Guild Wars 2

Who thought that was a good idea? It isn’t. After all that trouble filling up the map on Tyria, finding out I have to play a mode I don’t like to get the rest kills my motivation.

Probably the same people who thought wvw was going to be a casual game type

Seriously you could necro 100 threads on this subject, done WvW maps on 8 characters it is not hard.

This subject has been brought up at least twice a week since launch. Nothing has happened, just do it and move on like the rest of us.

(Searches “WvW maps for 100% completion”. No results.)

Well, I’ve found it frustrating so far for just one character. Only one or two waypoints you can use, having to run and hide constantly, dying every time I get dragged into a fight, some points of interest and vistas unreachable because they’re in enemy keeps, and so on. It’s not fun at all.

This slap in the face is almost as bad as forcing people to group for a dungeon to finish their Personal Story, which was soloable up until that.

I can’t agree more with Nilkkemia, I have spent the last month almost in trying to complete the mapping with little or no joy. Checking the map every time I log on, and multiple times in playing time still has gained me virtually nothing. I’m still on 98%. It’s so frustrating, especially as its a style of gameplay I find mind-numbingly boring.

I cant afford to change servers, thats astronomical, especially as I would have to do it twice for map completion and once more to return to my chosen home world. I really dont see the point it it. If they wanted players to try a different type of gameplay I’m sure there are better ways of encouraging that.

I for one won’t be repeating this with my other 4 characters!

if people were smart,they would have done this in free transfers when 1 server was stomping others thru the week, but no you complete 98% of the rest of the game and come here and whine about the “injsutice”.

Try searching for “World Completion” instead.
A thread jsut like this died about… a day ago maybe?

I know right! Here I am sitting on 38% map completion just to find out if I want to finish I need to explore all 100% of the game and go into those PvE zones. I mean geesh, fighting an AI mob just gets so boring.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Arenanet please remove map completion from PvE zones. I don’t want to play a mode I don’t like. It kills my motivation.

The thing that makes me smile most about this is its 4 maps you change colour omce in a while and unless your bottom of tier 8 its going to happen eventually.

Now look at it from a WvW players prospective, OMG he has to complete loads of maps he has absolutely no interest in and keeps him away from WvW for days.

QQ more please, deal with it like thousands of other players did before you.

Additionally, anet, please removed the PvE aspect of making a Legendary. I don’t like it, it kills my motivation, and it just gets sooooo boring.

QQ More OP.

And I look forward to camping the Map Completion parts of the map just to grief you PvE’rs.

I know right? Who would have thought that to get something called a legendary, players would have to do well in all aspect of the game?!
Stop your QQ and help your server.
Getting killed inWvW? Stop your QQ and learn your class.
Want to do it the easy way? Spend gold and transfer…legendaries are already a money pit, so what’s an extra bit of gold?

Except that legendary weapons are an entirely PvE concept. The fact that you don’t have to sPvP proves it. Map completion should not require any PvP because even that is entirely a PvE idea. You can even do jumping puzzles to get your badges.

In GW1, vanquisher and cartographer were both 100% PvE. See a trend? WvW is PvP and should have nothing to do with achieving PvE goals.

We get people like you a lot. And as someone who does WvW a lot, I don’t think it is for it is for everyone, but since it is a part of the requirement, you might as well help your server. Know your class, stay with a group, and use teamwork. You get your map completion and the server gets more manpower in the process. Just play smart like you would in a dungeon.

A lot of us feel the same about leveling. Well, guess what? You don’t need 100% completion. You only need it to get a legendary that has the same stats as an exotic. So, either do the completion or don’t. There is no reason to complain.

Sounds like you get killed alot in WvW.

It’s ok, not everyone deserves a nice ‘shinny’ which does absolutely nothing other than make you look different…

Nothing to see here, move along.

Not everybody plays on a strong WvW server. Just look at Vabbi’s score for the last two months. If you are getting owned week after week you simply have no chance at all to complete the map. There is nothing you can do to get that POI in Bay if the fortress is in the enemy’s hands for the last four matches, and this is where the game fails.

POIs within towers and fortresses should at least be made accessible from the outside.

You know what I’d do if I were stuck in the OP, or any of these other scrubs shoes?

Create a guild. Gather up all the PvE map completion seekers (there are a lot of them), grab anyone else I could find, make some aliances, then go out and siege my way to all the map completion I wanted.

Honestly, for all of you who are actually WvW’rs, you know how easy it is 5 man ninja a keep. Get 10 players together, or a zerg, and if you want something you can cap it no matter what. The WvW battlefield is constantly evolving, and even Tier 1 mass zerg servers can’t be everywhere at once.

Just suck it up, pay the gold fee to transfer to vizuna, set the alarm clock to 5am and then you should be able to get everything. At least that’s how I did it and I imagine most ppl used the same tactics.

If all pve’rs on a server did this just even for one match, they’d have them all.

Expecting teamwork on an MMO is clearly too much to ask.

Well, I’ll just give up on it then. I figured that getting 100% maps would be a nice little goal that I could do myself, plus the map on Tyria looks quite nice when it’s all filled in.

But I guess it’s better to not have goals at all.

I think that the new guild missions is a thumb in the eye from Anet for everyone that wants WvW and PvE separate. Letting people know a few days before that they will need Art of War 5 to start the first mission…seems like an intentional jab to me. I love WvW and can’t wait to see the forums ablaze when the content does come out.

I have to do PvE to get gear and gold to pay for siege, repairs, upgrades, PvE nonsense buffs. Laurels, fractals, and now guild mission rewards are the only ways to get ascended gear and they’re all PvE modes and just thinkin about them makes me vomit.

I don’t care that you have to log in and walk to a couple vistas so you can have a shiny weapon or gold star or whatever.

This made me laugh. I bet you would never dream of complaining about the stupidity that is getting badges from a jumping puzzle. It’s bad enough that the JP badges give you rewards at a much faster rate than actually playing the PvP that is intended to get them, but to think that you probably believe the JP should be neutral.

I don’t see you complaining about how you get your badges by circumventing the PvP you were intended to do, so maybe being forced to get map completion can somehow make you PvP.

What’s that? You don’t like PvP? Well I hate PvE and I have to do that if I want a legendary. WvW is a PvP/PvE Hybrid of sorts and you have to grind and earn all of your gear. Many players take immense pride being able to WvW with their hard earned skins and gear sets, something that sPvP completely lacks and is a huge discouragement for me to play it personally (among a million other reasons). Whether you like it or not, WvW is part of a legendary, and that includes map completion.

I hope I face you so I can stake your carebear kitten 5 feet short of that last vista.

I feel the same way.

Why do I have to play a game mode I don’t like in order to get map completion? I don’t like PvE. Map completion should consist of ONLY the WvW content.

I also hate pve, remove pve from gw2 please

It’s not even hard to get the wvw maps done so why complain? Just do the wvw content at odd hours instead.

You don’t have to play WvW. Nobody is forcing you to get the Gift Of Exploration. Nobody is forcing you try to get a legendary weapon. The legendary weapons are supposed to be a reward for mastering every aspect of the game, if you don’t want to play one of the major parts of the game then, frankly, you don’t deserve the legendary weapon.

Optional content, no one is forcing you, don’t like it don’t do it, yadda yadda yadda. Copy/Paste from the other half billion posts on this subject.
