Guild Wars 2

That’ll come in handy. The start you get next to you name could do.

That would make easier checking which areas you have left while zoomed out.

Also, when you are inside a zone you have 100%, you could get a silver star like the golden one you get when you got 100% worldwide, so players can see you completed that area and bothe… I mean… as you for your guidance.

I agree with this. I don’t really care how it’s implemented, but I’d love to have an easier way to know which zones I’ve finished than relying on my own memory.

I know there’s a list of zones in the achievements panel to tell me how complete they are, but since achievements are account-wide, I just have to remember which ones ’ve completed or not on THIS character.

I want this feature

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but when you open a map for a zone, it has a list of what is needed for completion, along with how many you have/how many are in zone.

I did like the icons you’d get on the map in GW1 as you completed missions, got the bonus objectives, and then did hard modes and vanquishing. Good idea, OP.

This is something that really needs to be put in, it’s simple and would be very helpful.

It would not be a stretch, as GW1 had this feature.

Must have this.

I like this, and also that Icon could then serve as your 1 click (free?) tp to that zone. This allows for the map completion TP reward a described in previous suggestions.

@daemonlama.5413 – If there were no WP costs, then it would just be annoying to find zones that are not 100% completed. But as it stands now, if you have not kept track of your 100%‘s, it’s annoying AND very costly.

> To state the obvious, until they add the icons, everyone should record their 100%’s, to save themselves a lot of grief.

+1. I support this idea.

I definitely agree with this. I’m sitting at ~80% completion and it’s at the point where I’ve forgotten some of the zones that I’ve completed. Being able to tell at a glance on the map what’s done and what’s not would be such a small feature that would save quite a bit of time and a decent amount of silver.

Better yet, under the area’s name (or when hovering over the name with your mouse) show Points of Interest, Vistas, Hearts and Way Points with their #/# as well as the total percent. We just need the information we have access to when we are in an area when we aren’t in the area.

+1 for ArenaNet response.

+1 id love to have this.

Personally as I do not leave a zone until it is 100% and have so managed to avoid any bugged challenges I do not need this to indicate what I have left to do. However, as you tell I am a bit of a competionidt so for me that icon would be like a well done on the map and would just make me happy! So more than one reason to implement a great idea!

+1 Yes, yes and yes! We would like this.

+1 I like the idea, though I’m more like Erin on this topic.

Additional idea:
What I’d like to add is maybe something to make the upper and lower layers a bit more easily visible. For me they look exactly like the middle layer, only darker. My hope in this is to make the explorer achievement a little bit less tricky.
It would also help those who have trouble finding points of interests underground.

On my Norn I have all Maguuma and Shiverpeaks maps on 100% but I am still missing 3 and 2 regions if I look at the explorer achievement tab. The maps are no indication of where those might be hiding out.
You can look up in the wiki which vistas, hearts, poi and skill challenges you have and which ones you don’t, but with regions you can’t. So they could be anywhere between Wayfarer Hills to Frostgorge Sound.

I agree with this. I love the satisfaction of seeing an area completed by an icon, also it will be helpful.

One concern for this though:
Will it include EVERYTHING the map has to offer? Or just the typical skill points, vistas, PoI, waypoints and quests?
There are other things like fog discovery, jumping puzzles and hidden areas to take into account.

IMO it makes the most sense to get the icon when you get the completion chest. The jumping puzzles are meant to be mysterious.

Oh ok I see now. Thanks. That seems like a good idea.

+1 for a great idea. And hopefully with that, discounted waypoint travel to areas 100% discovered…

+1. Seems like a great idea. Would love to see this getting implemented.

I’d prefer a visible border around the completed region. But the exact implementation doesn’t matter, only that we get some marker on the world map.

+1 for this. My OCD demands it

This is a good idea

Would be very helpful, +1

+1. Yes, please.

Thumbs up! Been thinking about something like this!

This sure would cut down on travelling expenses. It’s either this or frequent waypoint miles Anet :P

+1 i love this idea

I was going to start a thread until i found this, its just building off the idea of an icon for completion, when viewing world map able to see what your missing in each zone by putting your mouse over it or something? with bugged Skill points and not doing zones besides wvw forgetting unfinished zones sitting at 95% with 1 untouched zone and few unfinished due to bugs but not 100% sure every zone is finished. sure others feel the same.
