Guild Wars 2

If you already have the 100%, you will still need to do them again just to tick them off as permanent. Is that me reading the final point correctly?

To be completely honest I have no idea what the issue is, literally. These hearts are repeatable. I should know that they reset to 0 every 24 hours, if I want map completion I should know I have to complete the 5 hearts before they reset. What am I missing?

Two things.

1 – Some people who are borderline OCD on Reddit were complaining about always seeing 87% completion on Ember Bay after reset because I actually have no idea why tf that bothered them.

2 – In every other map in the game you can finish the map completion at your own pace, you can do the hearts, or just 1 or 2, and come back in a few minutes, a few hours, days, weeks or even months and not have to repeat content in order to get map completion. That isn’t working in Ember bay right now, and people are (justifiably so imo) upset that they can’t do that with the new map. Whether this was intended behavior or not, it wasn’t documented and no other map in the game works like this, so I understand why some people are upset over it, though some of them are taking this way too far and making a much bigger deal out of it than they should be

I believe reset is at 5pm PDT now, and will change to 4pm PST on November 6th. At least, it changes at 5pm PDT for me right now.

This is exactly what I suspected the best course of action would be. Whenever someone explains that they keep losing their map completion %, I always wonder if they had done the Hearts before and after the daily reset.

There is an issue with the tracking of player map completion in Episode 2. We apologize for this issue, and we’re going to address it in the future. However, due to the complexity of the back-end systems that drive repeatable hearts and other elements within Episode 2, we won’t be able to make a quick fix for this.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

• Renown Hearts reset every day at 00:00 GMT/4:00 PM Pacific time. Resets will change to 00:00 GMT/5:00 PM Pacific time on November 6 with the end of Daylight Saving Time.

I’d rephrase this for two reasons: the servers think the game resets at the same time, regardless of time zones and most players don’t live in Pacific Time (and even in the US, not every state observes daylight savings).

Renown hearts reset at 0:00 UTC/GMT every day. The time of reset varies per time zone and changes with daylight savings, since the computers don’t observe it. On the US West Coast, reset times are currently 5:00 pm and will change to 4 pm when DST ends next month. A quick internet search for “what time is 0:00 UTC here” will show you reset times for your area.

Maybe, while the Devs are fixing the Map Completion/new (Renown Heart) issue, they can take a peek at the Ember Bay map achievement display in the Story Journal tab, as well, since it is ‘borked’. If they would be so kind, of course. =)

I did map completion 100 % with all of my characters. So I have do do all Renown Hearts again (25 characters), to get 100 % (display) permanent?

In the meantime, we’d like to share some pointers on how to best achieve Map Complete in Ember Bay:

• You can acquire general non-heart completion points on the map, including Points of Interest and Waypoints, at your own pace.
• Renown Hearts reset every day at 00:00 GMT/4:00 PM Pacific time. Resets will change to 00:00 GMT/5:00 PM Pacific time on November 6 with the end of Daylight Saving Time.
• In order to receive credit towards Map Complete:
  • Until the sequencing issue is corrected, you will need to complete all of the Renown Hearts within the same 24-hour period to receive credit towards Map Complete.
  • Once the fix rolls out you will not need to complete all the Renown Hearts within the same 24-hour period in order to receive credit. However, you will need to complete all the Renown Hearts one final time in order to get permanent credit.

This might be a troublesome thing i ask for but i cannot see it as something else other than an oportunity.Why not make the map completion rewards and the hearts rerepeatable? keep the hearts as well as the rewards for 100%map completionthe only thing reseting, i cant find a better way to make the map more replayable you can ofc remove the black lion keys and add transmutation charges this wont break the market as much and it will even out the diff in charges pvpers and pvers get might be too much to ask but at least consider it for an expansion zone or something as the developer said they hearts will remain repeatable but the completion will be done regardless of that, that can be used to gate possible gifts of new legies while the rewards from map completion remain repeatable and you can avoid the confussion ppl might have by adding an small star next to the completion bar of each one of these maps if the player got the gifts from said maps.I ofc dont suggest that to happen for each map and especially not for hot maps but from now on if maps are like ember bay and bf vertical but simple to navigate i think it could work out fine

Yes you will have to repeat the hearts when this fix goes live.

anyway know my characters, who already done 100% at ember bay before ?

I seriously doubt that’s what Gaile meant. I’m sure she meant “unless you already have 100%”. If I was her, that would have seemed a superfluous addition. Otherwise, why would she even bother to include a method for getting to 100% in its current state?

I just wanted to add to this to help anyone trying to currently get 100%. This may seem obvious, but to get the completion chest, you will need to make sure that you have all 5 hearts, all 4 wp, all 23 poi and all 7 vistas all at the same time. Having all 5 hearts done at the same time will not ‘lock in the heart portion’ of completion. For example, if you do all 5 hearts, but then come back the next day to finish up a couple of poi, the hearts will all be reset and you will have to do them all again.

Therefore to get 100%, the best method is probably to go around getting all the wp, poi and vistas, and then do all 5 hearts in one day before reset.

:)

compared to the hot maps, I found it incredibly easy and fast. finally returned to normal complete maps without resorting to epic mazes.
