Guild Wars 2

I’m not 100% sure if it’s just me, or a few people, but I’ve been determined to get 100% map completion, and it’s proving darn near impossible with WvW maps being included. I’m on the Isle of Janthir server, and every time I, or a group of friends and I try to roam the map to get these points, we always run into a zerg and die.
I find it unfair to make people who don’t like playing WvW to have to play it for map completion.
Is there any way in the possible future (you think?) that we can keep those maps separate when it comes to completion?
What is your opinion on the 100% map completion containing WvW? Do you like the extra challenge, or is it just incredibly annoying as it is for me?

It’s incredibly easy to just wait for Friday ktrain day and get all the map completions you want. Or buddy up to a decent guild group and have them ninja somewhere. Reset is also a good time, since everything paper.

Honestly, it’s not that hard. Maybe it’s the hardest thing PvErs have to go through in their GW2 career, but that’s not saying much. PvE too stronk.

Just like WvW players are forced to do pve if they want legendaries/ascended gear, anet wants pve players to come to wvw for their world completion. This is their way to introduce players to wvw. If players don’t like it they’ll leave and never come back after finally completing it. But if they do like it, they’ll stick around and eventually become new wvw players.

That’s how the game works. You’ll just have to deal with it. I suggest joining a wvw guild or getting acquainted with your server’s wvw community. I got it done within a few days because I got on my server ts and ran with the wvw players. Now I only play wvw.

I also suggest not waiting to do wvw last, but check in at least weekly and get the zones under your control on all toons you may want 100% on. I waited for over a month for my first completion because we never controlled the vista. / poi (when I was on).

After that I watched what color we were weekly and ran multiple toons through wvw wherever we had good control. That method worked way better as pve zones ended up being the ones that I needed to finish completion on.

After seasons you may see more color variation in wvw as well which makes some areas of the map more easily mapped.

I find it unfair to make WvW players PVE to get map completion!

Map completion is a time consuming process no matter what you prefer (PvX or WvW). There’s some good advice in this thread though …

1) Take your time, check in every Friday at reset and try to get into a group. The group likely won’t help you do completion on purpose, but you’ll certainly get some completion as a result.

2) Join a WvW guild, learn to play WvW and be a team player in that guild. They’ll be more likely to help you on slow nights to get things taken care of. Never know, you may find that you like WvW after you get good at it.

3) Don’t do WvW maps last, save at least on PvE area to do as you last zone for completion. Your completion bonus reward will be based on the area you are in … if you complete in WvW, you’ll get a bonus related to WvW.

Lastly, this will never change as a mechanic in map completion. ANet wants players to experience all aspects of the game and intentionally makes certain things difficult, such as map completion and creating a Legendary.

Have patience, this isn’t something you can do in a matter of days.

Another day another map completion QQ thread

I find it unfair to make PVP players PVE AND WVW to get map completion!

But seriously, that is the whole point to get map completion, heck it is really the only “legendary” thing about making a legendary. Being able to say that you covered all of Tyria on your way to making a legendary is a good thing.

Okay, I get why some people hate WvW but some people who do WvW hate PvE, I recently completed map completion and my last vista and last thing too get was in the inner of Stormbluff Isles Garrison, I got it eventually with patience and a golem rush… BUT the point I wanna make is, The reason too why they may have map completion including WvW is too perhaps attract people there too actually keep people playing WvW. Also its not fair if you have too do PvE content only too get a legendary, I play WvW maybe there should be a way too make different legendarys or different skins for PvE and WvW legendaries… I don’t know, but I would quit moaning about it, it won’t happen soon.

Very well said and I feel sorry for ya It’s harder for you out of all of us, I do Purely WvW but had too torture myself with PvE content and now have too grind too get money for the legendary… If you are or want too get a legendary, good luck!

And I think its unfair that you have to run in pve map to finish it, live with it.

And PvE players complain that they have to do WvW to get map completion. Get over it – I got it – it wasn’t that hard.

It is fine to require WvW for map completion. But you shouldn’t have to do all 3 borderlands. Since all 3 borderlands are identical discovering 1 point should count as discovering it in all 3.

Also they need to rotate what color your realm is, Maguuma has been Red for the past 2 months, so it makes getting EBG or non Maguuma BL PoI’s near impossible.

QQ more!
It is part of the ‘difficulties’ in obtaining a legendary. Live with it (or transfer server).

Over the course of this tournament of which we are at the end of Week 3, We (IoJ) have been both Red, and Blue. This should have afforded you 66% of your Map completion since the beginning of the tournament. The coming week of the tournament should place us as Green, so keep your eye open for that.

As I’m writing this post, we’re ticking 380, so get out there and ask the commander leading the friday K train to take you to your Pois. be like "Hey Commander ************, can we go get “hard-to get objective”

If your main window of time to play is when you posted, well, i’m sorry but you play in one of our dead zones.

I see you can’t detect Sarcasm and didn’t read the original post where yet again, a PvE player complains because something isn’t handed to them on a silver platter in an effort to get ANET to change it.

They get constant content updates and real world bonuses from WvW and its still not enough for some, WvW/sPvP get virtually nothing for many months and when something comes along, it’s of little importance.

If any group of people have the right to complain, it’s the people who PvP (sPvP & WvW).

Rant over.

BTW, I have map completion on 8 characters. I got “over it”.

WvW maps should continue to be a part of Map Completion. Completing the WvW maps can be annoying, but not nearly as annoying as completing the other 30 or so maps in Tyria.

I’m on IoJ. Add me as a friend and we can get stuff together. Our guild does organized runs in WvW all the time. Friday nights at reset is the best time. It’s not hard…just can’t do it in 10 mins. It’s going to take time. Anyway i have a ranger i need to map WvW with so ya…

I have a necro and a warrior with 100%. I usually play early mornings and later evening pacific standard time.

Finally, i think if you look at it more as an opportunity to try a new game mode…that happens to be way more interesting than PvE… you can have fun instead of feeling it’s a chore. I’m glad WvW is part of msp completion and i hope ANet never changes that.
