At the time of my first completion WvW poi’s and wp’s were necessary in order to complete 100% completion. During updating my account has no longer been able to achieve 100% map completion status. I’ve vigorously have tried to figure out a solution to the problem, but I’ve spent more time doing so than what I did actually achieving the kitten thing at launch.
I am not being rewarded for my efforts of map completion. I earned the medal in 2013-2014. Then tried to hit all the updated areas, but I was stripped of my gold medal and have not had it since updating
When the new pois/hearts were added, they didn’t strip the gold name badge you get from map completion if you already had it. It did lower the completion % to like 98 or 99, but the badge remained.
I do know that the completion badge did bug out at some point that was unreleated to the new criteria being added.
I take it you got a friend to confirm the badge is not showing? I take it you mean the nameplate badge.
If you mean you can’t see it on your char, if it was ever there they have removed it. All you can see there now is your pvp rank. However of course other people will see the star on your char.
BTW your map is complete as it matches my numbers exactly and mine is totally complete.
Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?
incorrect paul; your pvp rank and completion medal are shown with your username. and @chad i am talking about on my physical character that has completed 100% of the map in 2013 and more than likely now in 2016 that I can’t see it on my character and I am not even ranked within pvp so Paul case wouldn’t make sense either
One could never see the little yellow star on one’s character name in-game, if that is what you are talking about. Others can see the star, but you can not see it on your own character.
You can’t see your own star. You can ask someone else to look and see if it’s there or not, but as far as I can think of you’ve never been able to see it.

I am sorry but YOU are incorrect. I have world complete on 11 chars now. I could NEVER see my own star on any of those chars. Everyone else can see the star on my char tho.
If you want to test this, message me in game and I will take a screen shot of your char, I bet you I will see the star. However YOU will never be able to see the star on your own char.
As you can see in the pic below: I have 22 gifts of exploration and you can see no star above my char. This is my main char who was the first to get world complete. So if the star was ever visible to us it would be there – but it never has been, only to other people.
Don’t forget we could never even see our own name let alone anything else. It was only recently that anet has allowed us to even see what we can see. I guess they think it’s not important for us to see our own stars or that it would be too much clutter.

You can lose the 100% but you cannot lose the star attached to your character name that earned it.
Show a screenshot of the same character that has 100% world completion.
Also, likely not the case but I feel like it should be brought up anyway, if you earned 100% map completion several years ago, getting 100% again doesn’t do anything.

I told him to check by asking a friend and he said no one else can see it.

You are correct it does nothing. However going back and completing the maps with new things on them WILL give the map reward again.
I noticed this when HOT came out as I took all my chars through their maps updating them getting ready for them to do HOT. They ALL got the map rewards again even when it was only an extra POI or WP here or there.
I reported it on the forums and in game as a bug. I still doubt anything has been done about it. It felt kind of exploitative.

Yeah I know, good chance tho if he asked any “random” person in game or even a “friend” that they could be trolling or not even sure what he’s asking them to look for lol.
But it could be as others have said. There may be a bug where other’s can’t see it as well. But either way, no matter what he will not get what he wants which is him being able to see it on his char. Not unless anet implements it anyways as it’s not in there yet for any of us.

There was a bug a while back where the star disappeared from nameplates. Maybe it happened again and he found out from a friend commenting on it.

I think you’re mistaken there. Once you complete a zone once, you don’t get rewards for “completing” it a second time. I didn’t get any second rewards for grabbing the new POIs/WPs/Hearts/Vistas added to pre-existing zones.
I agree that there was a short time where some maps were giving Map Rewards a second time. It must have been fixed shortly thereafter (next patch, maybe), as I took some characters to those maps afterwards and received no rewards.

I first brought this up just before xmas when I discovered it. I reported it both in game and then on the forums. My computer then died and so I was without one and could not play the game for about 2-3 months. I bought a new computer and came back and thought this should be fixed now. Nope, I managed to get the rewards from about 4-5 maps AGAIN on about 6-7 of my alts who had all done world completes well and truly beforehand.
I’m not sure what triggered the bug and if it only applies to certain accounts/chars. Maybe I could get the rewards again because on those chars I had originally got the map rewards 2-3 years ago well and truly before that bug came in and they fixed it? Maybe people who had completed the maps just a little bit before then didn’t get the rewards a second time.
I really don’t know. But I do akin the situation to that situation where some of us got our first birthday gifts more than once for each char due to a bug. At that point I had all 8 classes made and so they all got the gifts on the first birthday. A bug happened and anet fixed it but they could not stop some of us being rewarded more than once per char. Result was I had about 14 mini Jenna’s and multiple boosters which I really shouldn’t have. Just a side effect of what happened and they couldn’t do anything to fix it. I think this might be a similar situation tbh. And it may only affect some people.
