Guild Wars 2

This is in reference to our clones / phantasms not having the star upon world completion.

Is this issue fixed or is it still a problem?

I’m only 1 vista away from world completion, and have been holding off on doing so solely because of this.

Yes, not fixed yet. Hold off.

Would be nice if this is corrected, Mesmers going for their legendary weapon are at a huge disadvantage because of this. No other class is affected like this

I thought I saw someone mention in another thread that you can turn this off? Hrmm, maybe they were talking about the commander icon

I do agree with the OP if true, this is a HUGE disadvantage and not fair to the class at all. I’m very disappointed that something like this would go so long without getting fixed or without a moderator giving you the common courtesy to apologize for the issue and saying that they are aware of it and are or are not working on it right now

Out-manned buff also gives us away as it doesn’t show up on your clones.

Oh this is excellent news! I didn’t realize it was fixed, I’ll go ahead and nab my last vista.

Sweet!

What about the out-manned buff? It wasn’t showing on clones before which was a problem.

In my opinion, the out-manned buff should be invisible to opposing teams anyways.

This issue should be fixed; the world complete star shouldn’t show up on mesmers or their clones for opposing players in WvW or sPvP. Teammates will still be able to see the star. If opposing players can still see this, please provide details on how this occurred (if known) along with a screenshot.

Thanks, everyone!

what if i want them to see it? having a star means i’m experienced with the character, and it inspires a challenge from my opponents. how about titles; are you going to hide them, too?

Are you a noob or are you just trolling us? Having a star on your name is a major killjoy in pvp, ie makes you stand out and shows up sometimes even when you can’t be seen.

The star means nothing for PvP and little beyond that. One can visit every place in Tyria and still be incompetent at PvP, you do not see how many characters with the star the other person has, and one can have several characters with the star but his favorite PvP character is not among them.
So, somebody who thinks that the world-completion star means anything for an enemy in PvP is either talking about people who are quite easily impressed or deluding himself.
The star being invisible to enemies is nothing but a good thing. Mesmers are people, too, even when they are asuran.

Aww, do we seriously have the same problem with Outmanned?

And I agree, outmanned shouldn’t be visible for opposing teams. It’s meant to increase rewards for doing well with a lot fewer people than the others, but in effect, it’s just inviting the other two servers to steamroll you, making things even worse.

2 months later I can finish exploring the world. Thanks Anet
