Guild Wars 2

Just finished all my zones! Time to see soon enough what everyone is crying about them wvw map completion.

Getting 100% WvW is just a wait and pray game.

Its only bad if you don’t enjoy WvW. Or your server is constantly losing :x I feel bad for the people stuck on the low end servers that are going for completion.

If you don’t like to play WvW, this will be hard. I have 100% in all WvW zones, but only about 30% overall But even for me, who plays WvW almost exclusively, it took a while to get it done.

Especially the vistas in the main keeps of each borderland or eternal bgs take their while, as they are usually well defended and don’t get flipped too often.
But you can always wait for the next week and hope that your server will start from a different point and now all these keeps are yours

But I agree with those saying that having WvW in map completion was not a very good design decision. Forcing people to take part in something they don’t enjoy, is never good in a game.

Im in yaks bend. Know if Theyre doing any good? Id check somehow but not near comp anymore.

Five people and Ventrilo is all you need.

As of now, they are leading their bracket. So you might get lucky and get a lot of your completion done in one sweep http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

Heh I am stuck at 99% with only 1 Vista left in WvWvW (the one in fort in blue borderlands). Just waiting for next shift so my side will own the fort by default.
Note: I am no WvWvW hardcore player and found it relatively easy to get it done.

Ooh I’m in Yak’s Bend as well We are winning last I checked, but not by a lot. About 12k points ahead of CD, the map is split pretty evenly among all three servers as well. So you can probably get 33% of your WvW done if it keeps up like this.

Ah Thats awsome

when i did my completion on 2 characters, our servers position on the map was swapped weekly with each rotation, so we were blue in week 1, red in the next week, green in week 3, and then again blue. I must have missed something in the patch notes but it seems we were always blue now for the last 2 or 3 weeks. If this doesnt change regularly anymore, completing wvw 100% could become a real pain.

The colour doesn’t change arbitrarily, but it’s related to your starting position in the bracket. green is the first place, blue second and red third. So, you’re server was always in the second slot of its respective bracket in recent weeks, if it was always the “blue server”.

look here for more information: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

You can see that the topmost server of each bracket is always green, the second blue, and so on.

Yeah I really wish they would arbitrarily change the colors for the folks wishing to get map completion.
Or at the very least move the poi’s to the gates of the keeps and make vistas out in the open and not within a keep.
It was a novel idea to force people into WvW and it worked to get more interest in that part of the game but now we have expensive server transfers.
I have had all open world zones completely finished for 2 months now and still haven’t finished WvW maps. I didn’t want to transfer to finish them and our server rarely changes colors. When I go to WvW I run with small groups and sometimes the more massive zerg getting the poi’s as we go. There has to be a fix to make this just a smidge easier to finish.

So Im back now. Im at 97% did yaks bend and majority of battlegrounds. I learned the basics of wvw which was actually realllly fun. I am upset though because i Cant finish my map completion due to crystal and storm controls over keeps. Now i see what people were yelling about. I shall join them!

That’s the spirit! Glad you enjoy wvw. I very much enjoy it and didn’t mind the wait for my last few points, took about a month I believe because we were up against the same servers for several weeks and couldn’t capture specific keeps.

I recently got 100% on a second character, and this time around it was a lot harder, but also a lot more satisfying. It got me involved in WvW and taught me how to play it. The thrill when I finally got the final skillpoint in Stonemist was fantastic, as was my final vista in the red team’s forward EB fortress. It felt like I really deserved them, and I had gotten to recognise a lot of the WvW community on my server.
I’d held towers alone against zergs, narrowly escaping at the last minute;
I’d taken countless supply depots in enemy territory with small guerilla raids, attempting to divert a massive opposing enemy force’s attention.
I’d been in tens of zergs sieging towers.
All of that was a lot more engaging than repeating ANY scripted content.

The first time round, it was still within 2 weeks of launch, so server transfers were still free and instant. Getting the WvW components meant nothing as no effort was required.

^^^ I feel ya mungrul.

Im at 99% now, Hoping Yaks can pull some strings and get the lower areas of the battlegrounds, that would be wonderful! Caped a few keeps today with some good commanders, so that was really enjoyable. I also feel like I will enjoy it more working for these final vistas.
