Guild Wars 2

I competed 3 of the hearts in Ember bay last night and when I logged in this morning I had zero progress on ANY of the hearts. How is it possible that I completed the LS chapter and have zero progress on Ulaa or the others?

They are repeatable daily. It is in the release notes.

They should have been called events then and not required for map completion. Dumbest idea to date imo.

There are separate and accidentally competing mechanics:

• Good feature: repeatable hearts (for earning karma, coin, event credit).
• Original mechanic: hearts are required for map completion.
• Bad result: we are forced to repeat the hearts to complete the map, unless we finish the last POI+Vista+WP before reset.
• Bad result #2: we are also forced to repeat the heart to make use of the NPC’s vendor services.

There are a couple of ways to fix this:

• Remove hearts from map completion.
• Set up an additional ‘flag’ that shows that each heart has been completed at least once. Let that flag count for map completion and vendor.

I prefer the first.

There is an infinity symbol beneath the heart if that helps any. They’re already flagged as repeatable.

Illconceived pretty much sums it up. It’s theoretically possible for someone with limited daily time to never get map completion even if they do every heart on that map dozens of times, if they can’t squeeze all 5 into a single cycle. I certainly hope this wasn’t intended, and I expect Anet will probably take one of the 2 options to stop the roadblock. I actually prefer a separate flag be used myself, but either will work.

I like that they are repeatable, but daily reset should not interfere with 100% map completion. I am running my 3rd character through completing the map and on the way to the last POI daily reset and now I have to go back and do all 5 hearts over again. The initial heart completion should be retained regardless of the daily reset.

Oh you have to have them all filled at once? That is dumb.

All on the same day.

Separate repeat ability from map completion and vending.

I redid one of the hearts in ember bay today where the skritt are. After completing the heart i could not access the vendor or enter the area that is blocked even though the heart was re-completed.

This was supposed to be fixed with the patch today.
