@Anonymiss you’re not supposed to get any item I believe, but you should get the Been There, Done That achivement if you finished everything 100%, but I’m pretty sure it’s still bugged and is stuck on 97% max still. Hopefully when they fix it they will award you with your title and achi points.
When saying you shouldn’t get any item, that is assuming you already got your gift of the explorer for 100% completion.
To actually get 100% you need to uncover every area as you’ll see in the explorer tab, but the been there, done that achievement is bugged and currently won’t go past 97% nomatter how much you have.
Though I see what you wanted was just the completion reward. :p Not the 100% title.
@Logan The % on char select is supposed to reflect areas uncovered too, NOT just poi and vistas etc… to get 100% on char select you need to uncover absolutely everything.
Really, I’ve no idea where they could be. Some people report jumping puzzles sometimes uncovering places, others report secrets adding to completetion. No one confirmed that dungeons or instances grant exploration yet though.
Anet told us like a week ago in another thread that dungeons do NOT count towards exploration.
@Luthan I was on before and after patch, and the achievement points were indeed awarded correctly, I had 30 points more after patch than before, I have Kryta, Orr and Ascalon fully explored, missing 1 zone in Maguuma and 2 in Shiverpeaks.
Yes SnowZone, I have had world completion a long time too, I had most areas found, so when update came I am only missing 3 areas to find in the whole world, yet my Been There, Done That still says 97%, I have a hard time believeing 3 areas is 3% of the map.
Going to have to follow this thread and hope we get a red reply here, I do not dare finish my other exploration achievements before Been There, Done That is fixed. :p
the Patch changed the amount needed to get the achievement, apparently Anet couldn’t count before since all the explorer achievements had too many areas to explore compared to areas you are able to find, after the update I got all the achievements completed except Maguuma and Shiverpeaks, missing 1 and 3 on those, but I know there are people who had the correct number, so they should have them all now.
What worries me now is that my “Been There, Done That” achievement still says 97% only, even though I only need 3 areas uncovered, which is WAY WAY less than 3%…
A lot of people posting about it in this thread, but we are fairly sure you need 100% of all areas uncovered too for the achievement.
Though it seems most areas are impossible to find everything, people keep getting stuck on the same amount, like 175/178 in Kryta for example.
From what I can tell, pretty much all the maps are quite rectangular in shape. So if you look at your map and see that somewhere there is something like a corner missing, go there and see if you can fill that space. Also, look at this map, if it helps. BTW, do you have all the POI’s, etc., discovered in Kryta?
Sorry but that map really don’t help anyone as they have not actually put in fully explored maps, and also do not include uncovered area names, places like Malchors fingers don’t even show on those maps cause they cut it out, and other places it shows as if you’ve explored places that can’t be explored.
do dungeons count as areas? I’ve yet to do them and I too am stuck at 175. I don’t really want to run around aimlessly to find out I alread had 100% except the dungeons ;-)
Dungeons do not count, Anet confirmed that in another thread about 100% map completion. What counts are WvW maps, all explorable areas and cities, dungeons in any modes do not count towards the achievements.
Mine is stuck at 21126 exp, and not progressing. I thought it resets when that happens.
No, it will always show the highest you got for the current month on the tracker. It will start moving again when you catch up to the point you died last. Though it is still bugged and acts as if you died whenever you change instance.
Likely not, it’s not very hard to get the achievement even with the bug that resets the tracking everytime you change an instance. I recommend doing crafting to get it easily, just craft a lot in one session.
If you are high enough lvl Orr is also a great place to get it if you are careful, it takes me about 20 minutes to get it just by killing things in Orr, completing 2 or so events in the process.
PvP and dungeons maps (including their exploration mode) count toward the achievement which is probably what a lot of people are missing.
Dungeon maps do NOT count towards the achievement, I have uncovered several dungeons while keeping an eye on the explorer tracks, it changes nothing when you do uncover areas in dungeons.
I think the way GW2 checks the hints is kind of bugged, which also affects the achievement for completing hints.
1. Finish Foes in PvP
>> I have done the complete PvP tutorial before entering the Heart of Mists and I have finished people in WvW. I have not unlocked the hint though. I can not remember if I ever saw the hint pop up.
>>> Solution that worked after experimenting: Kill a profession foe in the Heart of the Mists training area and close the hint at the [x].
2. Mailbox is full
>> A full mailbox does not trigger the hint, at least not when the envelope turns red. After several zonings today (with a full mailbox), the hint finally appeared. For a guildie the hint did not appear at all.
3. Pet swap F4
>> I acquired more pets (via the HoM) and swapped them with F4. The hint never appeared. The F2 hint worked, when I clicked the guard/heal button.
4. Broken Armor
>> Although my armour was broken several times, the hint to visit a Repair NPC never appeared, even when hovering over the small red shield next to my life orb or in the inventory.
>>> Solution that worked after experimenting: equip and un-equip the broken piece of equipment several times. I think it activated the hint after the third swap
5. Achievement track
>> Although I only have the Pet F4 thing missing, the title track shows just 77 out of 82 hints completed. Unless some hints are not listed or are uncovered later, something is wrong.
I know, not very important things, but still strange and thing sthat should be fixed somehow.
I was missing only mailbox and pet swap and it said 77 too, I managed to get mailbox one to trigger and now it says 81/82. So it will hopefully finish completely for you when you manage to swap a pet, I am currently trying to make it happen, but it seems futile…
I did find getting to some of the Vistas was so very hard to get to.
I think some of them are very hard for people who hasn’t play with game systems.
I had some of my guild mates just total quit and uninstall the game over they getting so very upset about getting to come of the Vistas over having to go through a jumping game to get to them.
