I used to use something like
/usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2+
to increase/decrease volume but it seems to have stopped working after update and changing to GNOME3 from XFCE 4.10. Same in terminal, has the syntax changed?

What's the output?
I get
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 31
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [-12.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [-12.00dB] [on]
$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 31
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21 [68%] [-15.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21 [68%] [-15.00dB] [on]and it seems to work (I'm not using GNOME).
Edit: This should work in the console too. Try booting to console and running it before starting GNOME.

In the console:
[jiewmeng@JM Nodebook]$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]
[jiewmeng@JM Nodebook]$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]notice theres no change ... 33%. Oh then I did Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go into console. Then did the same with same results. Then did with sudo and it worked. It worked b4 without sudo? Maybe I messed up something? Btw, this happened after I did `sudo pacman -Syyu gnome`. Maybe it changed some config? Or maybe its the upgrades?

It did change by 2, as you wanted: 21533 -> 21531 (Front Left / Right: Playback).
I have no idea why you have such high values. Are you sure the output is the same when you run it with sudo?

If I do it in the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2, tty?) I have the command work as expected. However when I do so in the (XFCE) terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T), I get those high values.
UPDATE
Fixed by doing 2%+ instead of 2+
