Guild Wars 2

Make it a cash shop item. $50.00 USD.

It transfers everything from one character to the other. Waypoints, Hearts, Vistas, Star.

The original character loses everything.

You don’t get any extra gifts.

Please.

I’m sure there would be a handful of people that would go for this but I tend to map complete as I level so it isn’t that big of a deal imo.

I see why you’d want the waypoints, and possibly even the karma vendors, but what do you want the rest to be transferable for?

My question too. I’m okay with the waypoints being transferable, since it allows for faster travel through alts. But the hearts, PoI, Vistas, and hero points should not. How do you think people hit level 80 so fast? All of it gives massive experience.

I don’t know that I agree with any of the OP’s suggestion, but I do think it would be nice if there was a way for characters above a certain level to get key waypoints, particularly when there are people with several 80’s, experience scrolls, and stacks of tomes sitting around.

Honestly, I would probably start playing the game again if they made this an option.

It really takes no time at all to get all the way points in the game. If you can’t be bother to play the game, stop making alts you can’t be bothered to play.

Another thread that’s a symptom of Instant Level 80.

No thanks.

So basically, you’re necro posting your own thread to say you won’t play the game until there’s a way to not play the game?

You’re looking at the problem wrong. This person DOES want to play the game. So do I. I just don’t want to spend a couple hours running around each and every map six more times. I did it once with my first character and it was a nice experience, but I don’t want to do it again for EVERY character I make.

I want to take my alts on guild missions and have fun with my guildmates playing the profession I feel like playing that day, but I can’t because I only have all the waypoints on one of my seven (soon to be eight) level 80s.

Obviously things like the hearts, vistas, and points of interest shouldn’t automatically unlock, but the basic ability to move around to areas I HAVE already visited, just on a different character, shouldn’t be locked. All it does is force me to waste several hours doing something I don’t want to be doing or limit my character choices when deciding what content I want to do.

Why? It would take you half hour to an hour TOPS to get the waypoints needed for dungeons (which is literally the first waypoint you get going into that zone), world bosses, and guild missions (aside from bounties, which would take a few). Stop being lazy and actually go run around.

To be fair to penelopehannibal, the OP did ask for all of map completion to be transferred. Including hearts and vistas.

So OP was asking for more than just a few key waypoints. Though, granted, he did say he would be fine with the map completion being removed from the old character and not getting new gifts, which is more than I can say for some who ask for similar things.

You get rewards for map completes. I only want all waypoint available on all characters on the account once you’ve done an area. The rest of it should be left for completion by each character. I think just having waypoints available would be a nice compromise.

There isn’t any need to compromise however. Make alt, run round doing map / world explore or make alt.. run to the one or two things you want to do on that alt.

Why make everything a cash shop item, just reduces the game to a credit card p2w model that would be a pale self of what this game set out to be. If you don’t get alts and exploring then MMOs probably aren’t for you.

I’d actually enjoy map comp on alts if there was some sort of benefit to having done it on another character.

Such as if after the first 100% map comp one obtains, it made heart tasks optional on future characters and boosted exploration exp by 15%. Then the second completion giving account bound waypoints with a 10% increase in exploration exp to discovering areas, points of interest, hero points, and tasks. And finally, each subsequent map completion awarding a permanent 5% exp boost to map exploration experience.

Alternatively, I’d just go with the blurry paint effect on the map was turned into a grayed out, more detailed version of the map after my first map completion for all of my alts so I can navigate it easier.

But there are benefits. A few benefits in fact.

1) More karma from completing Renown Hearts, as well as any events along the way.
2) XP for such character if you are doing Map Completion from scratch (highly recommended anyway).
3) Two pieces of gear for each PvE map you complete.
4) 70% Chance of a Transmutation Charge, 30% Chance of a Black Lion Chest Key for every PvE map you complete (estimated).
5) 40 Ore/Wood or 20 Chef materials for every PvE map you complete.
6) Loot from most kills along the way.
7) 2x Gifts of Exploration for finishing the map.
8) Having more than one character being able to go anywhere you want.
9) You don’t have to do as many HoT hero challenges to maximise an Elite Specialisation.
10) Another character with a MC star above his or her health bar.

Granted, you get the same on each character as the first, but they are still benefits. And a lot of them for doing Map Completion.

“10) Another character with a MC star above his or her health bar.”

No star, no more. ;-(
The star was removed with the beginning of the Mastery system. If you mouse over nameplates you’ll see mastery numbers, titles, PvP ranks and char name. But no star.

I was sure both stars remain? I shall double-check this for science! points to sky like Batfink

Edit:
Scientific conclusion: Confirmed – you do get to keep your World Completion star!

Yah check it please. I got map completion yesterday on another char. I started looking and no one that I could see had a star (and of course you can’t see your own if you have one).

As above, Just. ^.^/

Ok. Cool. I guess all the people I looked at didn’t have one.
