Guild Wars 2

I like to complete games, and there is something with GW2 map that annoys me a bit:

There is no way to know if you discovered every area in the map, so someties I’m left wondering if there is some cool event that I’m missing because of this (later I give an example of a very cool/nostalgic area+event that you can miss because of this).

I completed some months ago the Been There, Done That title, but that title covers Points of Interests and not areas.

I also have each “area discovering” achievement, but after gaining all of them, while doing jumping puzzles and explorer achievements, there were new areas uncovered in the process, which means that doing 100% of the area discovering titles (krytan explorer, ascalon explorer, etc…) doesn’t mean you completed the full map.

Now I finished every jumping puzzle and eplorer achievement, and I’m still wondering if I did every area.

I know at least one area that isn’t very obvious to find, that doesn’t have anything for “map completion”, and doesn’t hold any jumping puzzle or explorer achievement: the area were you revive GW1 fight against the demagogue and the White Mantle which as a GW1 player was an awesome discovery. This area is in the side of a map, needs you to take an specific route, while big isn’t an obvious blurr spot in the map and there is no way to count it as it doesn’t have anything counting for any title, and probably there are more areas in this situation.

I think the best solution would be to either make areas count for map completion title or make every area count for the “krytan explorer, ascalon explorer, etc…” achievements. This way we can be sure if we explored 100% of the game or not. As it is right now, it’s impossible to tell (and there is no way a player is going to count one by one every area discovered in the map and compare them with the wiki map).

That would be nice. Though for a quick fix- I would make sure that you found something of interest at every POI. They aren’t just there for the giggles (well, some may be, but not most)- there is supposedly SOMETHING interesting at that location. Jumping puzzle, event, whatever. I’d start rechecking all those POIs you dont remember being very interesting.

The area I said doesn’t have any POI and no way to be counted on achievements and I considered it VERY interesting :P Still many players will have that area as a blur on their map because there is no way to tell if you completed it. When I started completing JP and EA, I got even more new areas without a POI and I already had the every “krytan/ascalon/shiverpeaks…” explorer title.
