Monthly Masteries

It's down for maintenance https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/mastery-down-for-essential-maintenance.98299/

 

Ah, so Preston-Crewe has three mastery tiers. Nice.

Also: the mastery menu in the game seems to be working better than before. I wonder if that is because of the maintenance last week..

 

Am I reading correctly that existing threads like this one will continue to exist and we can still post in them? I surely hope so, as this is my favourite thread of all time..

 

Oh, and more goals like this please

 

Would anyone else like to see the monthly mastery badges they've achieved shown in a tab/page in the Mastery Rewards as posters and scenery tiles are treated rather than disappear each month?

I know they are available as objects in livery designer but not much use there to most players I guess.

 

Yes!

 

I think they will be retained in an archive but read only. Another example of positive (even when it messes up) and progressive gameplay discussion being snuffled by this decision DTG JD .

 

I believe Jan's message stated that you can keep posting in existing threads..

 

Well that’s something I guess.

 

The bit that confuses me is they state 'removal' of general discussion - so where would these existing threads sit to post in. I have tagged Harry for clarity on the main thread.

 

i rlly hope this forum post will stay its the place i always check when i wanna know what the new monthly challenges are

 

alr good news the general discussion forum wont be deleted! anyway since its almost july what can we expect to see for new challenges from dtg?

 

Make some challenging as well last few have been to easy.

 

How about compete 30 guard modes

 

I will hunt you down and kick your butt jokingly

 

Or 75 collectibles!

For Tier 2, I wouldn't object to a bit of mileage accumulation this time round - at least 800km/500 miles.

 

Make it 1000 miles that would be a challenge.

 

For this, I have a god mod and short 10-minute runs. I hope that's enough.

 

This is the one month where I hope the challenges won't be too hard. Will be on holiday for almost three weeks... Hopefully I can get a flying start on Wednesday

 

Likewise, I would hope DTG wouldn't set too much of a challenge during peak holiday season (July & August).

 

July 2026:

Tier 1:

• I would have done it in july: Complete a Scenario with a temperature above 5ºC/41ºF.
• I'm an Engineer and I'm OK: Complete 4 timetables.

Tier 2:

• I Am Speed: Complete 5 Scenarios or Timetables after reaching 100mph/160Kph.
• According To The Map, We've Only Gone Four Inches: Drive 250miles/402Km.
• Time Well Spent: Play for 2 hours, but it only counts if you successfully complete the Scenario/Timetable.

 

Don't need to unlock to get them

Tier 1:

• I'm An Engineer And I'm Okay: Complete 4 Timetables
• I Would Have Done It In July: Complete a Scenario with a temperature above 5°C / 41°F

Tier 2:

• I Am Speed: Complete 5 Scenarios or Timetables after reaching 100mph / 160kph
• According To The Map, We've Only Gone Four Inches: Drive 250 miles / 402km
• Time Well Spent: Play for 2 Hours, but it only counts if you successfully complete the Scenario/Timetable

 

That is pleasant enough for July, though would prefer as always a slightly more meaty distance challenge. I’m assuming the two hour challenge can be over several sessions, doesn’t have to be finished in one go?

 

Yep.

 

For the 160kmh timetable, I used the Frankfurt-Hanau services with the BR 411 on Frankfurt-Fulda.15-17 minutes and the part between Offenbach and Hanau has a long enough stretch with a 160kmh speed limit.

 

Oh and a totally bug-free monthly mastery on day one. Nice.
