Guild Wars 2

1) I cannot determine from the World map IF I completed an area UNLESS I am in that area!

I have five characters. I switch between them. Unless I start keeping off-game paper records, I cannot remember which areas which characters have completed. The Game map is useless.

2) Add “Zone Gate Markers” to World map.

In GW1 one could look at the map and see a white spiral indicating a gate into another area/ instance. This simple function is lacking in the current game.

When I am exploring and find a gate into another area, I run through and get the way point so it will be on my map. Often skill points and points of interest will also appear.

Again, I have five characters. I switch around a lot. So when I am near to completion of an area and see open skill challenges and undiscovered points of interest I cannot determine if those are ones I am lacking in the current area or if they are in fact in a new area.

“Zone Gate Markers” on the map would be very useful.

I think the addition of a progress bar for each area on the World map (without entering, right below the area name) would be extremely convenient. For someone working toward 100% completion, it’s extremely annoying to have to enter an area that you might not have finished just to check, then leave again.

Or perhaps not even a progress bar, just a little symbol indicating completion after/next to each name.

I don’t really have a comment on the first thing, but the second definitely needs to happen, especially on the mini map. I get tired trying to remember where on the map edges the zone portals are.

I agree with the first point entirely. Particularly when I’m in a mood for one type of gameplay or another. If I want to go skill point hunting for example, knowing what zones I’ve already maxed in skill challenges would be nice.

The second one I would see as an option to display markers. Not seeing the zone is something of a bit of immersion. I would like to see zones that aren’t rectangular too.

I’d like to add that marking out the effective area of an incomplete task would be nice. I find myself occasionally wandering outside of the effective area and not getting credit for some kills and etc.

yes, please implement.
