Guild Wars 2

I have the same problem, maybe you’re supposed to do something else to get Been There Done That? I have all the explorer achievements and the 100% completion but I didn’t get the title.

Hi,

while playing the game I often find myself opening the heroes tab over and over again just to check on the counter of a single or a few achievements. For example the dailies, or the kill counter in WvW I tend to check every few minutes when I’m doing them.
It would seem very convenient to me if you could just place a little counter on the screen. For example, in the top right corner under the events and renown hearts, you could place such a counter.

It’s no big deal, but as it would probably not take too much effort to implement, I’d like to see this feature.

Thanks,

The big problem I have with this si not that we (Far Shiverpeaks) always lose, but that we always stay in second position or sometimes third, so we are always red or blue. As I need one poi and one vista in the green part of Eternal Battlegrounds (which we are obviously not going to take from Vizunah as they always stomp us), I would very much appreciate it if the team colors were random rather than based on your ranking.

Hi there,

I’ve been having some trouble figuring out why there are different counters for world completion and what they all count.

My thought is that the counter on the map itself counts all poi’s, vistas, etc. from all PvE and WvW areas.
First of all I would strongly recommend you take the WvW part out of this. I’ve been playing on the Far Shiverpeaks european server and still need the Aldon poi and green lowlands vista. However, as we’re matched up against Vizunah every time since I’ve first logged into WvW and we seem to be stuck at second place, we are never green. Being stuck at 99.8% is really frustrating as there is really nothing I can do to get the last poi and vista but wait.

Back to the original question though, there is a second counter. The one in the achievement tab (which seems to correspond to the one on the character selection screen). This one is always a few percents behind the one on the map. My best guess is that this counter takes into account the discovered areas, which are counted per region in the Krytan, Ascalonian, etc. explorer achievements.
Here is my second problem. I really love the system where you can get 100% map completion. However, the explorer achievements do not seem to follow this philosophy. In each of these achievements I am missing a few unexplored regions, f.e. Krytan Explorer 175/178. The problem I have here is that I have found absolutely no way of finding out where these areas might be, as there are no blurred out places on the map. I would like to have a way of at least finding out in which map I have to go look because just searching all over Kryta for 4 unexplored regions is just impossible.

I know this is a lot of questions but I would really love to hear some official statement about how these things work and how they are intended to be (Are you meant to have to wait for 2 months to get the last poi? Are you meant to run all over the world again in hope of finding that one unexplored region?)

Off course answers from non-AN employees are a welcome input as well.

There seem to be 2 different counters here. The one you see in the top left of the screen counts all poi’s, hearts, vistas, etc. from the entire PvE map and the entire WvW map. The counter in the achievement and on the character loading screen however seems ( I do not know this for sure) to be linked to the amount of areas discovered, and thus to the ‘Krytan Explorer’, ‘Orr Explorer’, etc. achievements right above them.
If this is so, I would appreciate it if there were to be a way to find where you were still missing those undiscovered areas. Currently I am missing 4 in Kryta but I cannot find where they are as I do have 100% map completion accross PvE.
