Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know if there’s been an update in the last patch, or even more recently, to the requirements for world map completion? I’ve done completion quite a few times before, the most recent in the last couple of weeks, and whilst trying to finish on another character today I admit, I’m scratching my head as to what I’m missing.

From what I can see, I have all the core Tyria maps done, plus the Silverwastes, Dry Top and Southsun, although those last three I’ve never known to count. I don’t have the HoT maps done on this particular char, and the numbers leftover don’t add up anyway. For the record, I’m missing 10 waypoints, 4 vistas and 23 PoI and I’ll confirm the core maps I have at 100% are:

Rata Sum
The Grove
Brisbane Wildlands
Metrica Province
Caledon Forest
Sparkfly Fen
Mount Maelstrom
Divinity’s Reach
Kessex Hills
Queensdale
Harathi Hinterlands
Gendarren Fields
Bloodtide Coast
Lion’s Arch
Hoelbrak
Wayfarer Foothills
Lornar’s Pass
Snowden Drifts
Dredgehaunt Cliffs
Timberline Falls
Frostgorge Sound
Black Citadel
Plains of Ashford
Diessa Plateau
Fields of Ruin
Blazeridge Steppes
Iron Marches
Fireheart Rise
Straits of Devastation
Malchor’s Leap
Cursed Shore

plus Southsun Cove, Dry Top and the Silverwastes.

They’re all 100%, as I said. I’ve also logged in and out, but it’s still sitting at 98%. I’ve done Chantry of Secrets, too. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help!

Chantry of Secrets isn’t required anymore.

I’ve done world completion twice in the past three weeks and haven’t had any issues. Are you sure that all of the core zones are sitting at 100%

I keep going over it, and everything reads 100% - except the HoT maps which don’t count. I’ve done completion on another character in the last couple of weeks with no issues, hence why I’m confused.

If this is an older toon, I’d check the starter zones again. When they revamped the NPE, they added some waypoints/hearts.

I assume you are hovering your mouse of the name of each map to check 100% from the map overview?

Do wvw maps still show up as part of the percentage counter? I know they don’t count for Been There, Done That and “100% Completion” now, but I wasn’t sure if they still factored into the number shown on your map.

Otherwise, triple check Caledon Forest, Lion’s Arch, and Plains of Ashford for the new stuff added when they did the NPE. Also, check that you have the extra WPs they added to Orr some time ago.

They don’t for me

Thanks for the replies.

It’s not an older toon - it’s only 20 days old. I have 20 gifts of exploration in the bank, however, so it’s no the first time I’ve done completion.

The WvW maps haven’t counted for about a year, I don’t think - certainly the last few characters I’ve run through the completion process haven’t needed to check in there.

If there’s been no super-recent update, I’ll have a final look in all the zones *just in case*, and then if no dice, I’ll pop a message to Support. Thanks for your help, all!

The newer zones didn’t have enough stuff added to account for what they’re missing unfortunately. It’s almost like they’re missing an entire map.

My suggestion would be to go to make a checklist of every map and then visit it. Check the UI and the map itself to see if anything is missing. You shouldn’t have to do this but it’s what I would do in your situation.

Yeah, it does sound like you somehow just missed a whole zone. So, do go triple check everything.

Have you done Claw Island as part of the personal story? The Wiki says it counts towards world completion… given that your toon is 20 days old, sounds like that might be a possibility.

Nm… in one part of the wiki it says it counts, and in another part it doesn’t. Sorry.

Duh@moi. Stupid Hoelbrak, pretending to be 100% when it wasn’t. And I *do* have an eye test coming up, too. XD

Thanks again for your help, all!

No, Claw Island doesn’t count for 100% map completion. I believe it DOES count for Krytan Explorer, though.

It’s covered in snow and hard to see! Blame it on the snow! Glad you found what you were missing.

I was just about to suggest that one after seeing it had 23 POI

Yeah, I fixed that in my post just before you posted after going back to read more of the wiki… ah well.

And another mystery solved!

Time for a scooby snack!

I do blame it on the snow! Quite right!

To be honest, it was more the fact I’ve done a completion the other week and probably just mistook the two, plus the daft habit I have of watching Game of Thrones on HBO Nordic at the same time as playing. :/

All done, now. Have shiny star. Yay, me!
