Guild Wars 2

A day of peace in WvWvW for those working on Map Completion.

If removing WvWvW poi’s, vistas’s and skill ups from the Map Completion is not possible. Can we get a day or two of peace with no combat? Or maybe a temporary non-combat server for a Map Completion run. Many ways to give those on a server that is not dominating WvWvW a chance to complete the map.

That sounds like a good idea, and this could also be used for if guild members want to go there to do some planning ahead of time for the next WvWvW battle.

I was in a non dominating server when i get my completion. Everyday I looked for some points and every friday when WvW resets i run to get what i can. Being in a non dominating server is even easyier because you enter in the maps almost instantly.

I miss 1-2 Poi to complete the achievement but i don’t mind.
The idea of competing for that achievement is even better!
But a day of peace will make my life easier
As long as this is not happening every day will be nice
Once per month for example will be awesome for like 12 hours

Map completion is only needed for Legendary weapons. These are weapons that are cosmetic only. They are meant to be hard work.

I see no reason to make them easier. If you want a Legendary, you need to either form a group to get you access to the tricky POI/Vistas, or you need to keep checking on the state of WvW waiting till the ones you want are available to you.

How about we make all of the enemies in the game allies for a day too so we can explore everything while we’re at it? But then the people who missed that day would complain so lets make it a whole month.

Sarcasm aside, you should just get the parts of the map you can get to, and check often to see where your server has pushed the line of battle. You might have to wait until WvW resets and your team is a different color or fighting an easier battle, but you’ll find that WvW exploration is actually fairly easy if you take it slow.

PS Make sure to join the battle while you’re there if there’s a big battle nearby. The more players who help out, the more map your server will be able to claim.

Maybe on international peace day or something.

You switch map/sides every time so every 3 weeks you can have a character completed, dont see how this causes you any problems at all….

I think a day of peace would be fun lore wise, however I don’t really like them being used as a way to get map completion.

Called Eternal Battle Grounds for a reason.

To take away the requirement of doing it during war times would cheapen all those who achieved map completion already.

I was thinking much the same earlier, though not for the sake of map completion but just exploration purposes. When my boyfriend and I were exploring the eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle ‘Obsidian Sanctum’ for the first time (truthfully, more out of curiosity than for loot) we had to time it so that we would have a fighting chance to get past the first bit. This shouldn’t be as hard as it is, but our server atm is so severely overrun, that whenever we enter WvW we almost always have ‘outmanned’ and in more than one instance we have had no castles. Anyway, we had gotten to the part where you have to rely on torches to light the path and at that point, most people were civil regardless of sides. Even when torches accidentally hit the opposing side, no-one attacked and everyone helped eachother. That was the case until a more experienced player (I say this because they managed to get through the area w/o a torch at all) decided to attack en masse. I thought this was terribly unfair as not only was this one of the first times we were even able to make it that far, it ruined the fun completely. Though I do recognise that this is the nature of these jumping puzzles! (heck, there are traps in place to prevent people behind you from getting as far as you).

In short, I agree, there should be a day of peace in WvW.

…but failing that, could the mechanics for costume brawl be utilised in this instance? For example, entering WvW in a ‘time out’, with no weapon skills (so you can’t randomly turn and attack) and invulnerability (so you can’t be attacked). In order to reset this mode, perhaps one would have to return to the home base (to avoid infiltration on a massive scale, which would make it unfair for everyone involved). I do recognise the potential problems that could occur from this, especially in terms of map completion and simply being unrealistic (especially if you’re getting a skill point in the Stonemist castle during a fight). It might become unbalanced. So, I propose such mechanics may only be available for jumping puzzles or places where there are no major fights for territory going on.

Or just have players affected by this not be loaded for other server players, it would cut down on the culling issue in WvW, and if you have to return to far beyond where enemies can reach to return to normal fighting it’s quite a good idea.

No you don’t. There are complaints in the WvWvW sub-forum about match ups being the exact same for going on 7+weeks. That means the starting positions haven’t rotated either.

I’ve got one VP left on the center borderlands map. I’m done with the right-hand map.

I’m about 50-75% done with the left-hand map and only 33% done with the Eternal Battlegrounds.

When I’m done, I don’t plan on stepping foot back into WvWvW. I don’t even step into PvP.
