Guild Wars 2

I feel once you achieve map completion, new characters shouldn’t have fog of war and all the ways points should be unblocked (or unblock WP’s when reach 80).

What you people think about this?

I think they should have fog of war and all the waypoints should be blocked.

Howgh.

I think it’s fine as is. It’s a new character, after all.

Dry Top need map completion rewards.

I think that’s the height of laziness. Having said that, if Anet ever introduce a system where this would happen then I wouldn’t care what other people do as long as I would have the option to not have all waypoints uncovered.

You can achieve map completion again, but as a reward of map completion, fog of war is deleted so you can complete the mapa again easier.

Let’s make it so you can get a level three into Orr without even needing to run across the map… what a brilliant idea. As it’s been said before – it’s locked for new characters for completion rewards; so stop being lazy!

I think the mayority of players are casual, not hardcore and don’t feel as completing the map all over again with another character. This is just help for players that already complete the map once.

I am a working man, which supposedly makes me a ‘casual’ player. I don’t want ANYTHING in this game made even easier. It’s being gradually dumbed down anyway. Everything is getting simplified, mobs are getting nerfed, events flooded with megaserver zergs, early level dungeons after the trait changes are laughable. Even the repair costs have been removed, ffs!
At least let me do my map completions, as it is pretty much the last PvE thing in this game that hasn’t been damaged in some way.

Thank you.

Not to mention the Gifts of Exploration for legendary weapons only obtained through said map completion. If things were “unfogged” and all WP’s available, people would have a difficult time earning completion the second time through.

I’m so casual I don’t even have map completion yet on any of my characters in getting close to two years of play. Different people play differently. I’ll stand by my opinion since you asked for our thoughts.

Would be nice if there was a manual way to unlock certain waypoints, as long as you are 80. For example, unlocking a WP in cursed shore instead of going through 3-4 different zones just to go find a merchant there to get a soulbound-on-purchase piece of karma gear. Ahem.

Other than QOL stuff like that, I really don’t care. I don’t see any reason why map completion should automatically be easier the second time around. It’s already going to be anyway because you know where more things are.

My question is: Is this actually about map completion itself or is it about getting enough Gifts to get all of the legendaries that you want?

By the way, I don’t think it’d really hurt anyone badly to give people the option to unfog one waypoint in level-appropriate zones (ones that they have unlocked on another character) without needing to travel through one of the pre-set portals (in fact, perhaps this could be done with some sort of custom portal item). Something like that would hardly be a significant speeding up of the process, unless you are a straight-up power-mapper.

Is actually only about map completion itself, I dont even have one character with map completion, but I can’t stand having one, making another one and start literally with nothing to do it again faster. It Feels like playing Diablo 3 vanilla, doing the 4 acts over and over again.
