Feedback 2015/09/06 (gliding)[edit]

i'm trying to get my gliding down and the wiki and the game itself is really unclear about the updrafts. what do these "pillars of swirling wind" look like? how do you find them? where are they? are they even in the beta yet?

Where's the glider.[edit]

. Uh where is it? Or there's a trainer? The wiki here sounds like it's a thing... My next task(the second!) in heart of thrones is "get glider basics" but.... What?

Oh got it! Last icon under H hero tab is "mastery" and you have to run around a ton to get it up to 100%. Right? Easier ways?

It's just like leveling - doing events, killing mobs and just generally running around will level up your mastery. There's no "easy way" outside of doing HoT content. —Ventriloquist 12:30, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Forsaken Thicket mastery track didn't unlock after successfully completing Siege the Stronghold[edit]

I successfully completed Siege the Stronghold, and even got 1 HoT Mastery Point for doing so, but my raid mastery track didn't unlock.
I even obtained 3 achievements from the successful run (Siege the Stronghold, Mine Control, Love Is Bunny).

I also obtained the following loot from the boss chest after McLeod was killed:
5x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Turret_Fragment
1x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Lost_Art_of_Armor_Crafting
1x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_Insight
2x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Box_of_Raider's_Supplies
2x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Utility_Backpack#item5
4x https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Utility_Backpack#item5
as well as 1 exotic item and 1 rare item.

This page (under here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Heart_of_Maguuma_mastery_tracks#Forsaken_Thicket) says that "Forsaken Thicket is unlocked after killing a boss in the Forsaken Thicket raid, or completing the Prison Camp Encounter or Siege the Stronghold events."
So, is it a bug that I didn't get my Forsaken Thicket mastery line unlocked? --175.141.47.71 15:47, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

[1] They intentionally changed Siege the Stronghold to unlock the mastery and I haven't heard anything about them changing their minds since. So if it's not working I would say yes, that's a bug. -Azurem (talk) 16:07, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
I also just did siege the stronghold to unlock the mastery, but the mastery track did not unlock. I have a screenshot, but I have no idea how to upload... Do we have a source that confirms the event does unlock the mastery? I got a bunch of achievs, including siege the stronghold, but nothing on the mastery track.
found it, https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/July_2016 -> july 26th. The "Siege the Stronghold" event in Stronghold of the Faithful will now unlock the Forsaken Thicket Mastery track. Time to submit a support request :(

Ancient magic mastery unlock.[edit]

Ancient magic mastery unlocked for me by using "Teleport to a friend" item to a party member who was in "Ember bay". I got a mastery track and a waypoint unlocked and was kicked out of the map in a second. I don't own "Ember bay" map story episode, but I have Hot expansion. --92.37.28.213 20:24, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

That sounds like a bug/exploit and should be reported immediately to exploits@arenanet.com. I could be wrong, but if I'm not, they will want to know about it. -Darqam
Thanks, I just unlocked this mastery track that way on my alt acc. Even if it's not intended, it's still weird that the later episodes (ie. Lake Doric didn't work) don't unlock it and new players will be forced to buy ep 1 or 2. JayTee (talk) 16:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
