Stuck at 99% Map Compl
-Wait friday evening
-Do it with friends
-Get into WwW to earn your Gift and be helpful to your server, you’ll cap anything in return
-Ask a commander if they plan to flip stuff
-Check your color every friday reset
That’s a good start. There’s probably more, but that’s basic.
You’ll likely get it this month during the tournament depending on how people are assigned colors.
My guild is on Desolation and i’m the only one on FOE
I check every 30 minutes on this http://mos.millenium.org/matchups
I check every friday evening
2 months,still the WHOLE map is Green and i need red.i’m getting mad.
You’ll never manage to take out a tower, let alone a keep or castle, alone, unless luck is spectacularly on your side. Given that you’ve been through ~8 different matchups now and have never once seen the point in question under your control, that’s apparently not the case. Really, your best bet is to just wait until either your world’s color matches up with the “natural” color of the point. Towers and even keeps can flip frequently, but unless you’re getting demolished in the matchup, you should at least take the point back with some regularity. If you need something in Stonemist, in particular, you need only to wait for a mathup when your server is doing reasonably. More often than not, there will be somewhat frequent attempts to take the castle, and some will inevitably succeed. Just keep an eye on the maps and wait for your color to own the castle.
As a side note, your server ought to be a different color most weeks, so make sure you’re looking at the right color when you’re checking for who owns what.

My server’s been blue for 11 weeks now. >__o
But yeah, I feel your pain on the can’t finish the map. I’m missing the green keep in EBG.
I guess best advice is stay vigiliant.
When is the most active time on your server? Because I can almost guarantee that the first thing your server’s zerg is going to do at the start of the active time is flip any and everything they can in EBG before travelling anywhere else. ‘Least that’s how SoS/FA/Mag matchups been rolling for the last 4 or 5 months. x__x
I don’t raid, I barely fractal, and I suck beyond words at PvP and WvW.
But I try, and that’s what counts.
The world completion system is just broken, all because of World Vs World.
I completed Tyria in 2 weeks.
I completed WvW in 1 year and 2 months.
Not broken at all, no, its completely fair and balanced. /sarcasm
If you really took 1 year and 2 months to grab 4 maps worth of Pois and vistas, I’ve some bad news for you..

You make it sound so ludicrously easy, but you forgot to mention the bit where Boarderlands used to be allocated differently, which prevented people from getting a lot of stuff for the longest of times, and the bit that involves players attempting to siege areas that may not belong to them, which may or may not be possible, depending on the circumstances.
Now WvW has had a few updates, in the form of Bloodlust and now powerful siege stuff is more widely available such as Golems, its a bit easier to siege most places, but theres still a few hard to get areas such as the keeps, and certain towers in easy to defend places. However, its still pretty hard, depending on how good your server is at WvW, and RNG.

I had my full WwW maps about 1 month after getting into the game as far as I recall. It may not be exact, but it was still really fast, especially at launch where defending wasn’t organized and any semi decent guild raids would wreck anything on its way. I have 2 full map completions, and my WwW maps are completed on 5 or 6 chars minus the skillpoints I didn’t take the time to get. And i’m mainly a dungeoneer. If you mind that much playing all the aspects of the game to get a reward, follow the advices up there, mainly the “wait reset evening/night”. You may not get it in 2 weeks but after a bit of match ups switching you’ll end up getting these.
@ oxtred – How easy it is to get WvW map completion depends a LOT on your Server. It’s actually easiest to get it on a mid line server that fluctuates rankings week to week (so the color changes a bit). If you are on a Top server in your tier you will likely always be GREEN but you have the rest of the WvW players caping and running with you to get the other colors (and more importantly Stonemist). If your Server is ALWAYS last, you will have a tough time clearing WvW maps….VERY TOUGH if you are actually attempting it solo.
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
Well, they’re changing World Bases every month, so for an exemple:
April:
Sea of Sorrows - Red
Black Gate - Blue
Vabbi - Green
May:
Black Gate - Red
Vabbi - Blue
Sea of Sorrows - Green
etc...
I had this problem back too , but check everytime you’re playing how your World district are doing in WvW and check if they’ve got the PoI you want in their control and if they do, RUUNNNN FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!
It’s all about time!!
I was surprised that I managed to get all WvW points for world completion in about a week.
I ran around grabbing everything I could solo – creeping into some areas, grabbing a POI while my conjured weapons distracted the guards, etc. Then I just kept checking for the towers/keeps/etc. I was lucky, we must have had an active week.
But waiting for that last POI to flip…. then hoping I wouldn’t get killed running way into ‘enemy’ territory… interesting!
You might want to wait a while until the tournament starts to get it. A lot of servers are intentionally tanking their ranks now so they can cheese the system for easy victories on tournament start, and it may well be the case that your server is one of those doing the tanking – which means you will be getting pretty much zero support for now.
But when the tournament starts you can probably cap every point you need on nearly all your characters with your world zerg.
The worlds that aren’t tanking at the moment are the worlds who should be able to get the PoIs very easily in the absence of resistance… so if you’re having problems it is likely that your world is attempting to tank.
