Guild Wars 2

I do not enjoy WvW, so when i figured out i needed to complete those maps for world completion it was very disheartening; However i jumped into the maps with determination and ran many suicide runs to claim map points. The suicide runs and many, many deaths at the hands of blood thirsty enemy hordes did pay off, and now i am stuck at 99%. The map points i have left to raise that 99% to 100% are stuck behind enemy walls, that i have no chance of taking out solo; and the zergs for my server never seem to run to those places, leaving me with little hope of ever getting that 100% world completion. Maybe if i had 24/7 to devote to WvW and the game in general, i would be on at a time where that zerg is attacking and taking over that point i need, but sadly i do not have that kind of free time.

So i wanted to make a suggestion, an idea a friend of mine thought of as we laid dead in WvW surrounded by enemies, trying to come up with a viable plan to capture the map point we just got slaughtered so close to. He suggested that maybe Anet makes a white flag with a chicken on it that a character could carry in WvW maps (or maybe it turns the player into a chicken carrying a white flag), to let other players know they do not want to fight. However i do know some people in game that even if you are carrying a white flag would still kill you, so,\ maybe the flag makes the character unable to be attacked and unable to attack, it will also have to grant the player the ability to enter enemy held locations. Now i can see where maybe someone would use, the ability to enter enemy locations for sneak attack purposes, a bunch of people with white flags enter an enemy location and then drop the white flag and attack, so there would have to be something to prevent that from happening. Maybe a prevention measure can be once activated in WvW it stays active and unable to be removed until you leave WvW, maybe it is 1 time use and its on a timer.

At this point if there was something i could buy in the Gem Store that would help me finish these WvW maps and get my 100%, i would buy it without a second thought. I also feel that other PVE players who want world completion would also buy something to help them get through the WvW maps. Some people love WvW and others do not, forcing the people that do not love WvW to have to play there seems to be counter productive to keeping the game fun for everyone.

Suggestion: find some friends and get the stuff you need in the morning when everyone is off at work.

Some people don’t like pve, and they still need to do it for map completion. Asking for a full damage immunity on a large scale pvp mode is dumb. “Hello, i’m an invincible thief scouting for my server, i will stay in bay for 2 hours ressing our mesmer but you can’t attack me!” Plenty of posts have been done about doing map completion in www, just wait for reset on friday nights if you really want to avoid any kind of fighting. Why would you get a full map completion, and a reward, doing nothing. No.

Good suggestion, doesn’t really help when your friends are the ones that are off at work though… (normally i would be off at work too, however my “job” currently is full time college student).

you know it’s not called 100% world explore without a reason.
I’m not a great wvw player myself but doing the wvw maps for world explore can be fun.
Just find a zerg put on ts and listen to your commander and follow the zerg.
If you are lucky you have your 100% within 1 or 2 months.
greetz exp

yh this thread again yhhhh so lets say it once again if you want 100% map , go play www and dont cry on forum nobody cares thousands people did it so there is no problem with it .

Depending what server you’re one, it’s really not all that bad. Most of the time i can travel around the map, EB and home BL, getting everything without to much fuss. It just takes awhile to get the right color on your own BL.

Today all servers Ktrain.

From now→ Reset

Whisper your commander and ask politely if you can take X objective

You’re welcome.

You wouldn’t be able to res anyone, the only thing your character could interact with is the map points. Scouting could be a potential issue, i could see hardcore WvW people shelling out Gems for just that.

So far in my experience even on Friday nights there are hordes of people fighting, there is no way to avoid any kind of fighting.

for curiosities sake, if someone doesn’t like PVE then why play a game that is 90% PVE? wouldn’t a game that is a 100% PVP (like a MOBA) be more attractive to that type of person?

Let’s take the nearest exemple here, me. I dislike open world content. I find it dull, boring, whatever you want. I still have 2 chars with 100% map completion, working on a third. To answer your question: this game is equally pve oriented and pvp oriented. There’s a lot of people playing www all day long, and i was one of them for the first 6 months of the game. I wanted my dungeon master, so i did some, and now i’m in a hardcore dungeoning guild, and i’m able to solo most things possible to solo. Maybe jump in www without the goal of leeching points when you can, but rather try to have fun with it? There’s a lot of small things to do in order to avoid fights, but it requires a bit of knowledge about the game mode you’re in. Just like hardcore wwwer had to explore 97% of the map, you as an open world pver should do your best to complete your exploration. The gift of exploration you’ll receive show to everyone you participated in all open world game modes.
Hope this clarify a bit.

Eventually, colors change and that POI that use to be inside an enemy keep is now on your side of the map.

Except Stonemist Castle. You can imagine trying to do map completion on Eredon Terrace.
