of animals. I love them more than I do most
people. Even solo, I am never alone!”
I’m at 94%. All Waypoints and Reknown Hearts complete.
My map shows I have completed all PvE explorable areas.
Is everything I have left inside the WvW area?
Yes, it is.
You need to complete the 4 maps of the WvW mode too in order to reach 100%
if you have 100% in every PvE zone, then yep. Dont forget the Whispers base.
That’s a lot of vistas left! Saving the best for last?
Port into the WvW maps and have a quick look. If you’ve hardly spent any time on those maps then its a good chance yes.
If every open world PvE map shows 100 % (Southsun Cove, Dry Top, and Silverwastes not included), then yes, WvW maps are all you have left.
time to start following a commander for an hour or 2 each day

It is a lot of Vista’s left. I’m surprised there are so many in WvW, tbh.
I’ve only been to WvW a couple of times and did grab a Vista and PoI or two while I was there. I know at least one Vista, in a base, when I looked up, I could see the final 1/3 – 1/2 of the path. But I could not, for the life of me, find where the path started. :-/

They all show complete!
Really not looking forward to WvW stuff, but I suppose a few minutes a day won’t hurt.
or if you wait until HoT then you dont need to do them at all because in HoT they’ll remove WvW maps from map completion entirely.

I hated doing the WvW completion. 2 weeks after launch, I had completed all of Tyria. 1 year and 2 months later, I had completed all of WvW.
Part of that is to do with the fact I avoided doing it because it takes so long, however, a very large chunk of that time is because Boarderlands are absolute bullkitten, and how they’re assigned each week.

A lot of them are fairly easy compared to others in the greater world but getting the access to them can be the rough part, depending on your server. Good luck.

That would be great. Any source of this news? I’ve got few toons I don’t use on WvW waiting for shiny gold star next to their name.

Guide for WvW map completion
Method 1: (only for active servers)
actively follow the commander around the map as they take things
Method 2: (any server)
transfer to an active server and follow method 1
Method 3: (most popular method for lower tier servers)
Run to objectives on reset night to get exploration quickly (before your server loses things). WvW matchup resets 1 hour and ~5 minutes after the daily reset on Friday night (currently 5:05 PM PST for NA servers)
When the matchup resets, your server has a claim over all the keeps and towers in their Borderland and the keep and 4 towers for your corner in Eternal Battlegrounds.
When reset occurs go to your BL and run like crazy (bring swiftness!) to the 2 southernmost keeps (Bay and Hills) get all the POIs and vistas there. Then move north from them visiting towers, camps, and the garrison. You should have the 3 keeps and all the towers and camps north of Bay/Hills (dont worry if it takes more than 1 week). If your server still has stuff in EB, then go there and pick up your keep, 4 towers and the 2 camps on your side (will likely need more than one week for this and BL). to get the stuff in the south, you have to wait until your color is NOT the same as the BL (go to BLs that are “not your server name borderlands”)(unless you are really fast and can get to that southernmost tower before the enemy gets it). You will need 4 friends. You can activate the commander NPC (seigerazor/siegecrusher) if he is there. He will help you take the tower closest to your spawn. You can also take the 2 camps nearest to your spawn and get the south skill point/vistas.
Stonemist Castle will probably be your biggest issue if your world never takes it. The best way i can see to do it is to follow an enemy zerg into it (be careful they will see you as an easy target). Stealth is your best friend (if youre a mes or thief just equip your stealths and carefully fun around the perimiter picking up the POIs, otherwise bring a freind who can stealth you). You have to follow your enemy through the inner gate as well in order to get the skill point (this should be done after most of them leave).
Tips:
*Be patient, this is a PvP map and it might take some time to do if your server has 0 presence
*Always avoid enemies when you can. Anyone that sees you will tell their 50 “freinds” in map chat and generally try to engage you
*Stealth, speed boosts, and even invulnerability skills are very helpful
*non-peak times can also be helpful if you are against servers where people actually get some sleep
*If you mention what server you are on, you might find someone here that will help you as well
Good Luck with your exploration.

source ? don’t spread false information ..
if your reference is that video of HoT Revenant gameplay with less Vista and PoI , they may just have played a beta build with WvW disabled.
