Restrictions on GAINING Mastery Points! Needs to be changed!

[Ronteque]

Why is the only way to gain mastery points by leveling up weapons?

We need to be able to gain mastery points from doing missions and alerts. Regardless of ! or ? alerts and yellow or blue missions.

I have tried doing those yellow missions and alerts and I noticed my Mastery Point did not rise at all.

The only thing that seem to give me mastery points are through leveling weapons.

If gaining mastery points are such a pain in the &#! to get and we get restrictions like "LEVEL 5" to unlock a hek. Seriously who is going to be able to get that much mastery points through only leveling of weapons?

So the easiest way now it seems is to buy a Lato, level it to 2, sell, rebuy, repeat process.

There NEEDS to be other means of gaining mastery points aside from leveling weapons!

Speaking of which, they just patched that.

I think you should get 1 mastery point for every enemy you kill, 100 for everything you upgrade, 100 for completing a new level, and 1000 for completing a new system. I've thought about this a lot, but I think I'm forgetting a few things. Also, the level 5 restriction on the hek is ridiculous. It should be level 2 or 3.

And now what do we do? It is like I have been stuck at level 2 forever. Doing missions and alerts does not even budge the damn mastery meter. Ridiculous.

Yes this does make sense.

I am thinking 1 point per kill people might just spam exterminate infestation missions. So nope.

Maybe just make it 50 points for completing missions. Yes even blue and yellow ones.

100 points for completing ! and ? ALERT MISSIONS.

1000 points for 100% completion of a system.

EDIT: Whoever put Hek on a level 5 restriction is just plain stupid. This joker actually put it on a level 5 restriction without even realising the current issues we have with the mastery points level system? We literally get NO MASTERY POINTS from doing missions whatsoever. And you put the Hek on a level 5 restriction? Really? It is like trolling the players hey you want the Hek? Good luck with getting the mastery points you are going to need to level 10 other weapons and warframes to 30 before you can get a Hek. Good luck getting those mastery points.

I did many many missions before I actually realise my Mastery points meter DID NOT EVEN BUDGE THE SLIGHTEST!

Fantastic. 10/10 would grind Rubedo with this in mind.

I think the devs agreed level 5 for Hek was maybe too much, since this topic has come up a few times.

I too would require some update to the system, whether mastery bonuses for certain levels (like hitting level 15 or 30 on something), or something to do with completing whole systems. Right now it would take an era to reach the 5th rank. 27 hours in, and I'm rank 3, which doesn't sound that bad until you consider that I've already leveled quite a few weapons already. Third to fourth rank requires an additional 17,500 points I believe? Might not even be possible currently if you can't gain mastery from repeat weapons.

A good way to balance the 1 mastery per kill would be that at certain mastery levels some kills don't count as well as some levels and alerts wouldn't give you mastery or it would be reduced.

The Hek when it was first added also had ridiculously high stats compared to anything else. (Base damage 300 or so) Probably the reason it got put at rank 5. But because of the blueprint not having that level restriction alot of people got it early and it was nerfed repeatedly.

I got mine from blueprint before it was patched. Currently I'm about halfway to rank 4 and have only used 2 frames and gotten maybe 2 weapons all the way to rank 30 so far though theres a few others I got to around 15-17 then sold off.
