Guild Wars 2

So now that we have repeatable Hearts in Ember Bay and they count for map completion does that mean we can finish them again every day for completion reward and a chance for a Key (because the map “resets”)?

Edit: Fully discovered Ember Bay map becomes 87% the next day after the repeatable Heart reset. BUG???

No. Just as with every other map, you only get the map completion rewards once per map per character.

Yeah…I think Rose and I were replying at the same time…my post got rejected…lol..I thin we almost broke the Forums…:)

But Rose is on it, 100%.

Aw. :c Then my Ember Bay completion should stay at 100% because I find it annoying that it got lower when I logged in today and I don’t feel like doing the Hearts again, lol… Thanks for the answer.

It dropped below 100%? I find that weird if they won’t let you get a reward for achieving 100% again…it should stay at 100%, even if the Hearts reset.

When they added new hearts to the starters maps it dropped below 100% but doing those hearts didn’t get you map rewards. Is probably easier to do it that way than to keep it 100% even if the hearts are not done.

Yes, I finished Ember Bay completion yesterday and now it’s at 87%. I don’t even care about the rewards anymore, but I have 100% on every single map because I’m a completionist (at least when it comes to maps) so I find this annoying. XD

I did not all hearts yesterday. Now I don’t know the missing ones for 100%.

Ok, all five hearts again today (no problem)

Ember Bay doesn’t count for wold map completion, nor does Dry Top, Silverwastes, or the 4 HoT maps. Only core Tyria does. So unless they add something new to the core maps (like they added some renowned hearts to the starter zones a while back), you won’t lose world map completion.

We are not talking about world map completion. Every single map has a reward and percentage.

What was the point of resetting hearts ?

A repeatable gold/karma source. Plus, it allows said karma vendors to have a once-a-day item to sell to players (the 3 petrified woods).

I hate to sound harsh to the OP, but you’re going to have to let your OCD completionist writhe in agony. Short of the hearts changing colour after finally completing the map, I don’t think there’s a good strategy to fix your itchy trigger finger. The fire islands are in a corner of the map, anyway. Just don’t look there.

The problem here of course is that for someone like me who has a lot of alts if the 100% keeps on dropping each day it may be hard to keep track of/remember which of my alts have done this map fully and received the map reward.

They need SOMETHING there on the map UI to give us this info. Either keep the % at 100% if you have done it once and got the reward or have a message saying something like “map complete rewarded”.

This map while still new needs a fair bit of polish and this is just 1 example of that.

The devs are aware of the map completion reset issue and I’m sure it will get resolved soon.

Not looking there doesn’t help, because we know it’s there. That’s the torture. Hopefully a color change for repeating the hearts is on the way.

Tuesday 20, the day when the new build came, I started my LS3-2 and arrived to Ember Bay, I did a few PoI’s, some vistas and some Hearts too, in order to fullfil the task for the Story NPC’s. Then, LS3-2 sent my out of Ember Bay and I just left the map without complet the 100%.

Wednesday I finished my story and went back to Ember Bay to 100% mapping. Surprisiely I found my (previously done) Hearts undone. Asking to some guildies, they explain me what ANet did and all good. I did the Hearts again and (I think it was the only one I left undone) completed Circus too. Finished a Vista and then 3 PoI’s… and then I was not rewarded for the 100% Ember Bay map even I did in that moment.

Thursday I started LS3-2 with other of my girls (one of my other PC’s) and then, when I arrived to Ember Bay I just decided to make 100% map without leave the place. When i did the 100%, I got reward.

Not sure if any other people have the same experience as I, but if you arrive to Ember Bay, do the 100% map before leave is my advice.

I’ll have to try tonight Leon, I was sick on Tuesday, got 1 character to EB, did 2 hearts and logged off after an hour, last night I took my mes there and attempted the JP, but the first character I got there should get 100% if I fully complete EB tonight.

I’m sure if you feel you haven’t gotten the Map Completion reward, you could open up a support ticket and they could look to verify if that character had received the reward. We all know new areas sometimes have hiccups…so that would be the direction I woudl go if I thought I did not get the reward.

There are a bunch of other vendors in game (Marjory, Marjory’s assistant, wintersday gift and various fractal merchants) that reset daily without resetting anything else.

I completed Ember Bay yesterday. This morning Ember Bay map completion shows 87% and all 5 Heart were reset to Zero. I knew the hearts would reset but the 87% completion was a surprise. (Knowing Anet, it should not have been)

Oh well, I’ve completed Ember Bay once, and that’s enough!

Yeah, it might be a bug. I definitely don’t want to do the Hearts again, haha…

There is a new app that lets you keep track of all sorts of things, in game and out.

I would love it, too, if the map continued to show 100% completion once you achieve that even after the hearts reset for the day. Seems the most logical solution to me.
