Guild Wars 2

Hello. I started playing GW2 back when it came out. I stopped playing for a long time. I have recently gotten back into the game and have noticed something that I cannot figure out how to fix.

The POI and Skill Challenge Icons are missing from the map. My map completion box is checked on the map legend. The only icon in that category that shows up on my map is the Hearts.

Any ideas? Am i missing something obvious?

Thanks In advance.

Hey Scoop,

You should take a look at the post I’ve linked. It gives a general idea as to the new level gating system and/or when map icons begin to appear. Though it’s not a complete list, for example it doesn’t mention that skill point challenges are locked until you reach level 13 and do not appear on the map until then.

Hope it helps some.

OP’s last post was “about a year ago”- it checks out, folks.

OP, Anet dun goof’d and put a ton of stuff behind a level gate to “help new players”. Sory.

So until I reach a higher level, those icons wont be available? Seems counter-intuitive

Add vistas to that list.

Why would they remove these from the map?

They were “too confusing to new players”. No, I don’t get it either. Nobody gets it, except Anet, apparently.

You’re right. That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Thanks a bunch for the answer.
