Hello GW2 forums!
On Saturday, September 11 at 9:00 AM PDT (UTC-7), I will be leading a map completion train through all of Heart of Thorns on the NA megaserver. No waypoints, mounts, or masteries are needed aside from the ones listed below. We will be covering the entirety of base Heart of Thorns, including hero points, mastery points, strongboxes, waypoints, points of interest, vistas, jumping puzzles, and hidden achievements. Yes, you read that right. EVERYTHING >:D
For the train, please make sure you have:
• Shipwreck Peak Waypoint, [&BN4HAAA=]
• Basic gliding (will get you 95% of map completion)
• The ability to read
• A pleasant attitude!

This will be a full day event, so you are welcome to hop in and out. I will be trying to keep the map as full as possible with overflow squads, but I can’t guarantee you a spot if everything fills. This event will also be live-streamed on my twitch channel. Swing by, say hi even if you’re not on the train! I’ll be answering most questions there; plus, it might be helpful to have it on in the background since I tend to give warnings/information during the train itself.
I will be playing on my Chrono 'Emi Nyaa'. Squad will be up at 9 PDT exact. The first 10 minutes will be reserved for whisper invites only. Once it hits XX:10, the squad will be up in LFG → Heart of Thorns → Verdant Brink. Everything is on a first-come-first-serve basis, so please don’t spam my chat if the squads are full!
Feel free to add me on Emikadon.8542 in game or Emi#6622 on Discord. If you have any questions, you’re welcome to whisper, mail, or private message me at any time, and I'll do my best to respond. Keep in mind that once the train starts, it’ll be hard to respond to individual people, so please be understanding if I don’t reply.

Small screenshot collection from many previous trains.
Been meaning to test this for a while and finally got around to it, heh. Easiest way to do this is to have the three people with the green stack on each other. They'll still take the green but damage seems to be significantly lower and the people not in a green seem to take no damage at all. It's possible that the CM mechanic for the strike mission will be to avoid stacking the three greens and spreading out with three people in each, though that will require quite a bit of fast movement and organization. Will see, I guess! https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/16ou6h1/found_out_how_to_handle_the_green_circle_mechanic/
