Guild Wars 2

Just -why?
Why is Arena Net forcing me to play their zergy WvW just to get 100% world explored?
I dont understand it.
Ok, it’s not that hard, I guess, but, only if your server is actually doing good and is winning.
For the past 2 weeks I’ve been unable to get last 4 Vistas for 100%, and sorry, it’s a total BS and it’s frustrating as hell. It’s literary un-doable at this point.

Do they expect me to buy gems to transfer to another server and then pay more to come back to my guild’s server?

What happened to all that “casual friendly” mentality? I don’t play WvW and sure as hell won’t be ever returning to it after I get 100%.

every week you change sides, know when the reset happens, as soon as it happens BAM, run towards those points, voila.

Yes, it might take a while, but trust me, only way if your server is losing (from 21/24 server; GoM for ya)

I don’t believe they changed sides this last time it reset.

I mean, it’s not hard, its impossible. Like literary you can’t do anything but wait and hope you win and or get the right color when the reset happens.
Yesterday though, after reset I was unable to even join the WvW and was in a queue for for 30 mins.

It’s not challenging, its just ridiculous. Soloing level 84 Champion Boss is more doable than this.

I don’t think I should have to do PvE for my world completion. Why do I have to do PvE maps instead of just the WvW map? I think they should only limit it to WvW maps for completion and not all that other stuff.

Get some people together and take the objective.

Easier said than done, we’re outmanned all the time and my guild is PvE oriented.

Yeah apart from eternal, the rest is very easy, no need to fight. Map positions rotate and off hours are the best times to do it, or late peak. Gotta wait for cap to get eternal, if your server can.

Map positons don’t rotate unless you are saying that various servers take other positions which can vary if your server desides to take hills or not.

When your enemies sleep, go get’m. I learned many months ago that very, very early in the morning was a good time to get WvW map completions (on my server). Remember to prioritize too. If your server takes a rarely captured location, go there immediately because the enemy might take it back in a few minutes. good luck

it takes no skill, it just requires luck to be online, and get through the queue when your side has the points you want.
Then make it across the map, trying to avoid the zerg with nameplates highlighting your positions halfway across the map.

And you take up a spot, of a very limited amount available, from a player who may contribute more to the server winning.

No idea why Anet force pvp on people who dont like it. Not that WvWvW is pvp, its mindless zergballs, no skill, no challenge, just pure spam zerg numbers fest.

One word. Patience.

I was in the same position as you and just waited it out until my server became the color I needed. Yes it sucks, but that’s about all you can really do unless you want to pay gems to transfer.

I personally think that pvp and pve should have separate exploration rewards.

But add in more goals to pvp. say heart tasks at each keep that have requirements like “kill enemies”, “defend objective”, “capture objective”, “build upgrade” etc. To make the pvp more on par with pve completion.

And then add separate reqards for each when you get 100%.

Then pvpers can just pvp and pve-ers can just pve without penalty. and if you want to do both, thats fine.

Unless you have ALL of the other components necessary for a legendary then what’s the rush?

You don’t change servers every week unless the places in which the servers come are different everytime. Red = Last Place, Blue = Second Place, Green = First Place.

It is the same reason why they force me to do PvE. Try finding a group for CM and CoE now. It will take you awhile.

I am one Vista / one Point of Interest (both in the same server keep) short of 100% world completion – this is the most populated servers keep. My server seems to get thrashed each week so although I’m checking every few hours for map control, I’ve had no luck.

Oh well!

I’ve been Green since the start of the year. You’re screwd if your server can maintain #1 spot.

You’re Jade Quarry too I see. I still haven’t done the battle grounds much but I have two of the three world maps done and I’m only missing the vista in the world’s starting area, the one on the house. Been killed multiple times just trying to get there.

What? You think I’m storming your storming your fortress on my own? Come on!

I hate crying like a little _ . But, honestly, this is already the second week when map looks like this.

We’re red. Eternal battlegrounds.
And, did I mention that I need the green side.

Haha that’s hilarious. Actually I feel really sorry for you, I had to wait a week to get my last tower but my server is doing fine and wins sometimes. I almost considered swappin’ server. Seems like your only choice if you’re going for a legendary, otherwise it isn’t important at all. Unless you’re an achievement kitten. xD

My guild is PVe oriented too. Best reason in the world to run a WvW skill point/vista, point of interest capping event. Get the whole guild into it and try it out.

You’ll likely never like WvW, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. And we have fun in there, even though it’s just 10 or 15 of us from the guild.

This is pretty much the reason why I don’t even think of attempting world exploration on my 4 alts.
I’ve had enough troubles doing it once on my main, and waiting about 2 months to get the final POI and Vista in WvW.

Question is.. why do Anet Force us PvPers to get 100% on pve maps to be able to get a legendary. . And then theres the dungeons…. PvEers cry to much when its the PvPers who are forced 95% of the time

P.S. Why do you feel forced? Or do you feel like you have no choice if you want a legendary?

I’m in the same boat as the op. I’m 2 vistas and 2 poi away from 100%. Both on the green side which we haven’t been in a while since a couple of main wvw guild jump ship. Who knows when I’ll be able to get those. I don’t care about the legendary. I just busted my butt working on this and now I have wait for us to be the right color. IF we ever become the right color. I wish they would at least rotate the colors. I couldn’t care less about winning or losing. I just want that stupid star by my name and the achievement for finishing the map. FYI its not always about the legendary.

because you dont have to queue for pve and you dont have to rely on chance as ot whether a heart task is available for you to get …..like you do in wvwvw.

Different things.

That said. I think they should be separate, pve and pvp should have separate completions.

I really hate the fact that I’m forced to do WvW for map completion when its something I never do.

I never did PvP in GW1 because it was full of 12 year old idiots and its the same here.

Dying and having to run back from the other side of the map is just stupid. I was told I just need to run around ikittenerg and tell them where you want to go. Honestly split the titles and have world completion and WvW map completion, just stop forcing it on those that want nothing to do with it but want the title without giving up the game in disgust.

But if your always number 1 dont you end up controling every point on every map at some stage? If you were always last i could imagine a problem but not one being always first.

Perhaps a solution, a WvW sit in, get everyone on JQ to sit around a camp fire and refuse to fight so you get to be blue ( this suggestion is in no way affected by my current server….. well only a little )
