Guild Wars 2

7 characters
4 lvl 80’s
4 100% exploration

4 times is my absolute limit… don’t have it in me to do it again, ever.

I have 8 characters. 2 haven’t started yet. 4 are 80, 2 on the way (a 52 and 64-ish).

2 of the 80s have it, and 5 of the characters managed to get the WvW stuff done back when I was on servers and had populations where it wasn’t too hard to do. The 2 new characters, and sadly my 80 Thief, have not done the WvW, and probably won’t get a chance to without some drastic changes in how that all works. I’d love to get the 100% done next on my Thief, she’s one of my favorites to play.

So, I’ll probably finish map completion for those who managed to get the WvW in, and forgo it on those that never got it done.

20 Characters
13 Level 80s
1 with 100% Map Completion
9 with 100% PvE Map Completion. No force could compel me to map WvW again, and I deeply regret the time I wasted on the first one. Since I didn’t buy the Gift of Battle before they added a mandatory WvW rank to it, my Gifts of Exploration are worthless.

12 Characters
6 level 80s, almost 7
1 map completion 100%

My motivation is 1 transmutation charge per zone completion. In order to get enough charges to accommodate my alts wardrobes I need to get map completion on each of my alts.

Map completion does not require PvP in any way. It just requires you to be able to get into keeps in WvW over a period of time. You don’t actually have to participate in any way.

8 characters at 80
ZERO at 100% completion, specifically because of WvW. Not for lack of trying. I’m down to 5 bits of one map, in some borderland. >_<

It really stinks that my server gave up entirely on WvW.

I don’t mind it being part of the achievement, in theory, but in execution, making a personal reward dependent on a massive effort of 50+ people just isn’t fair. (…I could equally be talking about to beat-Lyssa trait unlocks, come to think of it.)

8 characters (1 per class)
5 @ 80
4 have 100%
working on the fifth.

- 8 characters
- 5 level 80s
- 1 world completion 100%

I wanted the title and star and sense of accomplishment. I don’t see myself getting another 100% unless I favor an alt so heavily in open world that I just happen to get close by default. If I notice that I’m 85% or more in a zone I usually finish it cuz the rewards are worth it. Main cities are worth getting 100% now for the xmute charges.

9 characters, of which 6 are 80s
Only 1 (first char) has 100% map completion.

2 level 80s
55% map complete
over 1000 hours clocked.

Im not a fan of running around marking things off a checklist and i don’t have the energy to level other toons.

I regretted wasting my ill gotten gains on the gift of battle at the time, I bought two before I realized I could have purchased some skins, but now I’m glad cause I would also never have earned them otherwise.

Map completion does not require PvP in any way

It just requires you to spend a tremendous amount of time in zones where other players are trying very hard to kill you. That sure sounds like PvP to me. Maybe I’m crazy.

Well, still, the world map has:
301 Hearts
512 Waypoints
727 Points of Interest
202 Skill Points
266 Vistas

Add all that up and you have 2008 objectives, multiply by 18 and you get 36144 objectives, thats a 7 minute window of your total play time between each!

10 characters
7 level 80s
1 map completion ( 2 others have 100% in WvW so will probably get them map completion also)

3 Characters
1 level 80
and 1 100% map completion (my level 80)

I found it difficult to get motivated on an alt, and do map completion and leveling, as I’ve already been there, done that.

Not PvPing doesn’t mean being an idiot in a PvP enabled area. It just means being wary and running away when you see red names. That’s how I did it.

I have 9 characters, all are level 80, 4 times map completion just for Gift of Exploration

Stalvros.9217:

Just wanted to know the stats :p.

State;
- Number of toons you have
- Number of lvl80 chars you have
- Number of 100% map completion you have

Here’s mine
- 10 toons
- 9 lvl80
- only 2 has 100% map completion
(Still trying to find the motivation to complete 100% on all)

100% on all? Whoa why? Unless you LOVE playing all them that much there isn’t a reason to go that far lol… that’s a ton of work.

Personally I have 7 80s, 2 with map completion. Never gotten an engineer to 80, that class just doesn’t click with me I guess.

Not PvPing doesn’t mean being an idiot in a PvP enabled area. It just means being wary and running away when you see red names. That’s how I did it.

But that is, by definition, part of PvP.

Clearly, my story was not to be taken literally. But the fact that you have to run away and hide, lest you be killed by other players – that is part of what defines PvP (or WvW, at any rate, whatever you want to call it: where other people, i.e., non-computer controlled opponents, are your enemy).

I don’t remember ever shooing rabbits away from water melons at the farm in Queensdale, and saw others approaching and though, “Holy smokes, I better run and hide!”

