Guild Wars 2

Since the moderators here are overly heavy handed I will be more specific and not bring a joking attitude to threads.

The current game design requires 3 Borderlands and Eternal Battlegrounds completed for 100% map completion in the game. The design is poorly thought out, I think, because you need to get 100% map completion for legendaries right? Which means that WvWvW is severely limiting to who can get it.

Right now SoS, JQ, and SBI are hardly flipping anything in Eternal Battlegrounds. Mendons if SBI pushes really hard. I need Langors and a couple other keeps in the NE side of the map. I’ve been here for days, probably 10+ hours a day and no such luck. I’m not alone as I mentioned it in map chat and people responded with similar numbers. 99%, 98% and so forth.

I can’t understand why that the WvW maps would be included especially where 3 of them are identical. Does anyone else support the idea of removing them from map completion? The new map doesn’t count towards the total but 2 new PoIs were added to Lions Arch. That makes me believe it wouldn’t be entirely difficult for that change.

And there isn’t any other down-to-business methods of me delivering this thread so if it just gets infracted have fun with the iron fist.

well, I have no problem with it. ANet intended legendaries owner to be master of GW2.
WvWvW is part of GW2 so you can’t take out from getting legendaries. Apart from map completion, you’ll need 500 badges of honor anyway.
See what they say on legendaries:
“Legendary Weapons are an impressive meld of art and effects. They show off your accomplishments and allow you to change your character’s footprints, projectiles, and much more. They’re designed to stand out and show everyone that you are a true master of Guild Wars 2.”

True. Yet, no sPvP requirements.

This is true about legendaries. But most people who have gotten world completion or even their legendaries now did their wvw completions before the free transfers were changed to 7 days. We used to be able to change servers to get that one or two points we needed to get 100%, then switch back. Right now, it’s 7 days so it’s harder for people to do that anymore. The current requirements for world completion don’t have to be changed, but it’s a bit unfair how people who have yet to do their wvw map completions face a far greater challenge than people who have previously done it, so at the end of the day something should be done to even it out.

This would only be a problem is the server you are in don’t have the slightest chance of owning the map (like SM for example). Competitiveness is again the problem! How to make them even and competitive servers for everyone to enjoy and to make their business? If that question could be answered, you would get 100% completion very fast, instead of the need to switch to a dominant server and 7 days later, get back again!

I got it when we were like rank 10, didn’t have to change servers. Though yeah one of my guildies needs one more poi for 100% and its the SBI garrison in EB, guess he only has to wait a couple days

I think transferring off to another server to get 100% map completion (if not clever) is a quite silly expectation and one that I don’t think AreaNet had or should have. Good luck, Seren. I got furious because Jade Quarry wiped SBI off Langor’s. I’ve been trying for days. This is like the first time in 4-5 days they’ve even gone near Langors and that was only because SoS flipped their main keep so Langors wasn’t 100% covered with siege from the keep.

The likely hood for SBI to get ogreswatch or whatever is low. Unless we luckily roll that color or whatever. I dont know how colors are determined. Its at best annoying. I love WvW and I love map completion but I seriously do not support the combination of both. Give a reward for completing WvW maps that is really nice and good incentive but don’t count it toward PvE world completion.

As I understand it the colours are determined by your rank in the tier. So Sos will be getting SBI’s colour at the current rate according to matchups, so all the tier 1 colours should flip next reset

In order of rank, the colours are: Green, blue, red.

See if you can get a group together at the hour that the enemy server is the weakest. My alt got all pois and vistas inside keep/towers and just needs some skillpoints, vistas and pois in random places because i joined our server’s morning zerg with her.

Otherwise, wait for rank change.

SoS has remarkable coverage. NoPe does well during east coast’s night/early morning, but the Koreans around 7-9am manage to push more. So far Jade Quarry, SoS, and SBI have been equal with flips here and the battle was always at SM. Which makes getting points deep in enemy lands just difficult.
