Guild Wars 2

If this issue is still open, I completed my last hint with a brand new elementalist and it didn’t immediately show 83/83. However, as soon as I finished the starting area (killing the earth beast…I was human) it showed as complete in the hero panel (did not get a fancy alert with it though).

Everything is going as planned…so far.

For those who don’t know, my stream is based around a simple challenge…well, maybe not simple. The goal is 100% map and story line completion. The rules are:

> No Crafting
> No Trading Post (buying or selling)
> No Food
> No Boosters
> No Items From Other Players (Mail)
> No Using Laurels

And most obviously…

> NO DEATHS

The penalty for failure? Give everything away and delete the character!

I’ve completed all the cities and all the starter areas. I know what you’re thinking and I agree, that isn’t THAT impressive yet. Things might start getting a little hotter as I move forward to bigger and better areas so if you want to watch me succeed (or die), come tune-in and cheer me on (or cheer on whatever is hitting me!)

Character Name: Ixl Evey Ixl (eye-ex-el)
Race: Human
Class: Thief
Server: Sanctum of Rall

A small shout out to Idalia Caiman for being the first viewer to not only watch but join me on my journey. He received four free unidentified dyes (cause that’s what I had to give out at the time) and ended up with a White Gold dye (~2G on the TP). Not bad.

I will end with a few questions (if you read this far):

1. Should I include jumping puzzles in this challenge? Some of them will be an absolute train wreck but anything for the fans.

2. Should I include dungeons in this challenge? Another train wreck waiting to happen but you know what I’d say about that.

Have any other ideas to tack on? Let me know in a reply!

When you factor in people being aware of my goals and hoping to ruin it, this is quite true. I see it as another part of the challenge though.

Quick question to would-be viewers, do you think it should be okay to use boosters or food? I haven’t yet and I imagine people would say that they are banned for the challenge, but an official community ruling for me would make my decision easier to make. I’m leaning toward no though. I’m also assuming using Laurel’s to get high-end gear is in the crafting bin (that would also be a negative).

Thanks to any responders!

So far I have resorted to no crafting at all until after I hit 100% map completion.

I absolutely delete the character if I die. I give everything away first of course (including gold and anything in my bank!).

Personal story completion is a go.

No deaths…as a survivor should!

My survivalist stream (http://www.twitch.tv/wickedrhythm) has been up for a few days and I’ve had some traffic through it but nothing too noteworthy. For everyone who doesn’t know, the point of the stream is to reach 100% map completion with no deaths, no crafting, and no using the trading post.

I was hoping to get some more feedback on what potential viewers would like to see. My character is “Ixl Evey Ixl” (that’s spelled eye-ex-el) and I’m on the server Sanctum of Rall. I created a Human Thief (by viewer request) and things are going smooth so far.

Some questions I’d have for you are:

1. Should crafting be banned until 100% map completion is done or just until I hit 80? (Is no crafting to avoid the leveling benefits or to keep items out of my hands?)

2. Should completing the story line also be a part of the challenge? Jumping puzzles? Dungeons?

Anyone interested in making things difficult for me, please give me any suggestions you think are fair and challenging. Feel free to also follow the stream and check in from time to time or review my past recordings to make sure I’m not cheating.

Thanks all!

Either way the stream is now live!