I happen to like them but I can also see why they should be made a little more easy to get to.. Or maybe they just need to be removed off Zone finishing and maybe make it something extra if you want to take time to finish them.
I know of 3 people that have total quit the game over just the Vista. They loved the game but just get so mad about them too..
Just adding my two cents to this.
Surely nobody quit just because of the vistas, definitely not if they loved the rest of the game seeing how vistas are completely optional! And almost all of the vistas are really easy to get to.
why would someone quit something they really liked just because there was something optional added to it that they have no reason to do if they don’t want to.
It’s almost like saying someone quit because the game has PvP and they don’t want to do anything but PvE. Or say PvP should not have achievements since they don’t like PvP.. See it makes no sense, it’s an optional part of the game so ignore it if you don’t like it, seriously.
Can’t complain about HoM, we knew about it for a long long time before gw2, if you were unwilling to play gw1 for it you certainly have no right to think of it as unfair.
I don’t know who decided to put jumping puzzles in an MMORPG, but it wasn’t a good idea. They can stay, for casual players that like content like that, but the requirement to do them must be removed from what’s needed to complete a zone. I haven’t found any that I wasn’t able to do, but some of them were just purely annoying, and felt like a waste of time, as I was not enjoying it at all, but needed them for the zone completion and the exp that comes along with that
The worst, and most time consuming one I found was one in the South of Dredgehaunt Cliffs, which took me almost 15 minutes to do. This sort of thing just doesn’t belong in an MMO
Vistas are NOT jumping puzzles, they are 2 seperate things. But aside from that, nothing is really forcing you to take the vistas, nobody fault if you have to find everything. Some people do enjoy the views and like the vistas, no reason to take those away just because you personally don’t enjoy it.
And no, I don’t really care too much for the vistas themselves either, I like the view as I walk around, but I see no reason to not have them.
When there’s 8 Classes, it is. If there were only 5 Classes it would be fine
It’s not pay to win, if you just PvP you only have to delete your character if you want to make another profession. You get boosted to lvl 80 in PvP anyway so who cares if you delete a character you just play PvP on anyway?
You’re just saying it’s pay to win because that’s the only reason you can find to give you free slots. Find some other arguement that actually is true for this. As others have said, you can get gems for gold quite easily, so it’s not that hard to get 3 more slots even without spending more irl money.
I rather have this kinda cash shop than an actual free to play pay to win game. I rarely spend money on cash shops, and here it really doesn’t matter that I don’t.
Doesn’t auto-loot option works in a way you’re looking for?
Autoloot just puts the loot in your bag without having to choose which items to loot, he wants to not have to press the same button as to talk to npc’s, because the npcs talking gets in the way. So no :p
I have all pois, vistas, skillpoints and waypoints. I have visited Chantry of Secrets but didnt get any gift of exploration. Am I missing something? (jumping puzlles etc)
You do not need to do jumping puzzles for the 100% and gift, if it says 100% map completion when you press m, then you should get your gift.
I too don’t get that hint when full mailbox..
I also want to add that even though the only 2 hints I am missing is full mailbox and pet swap for rangers, my hero tab achievement hint completion says 77/82..
So I really don’t understand what happened, if I count the hints I SHOULD have more than 77, but the tracker apparently does not think so
I got the reward but my Achievement still says 97%, Character says 98% and World says 100%. Still would like to know what else to do to get the title or if its just a bug.
Exact same numbers for me, I am assuming the title includes actually revealing every part of the map, not just finding all the poi hearts etc.. So if you go on explorer tab you’d need to have all Krytan Orr etc.. areas fully explored to get the title in the hero tab.
It is tomorrows update, or the update later tonight now. Which is pretty dumb as that gives everyone who got reset properly even more time to get their September done in time to already get a third round of monthly rewards…
I am exactly the same as you. My Experience Survivor is stuck at 81,964 and has been since August. I just checked now and my monthly achievement has still not hit 100% even after lastnights update.
Only thing I have left to do is the Experience Survivor.
it’s not stuck at 81k technically, it just shows the highest you obtained before the tracker reset due to dying. Well with the bugs to it, due to dying or changing zone/instance or relogging.
“Some players’ monthly achievements didn’t correctly reset on September 1 at 00:00 GMT. To allow those players to collect the next monthly reward, we will reset the monthly achievement of any player who is already at 100% for the month as of tomorrow night’s update.”
Well we are getting it reset it seems, but also this means they are giving anyone who did August, and also September a third set of monthly achievements over 2 months..
Since it’s been a week already in September surely a lot of the ones who got reset properly already did get 100% for September.
Do as this guy says, I had same problem as everyone else and went to Chantry of Secrets, there it gave me the 100% reward without a problem!
On a sidenote, anyone know why my achievement tracker still says 97%? while my character select screen medal says 98%, though my map says 100%? A little confused why I get all these different numbers..
Mine didn’t reset either, I thought this was because the release was shorty before the end of the month. But if some people did get reset it must be a bug. I am very into doing my daily and monthly achievements so I’d like a chance to still be able to do my monthly!
I agree, it would be nice to have the CHANCE to do the monthly, seeing as many people do get that chance there is no reason to keep others from having it at all.
I see they merged the threads, so would’ve hoped they had a reply to the issue since they obviously saw the thread. Hopefully we get a response soon.
Happened to me too, got 100% in August severeal days before September, but when it became September my Monthly achievements still stayed at 100%….. While my friends achievements reset perfectly fine.
So what, are we just gonna lose out on our monthly reward and points? Really need some proper answer on why someone doesn’t get it reset properly.
Tried twice yesterday, first time someone crashed during the cutscene where you change to the bigger airship, which in turn caused Zhaitan to never spawn AT ALL.
Second try nobody crashed during the whole dungeon and Zhaitan came normally.