6 lvl 80’s all with 100% map completion.

Just started working on my engineer & ranger is next. I dont start a new character until the last one has 100% completion.

Wow! Hardcore!!

I have 8 characters, one for each profession.
All of them are level 80.
2 of them have 100% world completion. My ele and my engineer, my two favourite characters.

I completed WvW “in advance” on my mesmer, in case I ever want to do another world completion, but at the moment PvE exploration is lacking the challenge for me. After leveling eight characters I’ve seen pretty much everything there is to see as well, so the wonder of exploration has passed.

Now I focus on WvW and PvP until they decide to expand the world map =)

Being in a zone and having to be aware of the rules that apply to that zone isn’t the same as participating. Participation involves interaction. Running away is not interacting, it is quite the opposite of interacting. It is avoiding interaction.

8 characters (7 at 80)
3 have 100% and no intention of doing any more

There’s really no point to doing it more than once unless you’re farming multiple Legendary. It’s so boring after the first time and tbh, I kind of regret wasting the time doing it multiple times.
The character I have as “main” now is lvl80 and only has 7% map complete with no intention of getting her any more than that.

0 Completion

Level 80s include
Necro -87%
Guardian (main) – 54%
Ranger – 24%
Engineer – 24%

I’m pretty impressed on how little of the game you have to do to reach level 80.

On my highest character, I’m missing all the main cities besides Divinity’s reach, Metrica Province, Brisbane Wildlands, Caledon Forrest, Plains of Ashford, and Diessa Plateau. I have absolutely no interest in doing these, and Brisbane Wildlands I’ve only entered. I’m mostly a wvw player, so my complaints are exactly the opposite of the pvers who don’t want to wvw, yet somehow I sympathize. :S

Symantecs.

It’s an environment where other people can actively and directly (vs some ‘indirect’ methods which crop up from time to time in this game and others that are then exploited indefinitely, or until they are corrected) impede you trying to accomplish a task. That is PvP, whether you ‘actively’ engage them in return is irrelevant.

In PvE, no play can actively impede your progress on a task, and it’s generally discouraged.

13 toons.

None of this changes the fact that it is possible to get 100% world completion without participating in PvP. It isn’t guaranteed, but it is possible. Those who don’t like to PvP, like me, can still go into WvW and get all the objectives without PvPing. It may take longer and is harder, but it’s possible.

You can throw your own semantics (a technicality, rather than a company) at me, but it doesn’t change the truth of what I’m saying, nor the point of why I first brought it up.

Not PvPing doesn’t mean being an idiot in a PvP enabled area. It just means being wary and running away when you see red names. That’s how I did it.

That’s PvPing. Being in a PvP zone, where players are trying to kill other players, and some of them will try to kill you, is PvP, whether or not you encounter them. If you evade them, it’s just shifted the medium of conflict to stealth and detection instead of directly hurling pixels at each other’s HP.

The only way to enter WvW and not have PvP happen is if you know the other two servers are down. If the only players who can potentially be on the map are non-hostile, that’s not PvP. Again, even if you never see another player, just the potential that they’re out there changes the gameplay experience. It is PvP, and it is inescapable.

None yet, but working on 100% with my Guardian.
I just finished all of the starter zones and Black Citadel. Moving up to the 15-25 zones now!

Edit: Forgot to add… I have 4 characters. 37 Guardian, 10 Elementalist, 4 Thief and 2 Engineer.

Only 1 character, so, easy to say, 100% map completion.

7 chars
1 100%

I could see doing vistas/POIs/WPs again but I don’t think I’ll ever have the desire to re-do heart quests across the map.

10 characters
9 that are level 80
4 that have 100% explore stars.

Two of the other have everything in the PvE world completed. I just cannot seem to get the motivation to bebop around the WvW zones again.

7 characters total
6 – level 80’s
0 – with 100%
(highest is at 95%, working on the WvW areas)

I understand ANet’s desire to “encourage” players to try other modes of play, but there has got to be a better way than having the WvW be part of the mainly PvE map completion achievement.

Suggestion 1:
Break the map completion into two separate achievements: 1 = PvE areas only and 1= WvW areas only. Obviously the easiest solution, so definitely will never happen.

Suggestion 2:
Add a fourth color force to the WvW for non-participating observers. Call it the white force. They are present in the WvW areas but cannot attack or be attacked by other players. This allows players to experience the area without being forced into “fight or flight” tactics.

Just my opinions.

- Number of characters you have: 8
- Number of lvl80 chars you have: 6
- Number of 100% map completion you have: 1

I have no further incentive to get 100% with other characters.
