Guild Wars 2

Getting 100% world exploration is something most people will pursue at some time in GW2. As such they have to go through the ordeal of reaching all the POIs and Vistas in WvW.

That’s all fine and dandy.

But I don’t comprehend why it is not possible to reach some of these points without owning the respective fortress/keep. In fact, it almost forces players to use server transfers to reach some of these points in a heavily fortified areas that they will never have access to otherwise.

Servers with weak WvW performances will have an even harder time getting these.

I really don’t understand the reasoning here.

If you have to hide all these points and Vistas in random fortresses at least give people away to reach them without owning the respective fortresses.

Creates a challenge. End of story.

If you could just walk to it, it wouldn’t be fun, nor difficult. And it would for sure not show any real achievement.

It is not possible to reach these items because the area is filled with enemies… is that what you are asking?

So let’s ruin WvW by removing ALL NPCs so that people who aren’t even there to WvW and help out can get their stupid 100% completion a little more easily.

No, it’s not challenging to walk up to a specific point on a map.

It’s just luck that you happen to be online if and when your server ever owns thay specific keep. It’s also totally inconsistent with the rest of the exploration, which is not challenging either.

There is really no good argument to defend the way things currently are.

But hey…as long as server transfers are free….at least there’s a workaround.

I think there should be a “WvW Explorer Tonic” that you could buy that would turn you into a skill free “NPC” that is unable to be attacked or attack himself. Or some other thing that would indeed make you completely useless though invulnerable/untargetable so you can explore WvW in peace.

I agree that exploration isn’t mostly challenging, at least in the “have to kill X mobs” way. Sure some PoIs are heavily fortified camps but you can just run in and get it. I don’t understand why WvW should be challenging to explore – to play, yes. To explore – no. Orr is hard and annoying to explore because of DEs making a lot of Wps contested and because there is a lot of mobs, but WvW is just ridiculous.

This annoys the crap out of me, but I can see that it is an extra challenge to get them. Although, putting skill points you need deep in enemy territory is a bit silly I think.

The only advice I can really give is to jump on WvW every day and see if there’s anything your server have that you don’t own. I popped on and by sheer chance we held Stonemist Castle.
