Make Mastery Level Viewable By Other Players!

Mastery Rank is in the game, you spent a lot of time implementing this for Assist.

Mastery Rank is an in-game system (shown in profile privately) that rates how many achievements you have gained from titles and other things and gives you a completionist score. When I played Warframe, this was one of the main things that kept hardcore players playing. I made tens of weapons I didn't even need or want just to improve my mastery rank on that game, because they showed it off to other players and so you wanted to get that +1.

You are not using this great addition in a way that would give players more reason to do content, MMO players like having goals to work on but more importantly they like showing them off to the community. I myself got bitten by this bug and was chasing more titles for a solid few days, then I realized only I could see it and lost interest.

Add a way to publicly show off Mastery Rank please! maybe in search or when checking someone. Maybe change search view that shows mission level, to instead show their mastery level when they are rank 10 nation.

If you did this I 100% guarantee you people would be killing random NMS, doing old content clears, doing quests like mad people to get titles and improve their mastery rank scores (and this takes a long time). This is such an easy win on a game like this, that I cannot believe you are not doing this.

It's already viewable in game.... but it wasn't created as an achievement system, it was created to indicate to novices a vague level of experience for the people offering help in the Assist Channel.

And that's also why it's just a rank, and not a whole list of things you've done. It doesn't say exactly what you've done, only very loosely how much stuff you've done.

You're making this system out to be more than something it intends to be. People are going to kill NMs and do content regardless of an arbitrary number that a few people want to wave around to say how awesome they are.

While I do think it's been fun figuring out what it tracks and stuff like that, it again, wasn't designed to be an achievement system or a bragging rights device.

I don't care what it is, I'm saying what it could be and I guarantee you people would be all over this if it was highly visible outside of assist chat.

Maybe. But I'm not entirely certain that's a good thing. I don't really want to see people waving their e____ around in game any more than they aready do if I'm being completely honest.

I don't think it needs to be more than it is.

I would like to show mine, I need to flex however I can

Regardless of what it was created for, it does have at least a bit of a feel of an achievement system to me as well, and they do say "Feel free to take it as a measure of your progress in the game." [1]

I'm not too thrilled about it being connected to Mentors in any way, and while it might be minimal in general, having rank 6 or higher does give the power to mute people, so there's that (not that that is a huge thing either, but still).

I don't think that I would make it visible in the Assist Channel as it is now, but I would not mind it being visible when using the 'check' command for example.

Frankly I think such an arbitrary number really doesn't need to be "flexed."

it doesn't say anything about what you've done anyway, only that you've done lots of things.
