I always made it a point to get full PVE world completion on all characters. Just didn’t get the WVW maps on any but my main, because I don’t WANT to play those other characters in WvW.

The latest patch removed WvW as a requirement, so these characters had 100% completion the moment I logged them in. I did not, however, get the reward chest on any of them. I tried relogging and changing zones, but that did not help. Suggestions/fix would be welcome.

I thought it would kick in on one of my characters, until I realised I was missing a couple of hearts (the ones added to the lower zones), and I’d only half completed two cities. Not saying this is what’s happened to you, but double check you have 100% on all map sections (via the world map stats, and if necessary, you can hover your mouse cursor over each name on the world map and it’ll tell you if it’s 100% or not).

Full PVE world completion kinda means 100%. It says so on my log-in screen too. So no, I have NOT forgotten anything…

You only need to have fully completed the world on one char to get 100% on the log-in screen. It might be worth going thro all the others carefully, given the number of WP/PoI changes there have been over the years.

Actually, that is not true. The world completion percentage shown is that of the CHARACTER SELECTED. I have had full world completion on my ranger for 2 years now. When I selected her, she was 100%, when selecting the others, they showed different percentages. The 4 that are not yet 100% on PVE still do… so er… please don’t spread misinformation.

Sgloomi is referring to the medal for completion, which only requires completion on one character to appear. It appears with any other account medals you may have, such as PvP progress. It may not, however, display first as Achievements/Upcoming Rewards is the default.

Characters selected show individual stats - could you provide those stats for the characters who are missing out? Are they all the same, or are they different?

I’m not entirely certain why the confusion. As I mentioned in my OP, I did not receive the reward chest, which should be given for each character that reaches 100% world completion, and contains the Gift of Exploration (x2). As of last patch, three of my characters qualified (world completion percentage in the log-in screen is 100%), and none received the chest.

Please note, this should not be confused with the percentage you see when opening the world map. This account is old, and quite a lot of POI/hearts/vistas/sp have been added since I completed all these zones. The devs mentioned several times in the past that those only mattered for world completion for characters that had not yet completed those zones. Once a zone is completed, it stays registered as completed for the total. Or it should, anyway.

Theres only like 20- maybe 30 new things max that have been added, why not just go run through them?

I understand what you’re saying. I also understand that if you completed the zone before and a new poi was added, you do not have to get the POI to complete the zone again, as it already counts for completion.

However, I will say that you may want to somehow check each zone individually to make sure it says you completed it. I remember on my char I got world completion with, I was still missing a few things and on the log in screen it said i had 100% completed. This was before this patch (my installer is completely bugged so I haven’t even played the new patch). I guess I was so close to 100% that it rounded up: fortunately for me I knew what I needed yet and knew I didn’t have 100%.

If you are sure you are 100% pve completed I am assuming this is just another bug associated with this patch and I am not surprised at all. There are so many bugs with this patch apparently: just look around on the forums.

There’s no confusion. There’s just making sure certain boxes are ticked and suggesting possible causes. No one’s trying to second guess you, just trying to help – you did ask for suggestions. All I know is, I was in a similar position, thought I’d get the chest and all that, and there were still a few things missed (for example, the three “new” hearts in Plains of Ashford and Caledon Forest, despite previously completing the areas to 100%). I went and did them, and received the rewards for doing so – so whereas PoIs for areas such as the Silverwastes don’t count, those hearts in the starting areas do, even if you’ve done the area before.

But if you’ve done those hearts, done absolutely everything, then it is a bug, and nothing can be suggested other than to either wait for a fix or submit a ticket (also bugged, last I read).

For my part, the glitch is a bit more specific. This is for my primary, who had 96% world completion before the most recent update. I logged in, and found that I had my chest with 2 Gifts of Exploration, no problem. Then I went to my achievements screen, saw the I got Been There, Done That .. but did not get the component awards for each zone. I show Ascalon Explorer at 176/177, Maguuma Explorer at 166/167, and Shiverpeak Explorer at 168/175. Kryta Explorer was finished.

So, do WvW zones count for this, or do I need to slog through each zone and find what I’ve missed.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

The answer to your problem is Chantry of Secrets.

Even if you are 100% certain that you’ve gotten Chantry of Secrets on all your characters, that is still where you should go, as going there has fix similar problems for players since the game was first launched. Something about world change or instance somesuch.

Also, as other people have said, if you haven’t gone back to any of the starting zones since the September Feature patch (specifically Plains of Ashford and Caledon Forest) you might want to check back there and see if you’re missing one of the new hearts that were added (which might not be enough to alter the % on your character’s map completion rating)

Finally, if neither of those work, as a last-ditch, I’d try going to Wuv and getting a vista/PoI you haven’t yet on that character. While they might have been removed from World Completion, might be possible that the fact they once were will jog the game into recognizing your World Completion-ness.

World Completion and Region Explorer Achievements are two different things. To finish the Region Explorer Achievements, you will need to fully explore those regions (un-fog all areas). You can read tips about doing so in the Wiki (link above).

Good luck.

I think it depends on how old your character is, and when it did the zone completions. My ranger has been 100% (including WvW) since month 3 or so of the game, but some zones show 98% or so for her, because new things were added since she finished that zone.

edit: Ah, I see I misunderstood… the achievements you speak of are NOT linked to zone completion. They deal with hidden areas on the map, often related to mini dungeons and jump puzzles

Entirely possible, yes. But when I mouse over each zone, it says 100%. Have checked that point quite frequently.

See my edit. You need to find some hidden areas in each region, like jump puzzles and mini dungeons.

Have seen edit. Will now pursue that line of exploration. I’m sure that’s it!

Not every area for the explorer achievements has a PoI or something else that you need for World map completions.

I’ve almost positive the last place you need for magumma is Aurora’s Remains in Brisban. As for the others, I’d use the completed zone maps shown in the wiki and compare them with your maps as seen on the world map screen. If you find a place on your map that’s still paint-y and isn’t on the wiki, that’s probably the last place you need to visit.

You find missing areas for explorer achivement or for anything that is missing really, by changing the content guide settings. It will show a little man hiking on the mini map if you are in the zone that has something unexplored. The man icon thing will be visible instantly on the mini map in one if it’s corners indicating which direction the unexplored area is.

You can show 100% completion without being 100% complete

  • You got 100% of a map before a Living Story chapter added/removed/changed a POI, WP, Heart (I don’t think there were any vista changes).
  • The zone continues to show as “100%” until you return to that map.

The easiest way to see if this is the issue is to return to the Chantry of Secrets and exit. Often, that triggers some map completion subroutine, recalculating your % and, if the game thinks you have 100%, you’ll get your reward when you exit.

If it’s not that, you’ll have to systematically return to each map that might have been changed. Fortunately, there are only a few such maps and I think the wiki has the list under the map completion article. Off the top of my head: gendarran, Div Reach, LA, Wayfarer, Kessex, Lornar’s, Bloodtide, and perhaps the NPE-changed zones, Caledon, Metrica, Ashford, Queensdale.

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out — I’m sure you’re not the only one in this situation.

I just did work completion and got credit just now 3/17/15 at 945pm est. My charater that I got it on was created 241 days ago.

Edit I didn’t have WvW conplete before getting this completion. So it doesn’t have anything to do with that most liekly at it seems to be working.
