Aodlop.1907 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 In your journey to full map exploration, which objectives were the most irritating? I haven't achieved map completion myself, but I remember giving up on the Deputy Crackshot hero challenge in Bloodtide cost, where you need to hit some targets with cannons. It just seemed to never hit anything. 2 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much this one. Usually the very last heart quest I do, and I despise it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico.9361 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I love map comp. It's such a chill thing if you're not trying to rush all maps in quick succession. Edited May 28, 2022 by NotTooFoolish.7412 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hirathi Hinterlands can be surprisingly annoying. I’ve been through there for map completion and if the centaur camps are held by humans some of the hearts can be very tedious to do. Also, centaurs attack events will happen just outside of where the game gives credit for heart progress. Kill a centaur on one spot, get credit, move over a couple feet, no credit. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costepj.5120 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 My first few map completions were prolonged by waiting for certain colour borderlands to be home for my server (I didn't used to WvW much and was wary of venturing into the enemy server HBL. Also I was rubbish at jumping back then, so remember having issues with a couple of vistas - one in Caledon and one in Orr. These days it's all a breeze - no WvW required and skyscale to cheese the vistas (plus my jumping skill has improved somewhat!) Ash Legion training is only a minor annoyance - I can do three of the flags with ease, so I just repeat that sequence a couple of times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerryTT.4792 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Although I do despise Tawny Ridge, that is not the major issue I have with Map Completions. I think I have completed twice, but have 9 other characters who have completed everything but... the cities. When I am doing normal map completions, I will gladly go on tangents to get involved in events or maybe try to swing through lesser traveled areas just to see what is there. And I harvest everything that I can. And in some zones I get to pet puppies and kitties to complete hearts. Cities, on the other hand, are just bloody boring to complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugrakarma.9416 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) hearts in general, not by task itself, but when the delimitation area inst clear, then u waste time wandering looking where are the things to do.

Ashantara.8731 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Most annoying? New Kaineng City by far. Tangled Depths were at least fun, and once you knew your way around, it wasn't that bad. But Kaineng? Up, down, up, down, up, down, "Kitten, where is the next zip line?!?" And don't get me started on the few waypoints that are contested a lot of the time. Oof.

Fueki.4753 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Not getting the needed Borderland in WvW for the last few Points of Interest was the worst for me. The Hero Challenge patrolled by that Champion Risen Knight in Malchior's Leap is annoying without stealth, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find overlays super helpful for this. Tekkit’s TacO markers list all the activities that progress the heart and what percentage they move the bar. BlishHUD reportedly tells you which activity is the most optimal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I found helpful with this hp when I started is that most people leave the cannons facing the barrel they hit successfully, so the best thing to do is try multiple cannons and only adjust the time you hold fire, don't move them left or right unless you are sure they are not aimed at anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seemed to never hit anything. I took me a while to figure out how to use the cannons. You need to hold down the skill in order to build up power and then let go to fire. Once you see where it landed, adjust how long you let the power bar fill up next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny.7236 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Used to be a commune hero point in orr where you keep getting interrupted by environmental effects. Maybe Anet has fixed it Some of the hearts in Harathi are really pita to complete even with Tekkit Taco. I have completed core map completion on 7 toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you stealth, go around the other way. Make sure to stay close to the wall and keep quickness up. You can make it to the end. Takes about three times of this to complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 That Ash Legion heart keeps coming up as a hated thing. Mike two posts above posted the solution. No quickness needed though except to relieve the feeling of wading through tar. Here's my post from the previous thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesione.9412 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 These two hero points in Karst Plains: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/King's_Altar and https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Statue_of_Dwayna_(Karst_Plains) due to the champion NPCs that can spawn or have already spawned.

MrGarlic.1834 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Some of the hero points in Orr are a pain, especially the one patrolled by a champion. The stealthy charr heart is not too hard. There are 2 flags behind the tents and if you sneak passed one guard when he disappears, you can alternate between the 2 flags without risk. But you will need to wait for them to respawn, which thankfully isn't too bad. But it is the easiest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
