100% world completion bug?

Hello, I have gotten 100% world completion (all vistas, skill challenges, etc) however when I got the last point of interest to complete the current zone, and thus completing the world, I only received a reward chest popup from the zone, and not the world. I still have yet to receive the world completion reward popup.

Hi all!

I just wanted to assure you that we are still tracking and investigating this issue. Thank you for your continued patience as we work on this. Also, I spoke with one of the level designers about this and wanted to clear up some potential confusion over the World Completion achievement track:

The World Complete achievement track includes all of the Explorable Maps, the 6 cities in Tyria, the Chantry of Secrets, and the 4 WvW maps. It does not include any dungeons, story or PVP maps.

I hope this helps, and thanks again!

Hey, everyone: we’re aware of the bug where people are not getting 100% completion even though they have 100% in every map. The team is looking into it. Thank you for all the reports.

Just got a suggestion on this: Have you gone to the Chantry of Secrets since you achieved 100%? I’m told by the team that this can make things “click over” and give the 100% completion recognitions.

Could you try that and post if it works?

Thanks.

Yes i went into the chantry i had a box appear in the corner of my screen and when i clicked on it nothing happend, in the past hour i have been traveling around the zones again making sure this isnt a game problem. Hopefully you can get back to me after the support team figure out whats wrong.

Thanks for testing that for me. I’m darned sorry that didn’t magically make it better. I will inquire of the team (again) if there is another option, and I really appreciate your patience and the fact that you’re working with me on this, because what helps you could help others! We haven’t seen this issue beyond the Chantry suggestion, so this is new and I’ll flag it now.

Thanks again.

There are more than 175 areas in Ascalon, that could be a problem.

I wanted to comment on this, because you’re right. There are a TON of areas, and what we’ve found in many cases is that with the “round up” feature of the title, it can appear that a player has completely cleared all maps, but really is a bit under full completion.

Let me explain: Maybe a certain map comprises an actual .08931% of the title. The system rounds that up to .09& (or perhaps even to a full .1%). Over time, those rounded numbers can add up to 100%, and the account details may show 100%, but in fact you’re at, say, 98.1%.

In Guild Wars (the original game) we have people ask us “Why does it say I have 103.2% for the title?” That, too, is the “round-up factor.”

So when someone says “I have 100%” that isn’t necessarily the case, and that’s why the first suggestion is the check each and every map. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for fairness), we don’t have the ability to peek at the account and hint “Go to [map name] to finish the title.”

Just as an FYI — the dev team has noticed your concerns about this and they have come up with a way to make world completion clearer for players. They’re planning a modest change to the map that will make it easier for you to see what you’ve done via the World Map. This change will roll out in a build in the near future.
