Guild Wars 2

HI,
I will soon be at map completion and I am sad that there won’t be any more heart events, vista’s, jp’s and dynamic events apart from the living story.
I do love pvp and wvw but what do you guys do after the map is at 100 %?

There will still be enough to do, I’m sure, but I think I’ll miss the things I described above

Events you can do at any time, hearts themselves are not really exciting for me. JP’s you still get a chest every time you do any of them. Meta events, running around with people you know, being able to wp anywhere on the map, there are lots of things to do. Sounds like you need goals, so I suggest you set a goal. It does not need to be a hugely time consuming one but something like get all ap or ascended backs or all ascended accessories or if you like the skin go for legendary (be prepared for a long wait and a lot of gold reuired).

start farming for legendary (since you have gift of exploration after 100%), or some expensive skins.
or working on achivements (dungeon master?, etc.)

You can make another character and enjoy it all over again.

I wouldn’t know. Still stuck at 99% with a handful of POI to ding in Eternal Battlegrounds. If I do decide to redo this on another character, I’ll be doing WvWvW first…

I figured most people just do Map Completion for the Title/Star/AP, you might actually be in the minority that enjoys it. You can always level another character and do it all over again if you want. If you like the exploration and story tryout the other races and play through their storyline. Theres always PvP/WvW which will give you something to do if thats what you’re into. Theres not much to really do in PvE outside of the usual (WB farm/Dungeons/Fractals/Dailies). It starts to get pretty stale after awhile and hopefully the new Living Story will give us more to do. It’ll probably be some time before we get a full expansion.

Thanks, I will definitely set myself a goal
Which meta events would be interesting to do?

I do enjoy it, but I also love my current character and I would prefer to just keep playing her
What is the WB-farm you speak of?

Agreed, I only still need 1 poi in one of those maps as well, I didn’t quite like that these maps count towards the completion, but I do like wvwvw.. so it’s not that hard in the end.

Honestly, when the game first launched, I got to 80 in a month or so, but I loved some of the shiverpeak zones, frostgorge sound and the starter one, that I spent the next 2-3 months just hanging out there (to be fair I was just mostly doing my daily/claw whenever he spawned), after map completion I did a lot of world bosses/fractals in between the living world. I also took the time to level up most of my alts to 80. Now I’m doing a good amount of WvW and the living world, while also leveling up any remaining alts. Really, just find something you like and enjoy it.

World Bosses. Can be farmed daily for Dragonite Ore and Rare/Exotic loot. You will need the ore if you ever plan on making Ascended gear.

I personally enjoy most of the world bosses. You will get lots of rares to either break down or sell depending on what you want. I also really enjoy Tequatle, you need to show up about 30 min before or else your chances of defeating it are very low, teamspeak or organized guilds are not essential but if you find one great. I also enjoy wurm which is done daily by several guild and guild groups (biggest areTxS in eu and TTS in NA, but there are several that do it outside of these) almost essential that you join a guild/group with teamspeak.

come to the forums and post…

complain about how we don’t have an expansion yet

Ok, good to know, thanks!

PvP
WvW
Fractals
Dungeons
World Bosses
Guild Missions
Go for achievments, like dungeon master or master crafter and so on
Farm legendary and ascended

That should keep you busy for a while xD

Stand afk in LA or DR

going for my 3rd and 4th runs

I read a very interesting article about goals and processes.
If you set yourself a goal, once you reach that goal you end up at a loss. Setting yourself a process gives you more freedom to do different stuff while you move towards a goal but the process itself is more important than the goal

Map complete even more times. XD

Wvw roaming and spvp on multiple classes and builds can keep you going for a long time

I got 100% world completion on all 8 classes and started a 9th and 10th just for fun. And there are dungeons and WvW that are always there even if you dont have world completion done yet. So I think there is plenty to pick from after you are done.

Good point
I did love the process of exploring though, it is that that I will miss

I agree that there is plenty to do! I just don’t want any other characters.. I think
