(1) Erm... Kabam fired the guy who came up with masteries 2.0 immediately. His ideas were too pro-player and didn't align with the overall vision of milking the whales (kinda like the meme).
(2) But in all realness, what I've heard at least is that the code base is so complex that there's many unknown interactions with masteries. Rather than introducing new masteries that could potentially mess up the game entirely, the idea has been sidelined.
Now, as for mastery loadouts, idk tbh... they really should have those now especially since we got them in bgs. Alternatively they could also just remove mastery costs entirely (aside from the cost of initially unlocking said mastery/ies)
BGs decks are using them.
The tech is already there.
Not expanding them to other game modes after so long they are at BGs, is disappointing at least 🙁
We've seen the game pivot from wish crystals (which still could come) to nexus crystals/themed crystals. Relics took an extra year to come out, and since been reevaluated before more are released. From what I've seen, Mastery 2.0 isn't easy to implement. I won't get into details, but I do know it isn't forgotten.
That response is fine, but when something becomes 6 months past its expected time in the game, 12 months, 2 years, no one believes there is no information available. Just provide an update, it will be delivered soon (and provide a fairly concrete but flexible timeline), it’s still planned but a way off (less concrete but flexible time line), we still want it in the game but due to development difficulties it’s moved way down the pecking order (provide vague timeline) or there’s no longer any plans for it, it’s dead.
We typically get no update at all. So we don’t mind the road maps changing. As a whole we love the road maps and seeing what plans there are for the game. But alongside any annual road maps, if Kabam provided an update on the previous years road map and if there is any deviations from plans that we still expecting to be delivered. If we had that I think the majority would be fine. There would still be a few riding the “KABAM YOU SAID WE’D GET X, YOU LIED TO US!!!” But I think they’d get shut down by the community. We just need better communication on these things.
If they would be clear that some items are just ideas, some items are actively being worked on with no timeline yet, and some have a tentative timeline that may change and they gave us updates on all 3 categories twice a year I think we’d all be happy. Some folks would be upset if ideas don’t pan out but if they gave some context for why (shift in game direction, too difficult to implement, impossible to work into current structure, etc.) that would go a long way.
That masteries 2.0 communication above has pretty concrete language this it is coming in 2022. I don’t remember ever getting official communication about whether it was delayed or scrapped or where it stands and threads on the topic never get a response. That’s a communication issue.
let me say one thing that alot of people love saying here: SKILL ISSUES
