    Here we are at the end of day 9 of the mastery and normal service has been resumed! Masteries are BROKEN! Requirements for day 9 are "Complete a Scenario or Timetable on any US Route"
    Completed a Timetable run on Cajon Pass using the F7, checked mastery and it hadn't unlocked. Quit the game and restarted and still not unlocked. Did a Scenario on Boston Sprinter. Checked mastery and STILL not unlocked so again quit the game and rebooted and STILL not unlocked.

    It isn’t unlocking for me as well. It does say “unlocks 21st December” in the description of Tier 9, so perhaps we’ll just have to wait a little longer than midnight.

    Check on dovetail live to see if it updated there. I had a similar problem with delayed Masteries on The Holiday Express. They eventually updated on Dovetail live and in game.
    Also try logging out of Dovetail live (in game), then back in.

    It says that on all of them! I'm taking the "unlocks XXXX December" to mean that that days requirements are unlocked by completing the requirements for the current day, just like we have to unlock the level one requirements to see what we need to do for the level 2 rewards for just about every other route we have (Clinchfied not included as it only had one level!)

    I guess the main takeaway is that the mastery system is confusing as ever ;) hopefully I’ll somehow be able to unlock the Training Center scenery layer, which genuinely looks quite cool. And it’s probably going to be quite rare as I doubt many players are willing to put up with the mastery system for 12 challenges.

    I think you're reading it wrong.
    Day 9 can be completed now, it is no longer locked. It says 0/1 meaning you haven't completed it yet.
    Day 10 is locked, i.e. cannot be completed yet. It will unlock some time tomorrow, and then you can complete it.

    So after I posted this I signed out of Dovetail Live and shut down my series S. Booted the game up about 15 mins ago, signed back into Dovetail Live and checked the masteries. Day 9 STILL not completed. Have gone into Harlem line and done a quick Timetable run, checked mastery and same again. Have even quit and restarted the game! Seriously wish DTG would stop pissing about releasing new routes like the world is about to end and fix all of the LOVE ups in the game!

    Sounds like a bug.
    I am currently playing TSW2 on XSX. But earlier today, I fired up TSW3, loaded Cajon Pass for the first time, and did the loco introduction mission, and the mastery for Day 9 is now completed. So, I'm back to TSW2 on XSX, which plays a lot better than TSW3 on my PC.

    Just got Tier 9 and 10! But Tier 11 doesn’t seem to want to unlock. Considering Tier 10 shouldn’t be available until tomorrow, I guess I managed to trick the system somehow ;)

    Well, i meant that i unlocked the Tier 10 while completing Tier 9 by doing... nothing?
    Speaking of Mastery, i don't know what's happening with it tbh. (The Tier 6 is not done but Tier 7 is.) upload_2022-12-22_16-50-53.png

    I must have missed the existence of this 12 days of Mastery thing, despite being on the forum daily and getting other updates elsewhere. It may be me not paying attention or the confusion created by DTG running what appears to be many separate promotional activities across multiple different platforms that led to this. It seems to me that unless you are a member of all the social media platforms, follow DTG and/or TSW3 and/or Train Simulator on them all, and subscribe to the Chatham Parish Council newsletter, and bump into Matt or JD in the pub and pay very close attention to all of it 24 hours a day then it is impossible to spot everything that’s going on. The first time I notice this Mastery activity is the reports that it isn’t working. No prizes given for spotting a ‘Mastery doesn’t work thread’ that would be too easy :D

    I managed to complete it after playing a scenario on Peninsula Corridor, however Tier 10 unlocked with progress in Tier 9 being 0/1.
    Update: Tier 11 unlocked correctly after completing Tier 10 (which displayed as 1/1 atleast) after completing an empty freight train on East Coastway.

    Hey guys, I've been completing the 12 days of xmas event on my Play Station 5 and I have successfully obtained all Tiers from Tier 1 up untill Tier 11 just now, but I've been having a problem with Tier 5 because I already have the Tier 5 snow decal, but it's not counting my 8 kilometers that I am still trying to do. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to fix this issue and am I the only person here having this issue with Tier 5 specifically???

    Thank You
    Atze.

    Funny enough I'm having this issue with Tier 5 for me, not Tier 6 surprisingly for me if you're having that issue with Tier 6 which is very weird.

    Well... Tier 11 still says "Unlocks 23rd December" but... It's 23rd December as i write this. The pic below the mastery tile is my clock as i send this btw. (Update after more than 8 hours: It's unlocked, however the description was not edited which is a bit misleading for me.)

    These mastery's are locked until we turn them on manually, so I believe it's not the system being broken as it is just waiting on our team to activate them each day :)

    I hope it will get activated sometime today because it's for the 23rd December, right?
    Update: It feels like the Tier 12 will not be unlockable due to Tier 11 still saying "Unlocks 23rd December" way too late. Tho i hope Tier 12 will actually be unlockable, we want the Xmas Training Centre, right?

    Gents, open SKW and do a tutorial scenario. Shortest path to completing the task.
    I was able to get completion even though it said "Unlocks December 23".
    See if it works for you too.

    Hmm... So it's unlocked but it still says "Unlocks 23rd December"? Imma do a random service on Hamburg to Lubeck route and see if it works.

    Can confirm this worked for me, no longer shows the (Unlocks on...) text, literally just ran the opening tutorial on SKW, where all you do is place a route map then sit on the train.

    Surprised it worked TBH, as usually I have found that replaying any previously completed timetable or scenario in an attempt to complete a Mastery reward just didn't work, at least, that was the case on TSW2, Mastery seems to be far more stable on TSW3 in my experience thus far.

    LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!
    After completing a service on Hamburg Lubeck (service is called as 89408 Preparation btw), Tier 12 got unlocked while Tier 11 says "Unlocks 23rd December"!
    upload_2022-12-23_19-55-19.png
    So it seems like that they forgot to just change the description of the tile.

    I think I saw this while playing TSW2 on XSX. I've completed every task for this Mastery on TSW3 on PC, and the TSW2 version is confused. Using the same Dovetail Live account for both.

    Guess what, my hopes are correct as i have all the decals as i speak, only the most important thing (the Training Centre Xmas decorations) is missing for me.

    It appears this issue isn't just confined to the 12 days mastery. I'm on PS5 and it seems to be affecting route mastery also.

    There might obviously be more stuff hidden around the whole map, but I only had the chance to quickly check out the main building.

    Can't you disable the reward and check to see if it was there before?

    Just checked a video, and it was there before. Apologies for the confusion, have removed the reference from my original comment.

    PS5 player here. I’ve completed all tasks on this Mastery and they are all ticked off in the list except the Tier 1 task, which I have obviously completed, and therefore all 12 Tier rewards are still locked because the first one hasn’t unlocked and they unlock sequentially.

    This matches my experience on other Mastery tasks on other routes, some of which show that I have completed the tasks but the reward still appears locked out. It’s very odd, but not surprising, and I am owed many rewards that I just can’t access. As some rewards are route elements (not bothered about decals for liveries) I think that it is a poor show that Mastery still doesn’t work properly. It never has, because it interfaces with the flaky Dovetail Live (see also Creators Club not working well at all), and in my opinion it should be discontinued and some other mechanism inside the game should be used for rewards that appear in the routes themselves.

    If I can’t unlock the Jeep in the Elf route then I will be very annoyed. I haven’t driven the full distance yet and am dreading doing so just in case Mastery doesn’t work there either, Watch this space for either my delight or a rant at some point in the future.
