlocked years ago. I was always so used to hitting the interact key as soon as something dies out of reflex. Yeah, it's a wonderful mastery, but it isn't game breaking not to have. There's also a ton of mastery points you can get just by playing the personal story of all 5 races, which takes very little time to do. See @Inculpatus cedo.9234 correction below.

DaFishBob.6518 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Coming from games that would require you to buy something to run around and pick stuff up for you before an arbitrary time limit runs out and some other player in the area runs off with your loot I'd say this is perfectly fine. It even got easier when a whole bunch of central tyrian mastery points got put into the game just because.

Gibson.4036 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Those 19 are really easy to get. I found Central Tyria masteries only got challenging after I'd maxed Pact Commander and got most of Legendary Crafting. 9 Mastery Insights in core zones 1 Reach level 80 8 Personal story completion 1 Do Tequatl That's your 19 from core. If you're really allergic to story and instances: 4 For doing all three lanes of Jungle Wurm 1 Karka Queen 1 All 10 Teq achieves 1 Skritt Queen 1 Map complete core If you don't mind jumping puzzles, switch any one above out for: 1 Hidden Garden (not a terribly difficult puzzle) Edited August 30, 2022 by Gibson.4036 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
