New masteries for Living World season 4?

[Erasculio.2914]

Living World season 3 came with its own mastery line, [Ancient Magics](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Heart_of_Thorns_mastery_tracks#Ancient_Magics), in which each mastery was useful only within a specific episode's map. This was somewhat similar to the HoT masteries, many of which were only useful within the specific HoT maps (like the Poison mastery, the Nuhoc travelling mastery, the Exalted assistance mastery, and so on).

 

In PoF, in other hand, all masteries are linked to the mounts. If Living World season 4 comes with a new mastery line... What kind of mastery do you think it will be? Something map specific like in season 3? Something linked to the mounts? A whole new mount? More than one new mount? Or something else?

[Ceridwen.6703]

If there must be a mastery line, it's got to be useful on all maps and I don't need it tied to a mount. No new mount needed (yet). I have nothing other than that, though. :)

Underwater mount, or use the skimmer for it. =)

[Einlanzer.1627]

I think we need more masteries, and it's probably best if they aren't mount related.

[Lunarlife.5128]

Not that it can change, but there is a thing called survey bias. Including wording in an option such as, "Sorry", "No new mount, though", is very negative on that choice. Please try to make future polls a bit more neutral in wording/ideas =)

I can see a new mastery line with a new shiny mount for us to play with.

 

Maybe this time we'll get our Skull-spider.

[Ohoni.6057]

I think they are likely to use Mounts, and I think they are likely to be *mostly* useful in specific maps, but also maybe a bit useful in other maps, like in s3.

[Fenom.9457]

Not sure bu there will definitely be more masteries

[Shirlias.8104]

There will be a new mastery tier like s3.

No more mounts until the next expansion.

 

And a skin for every mount ( 1 per episode ) through achievement, to show that they care about players.

[Lome.8239]

Dont really need another mount. We could have done fine without Jackal as it is.

[mercury ranique.2170]

I think it would be purrfect if they add a new mount every episode. PoF misses mastery tracks. People love mounts so new mounts is the best way

[tekfan.3179]

I guess/hope we'll get one or two more mounts, as well as some new things for our existing mounts.

As for new mounts:

It would almost be a scandal if Anet didn't bring in an Junundu-related mount.

Aurene looks kinda mount-sized to me now and it would make a lot of sense in terms of story. The commander is her champion, not to mention to bond with the other races like vlast didn't, traveling around with the commander sounds quite appropriate.

 

As for the new abilities for existing mounts, maybe those wouldn't masteries at all, rather something you have to buy like the glider skins in bloodstone fen.

I do not really care if the mastery is a mount (although if it is my money is on Aurene). What I want to see is the masteries building on some theme/a single mount. These one-off masteries (paging koda's flame) that you just need in order to get the masteries after it are hopefully gone now.
