Guild Wars 2

FOR ALL PLAYERS CARE ABOUT DS EXPLORER :

I Just get e-mail from GW2 Support about Thorn Hollow and the Deserted Coast areas for the

explore of the Dragon Stand Area .

The Answer is that DOES NOT EXIST those 2 areas so don’t search for … Maybe as they said it

will exist to next patch or Living Story . Depend from the Developers .

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve already wasted a good chunk of time trying to find those two areas. :/

I bet they are in the sections that will complete the rectangle of the map, and further map areas do seem likely to come via story additions.

So if they’re not in the game and it’s mere speculation they will be added at some unknown and entirely theoretical time they should be REMOVED from the achievement!!!

kitten , i just found out about the very existance of these 2 places only because my friend noticed on hte explorer achievements that he didn’t have all areas even with full map completion. Then we rapidly found some guide on YT which actually existed but the guy took 34 minutes to show how to get there but simply doesn’t say at anytime where exactly you need to be to get completion. Fortunately i thought all that was a bit strange and serached more and found this thread here! Thanks a lot cuz it saved me hours of useless exploration!

This MUST be fixed soon or else lots of people will probably get annoyed trying to find these locations. Should simply remove them from the achievement for now and maybe add them back when they actually make these regions to be explorable.

oh heavens, thank you for this thread. I was looking for nearly done achievements and got to the DS explorer (all done minus those two areas) and was wondering where the heck they could be where I haven’t traveled. At least now I know not to waste my time searching for them until they fix it.

No, they shouldn’t. Just like the way map reveals by piece worked in LS2, those areas are part of the map. They’re simply unreleased parts of the map. This means you can progress the achievement, but can’t complete it until you have access to those areas.

Just because an achievement exists to “explore the whole zone” doesn’t necessarily mean you can get to all of it. I’d rather have the hints and mini-foreshadowing of unreleased map sections than only be able to get credit for ‘exploring the map’ when the last piece is revealed, making me go back and actually explore it all a second time.

That is just so wrong. If something is missing from the game, it should never block finishing any of achievements. It just shows how unfinished and buggy whole HoT is when they have to cut off large parts of the map to get expansion out in time.

The fact that something may or may not be added to the game some time later is not relevant to the current game. We all know stuff gets axed off, plans change and features stay on “maybe” list forever.

RIP my “nearly completed” list
16/18 forever.
