Guild Wars 2

I always wondered why such an important cosmetic feature is character bound and not account bound. It feels bad when someone is been through all that grind to get 100% world completion on one character but not being able to show it on the other characters, especially in a game that is so Alt based like gw2.

I agree as I recently acquired world completion.
But I much rather prefer that we have the ability to see our own names.
I can’t even see the gold star next to my name even though I know others can.
If they used the Ctrl-T command on my character, I still can’t see it.
It would be really nice to have an option to see your own name and the star next to it to add to that feeling of accomplishment. Having it on the other characters would be nice as well, considering the title is unlocked for all characters, yet the star isn’t.

That is what the title is for.

An interesting tidbit; you could lose the star because of a bug (this actually happened once, some people lost their stars because of a bug) and you might never know. No one will know to tell you and you can’t normally see the star, so it could be gone and you not find out till who knows when.

it not the same, plus it gets the place of another title that you could be using if you had the star

Star is character bound and it’s cool. It’s for recognition of your effort put to complete the world on certain character.

As said above if you want to show the world you explored whole tyria use title if using other char.

Yeah I like having the star Character Bound to be honest, but I think that’s just me having (apologies for my narcissistic side of me showing here!) five characters with map completion – if the star was account bound, then perhaps I wouldn’t have tried so hard.

Since map completion is character bound, it makes since that the rewarded star is character bound. If map completion were account bound, then the star would be account bound too. But I wouldn’t support that change.

Four of my six toons have their star. The fifth will get his soon. The sixth, well, she’ll just have to wait a while longer. She is only at ~50%.

The star being character bound was a factor for me also in getting it after my first 100%. It provided that much more incentive to get out there and complete maps over and over again. I would have done it anyway, but there was a bit of pride knowing my char now had a star.

It should stay character bound. I have it with 6 characters so far and no.7 is up to 80%.

20% left and I will be all done(for now).
Doesn’t seem like much of a big deal to me. It’s not like you can see your own except maybe if you were playing a mesmer.

Sorry if this seems daft, but what is this star under discussion? I have a half dozen toons with 100% map completion but am unaware of it.

World comp should rank up with each character you complete it on with a number inside the gold star and should show on all characters no matter if that character has it or not.

When you 100% all the maps, that char will have a gold star on the nameplate. If you party up with someone and have them target you, you’ll be able to see the star on your char’s nameplate.

Picture of a char (Cold Velvet) with the star on their nameplate:

If it got changed to account bound star I’d want a star added for every character who has map completion done XD (That would be silly and ridiculous looking…up to 12 and working on 13th completion)

Duh. I’ve seen that before and just never knew what it meant. Thanks.

I have 8 character with world completion so I’ll be constructive: I do not see what the problem is. As it is an alt based game for a big part, just make sure you can show off something on your alt as well, as the better part of achievements are probably done by your main…

2 wrs, 1 grd, 1 rng, 1 thf, 1ele, 1 ncr, 1 msm all 100%…. and 5 @ ~60%, 1@40%, 1 @20%

The 20% I tome levelled and When it was l80 it had 0% map, I do not think it should get a world completion star now, why would it be just, it had never seen more then the lvl 1 story and the crafing stations of the black citadel… i always ask ppl to bring a character with a lot of map completion to guild missions, I make parties based upon the stars as I can see some can go everywhere instantly and monitor their group…

Also I like getting the gifts of exploration , a.k.a. world completion things for every character, not once…

Congrats.

I have 8 with stars. The thought of doing it on my 9th (Revenant) makes me want to trudge up to Mount Doom and throw myself inside the fiery pit.

What would be nice would be some sort of title rank where you get the lowest title and work your way up, either for having multiple chars with world 100% or for having one of each profession with 100%.
