Guild Wars 2

Please investigate and correct. It doesn’t appear to be working at all this time. It isn’t showing any poi, vistas, hearts or skill points that need to be completed.

Did you try running a client repair or making a ticket to discuss it with support?

It won’t show any POI, Vistas or Waypoints in covered areas. Looking at your image, you still have areas blurred out. Is this not a case where in that map, you’ve uncovered all the visible POIs and stuff, but not from areas yet to be uncovered? Or is it happening even if you can see a POI you’ve not got to yet?

No that’s only in the orr maps. This screenshots shows the player is in Iron Marches currently and in those maps it usually shows the unexplored areas nearby correctly. However for me in all the 3 orr maps this is broken, unless i go into the unexplored area and it will guide me to all the heropoints, vistas etc. But if i have everything in the currently explored areas already done, it guides me directly to the nearby portal to Malchor’s leap or Cursed shore. Even if the full map still needs to be explored.

As far as I know, the Content Guide doesn’t show Vistas, Waypoints, PoIs in uncovered areas. Even those areas that a character has been to, but ‘fog’ up, again, after leaving.

Else, it would be easy to get that last Vista, PoI, etc. when trying to complete a map, and I would not have to resort to the Wiki. =)

You can also hover over the icon of the thing you’re missing on the worldmap and it will point out exactly which one you missed, if its in a discovered area.
If not then still the content guide should show you which nearby area you didnt discover yet.

Maybe it should, but it does not. Even in discovered areas, a missing PoI, Vista, etc. won’t show up unless it’s included in shown map, and, of course, one can’t have the map zoomed out very far, or one loses the function completely.

One has to be pretty close to undiscovered areas before the guide picks them up.

Regardless, I don’t believe there’s anything ‘bugged’ with showing content in the Content Guide at this time. There is, however, often a lack of understanding on how it works, or what (and what not) it is supposed to indicate.

I was able to resolve the issue by changing maps. The content guild ‘should’ show you poi, vistas, wp hearts, and undiscovered areas.

It is ESSENTIAL for efficient world completion. Twice now it has been broken.

Then, you might consider a -repair of your client. If it is ‘breaking’ for you, but not for others, it may be client-specific.

Good luck.
