Guild Wars 2

Hello,

after a long pause I have come back to Guild Wars 2 and I wanted to complete my world exploration but I find it impossible to get to the points I need in WvWvW because our server never holds any of the points, acutally it seems it never holds anything as if WvWvW was completely dead. I checked several times during last days and the state was the same. I play on Desolation server.

I have tried to guest to a different server to get to the locations but guesting apparently doesn’t work in WvWvW.

I don’t want to pay for server transfer.

Is it even possible to complete it without server transfer?

Just check when you server is very active in WvW and try to get some people/guildies together with you to capture all you still need..
(trust me, it’ll work.. I’m on FoW and even I have map completion without ever transferring)

Thank you for replying, I appriciate it. I will try different day times.

I did some more research on forums and it seems my server (Desoaltion) is WvWvW dead – PvP guilds left and we are stuck with hyperactive 24/7 superserver due to ranking system so I won’t be able to complete it without transferring. I deeply regret I didn’t complete it back then.

i got WvW map completion under the rule of Sorrow’s Furnace tier 8 presence... something that looked like an impossibility...

it will take some patience... but it can be done

I have it on all my characters, not that hard to do :/

SF got some very weak time zones. VS is a monster in comparison. Weak time zones? Hah!
It’s nowhere close to the 24/7 coverage of some american servers, but for an european server, it’s surely impossible to handle.

Keep at it and keep checking the maps to see if your side is making a push to what you need. It only took me like 7 weeks to finish it on my first toon without getting any organize pushes going. I failed to reach the Vista I needed in front of the reclaiming zergs by less than half a minute THREE times in that period.

Just keep on trying, but not too hard. It will happen.

Ouch I feel your pain.

I was EXTREMELY lucky yesterday and finished all my borderlands exploration – positions rotated just perfectly and people went to do WvWvW and captured exactly the points I needed. Only Eternal batlegrounds now but I feel I can wait for another rotation or two.

I have the same problem. Too bad that most of what i’m missing it’s in the green areas and no way SFR is gonna be green anytime soon :\

I’m not sure if many of you realise but for some of us, it’s not as simple as checking in every now and then to see if your server is controlling points. The second and third placed servers in my group repeatedly get owned by the first place server every week and at all times of the day. This means that some POIs and Vistas cannot be accessed because they just never flip, ESPECIALLY the ones inside the green battlegrounds. I’ve been stuck on 99% completion for a while now because of it. It’s a horredous mistake on anet’s end. Not only this but defending the same territories every week gets very boring.

Now that server transfers aren’t free, you’re more than likely to see the leaderboard stabilise which means your colour isn’t likely to rotate. Only way to fix this problem is to either randomise the colours every week or remove the WvWvW areas from the map completion altogether. And no, paying for a server transfer is not a good solution.

Don’t see a problem with EU T1 from a world completion stance. Your getting owned. Good. Now you will drop down the tiers. Make sure you pick up everything for the colour you are now because you will be changing colour in a different Tier if your getting that badly owned that not all points are acheiveable in a week or two.
