Vabbi Map Completion Is kick in the Teeth

That's not true, my map shows them as empty and when I hover my mouse over the map legend where Hearts are listed every Heart lights up. I stumbled into some enclosed garden and found 2 more hearts so I' think this must be the last area of the map, you can't trust the built in map ui it considers all repeatable hearts as incomplete regardless of whether you ever completed them.

If you open the world map (by pressing 'm' as the default key, you may have changed it) and look in the top left corner, you'll see your world completion and specific map completion, with how many hearts you've finished in the area.

 

You can also tell which hearts you've completed by the hearts showing the infinity symbol underneath it (as multiple people in this thread have explained).

Top left corner, it tells you the total number of hearts you need for map completion in those zones, that number does not reset and it it does for you its bugged because it doesnt for me.

any heart which has a lemniscate (∞) under it is completed.

I'm not sure I remember writing that, which is unsettling since I don't even drink anymore, I'd been up barring some naps since 4PM Thursday Easter Standard for work, back was bothering me too much to sleep so I kept drinking coffee. I just woke up from my bed so I must have walked there. Yeah I don't deny I typed that because obviously I must have my cats sure has hell didn't, I'm just weirded out because I don't remember that response and I just woke up not remembering how I got to bed.

Hey Kheldorn, I don't remember typing this, the previous response was what I thought was my response since I just woke up.

There is a huge box in top left corner of your map (press M by default) telling you how many parts of map need to be completed. If you completed hearts day before, they are still completed after reset, you just need to remember which you completed, which I believe is not hard. Please, before accusing people of lying, get your facts right.

It doesn't. I disabled event/personal story on the guide. So all it shows is what's not completed... this also includes showing hearts that reset in PoF maps.

Well that answers the question i had before. Sorry, don't have any further solutions for you.

There is an achievement for each map for doing all of the hearts. Looking at the achievement will have hearts you did checked off, allowing you to see which hearts you haven't done yet. Just look in the achievements panel at PoF then the map you need the hearts for to find the achievements. All of the achievements for doing PoF hearts are called "Renowned Adventurer: (map name)".

 

And renowned hearts count permanently for map completion the first time you do them. So you only need to do the hearts you missed, not all of them before daily reset.

Solution is stop making hearts reset.

Not sure that's a solution, considering lots of people enjoy repeatable hearts, that arenanet also experimented with repeatable hearts in season 3 and found a lot of favorable feedback on it.

 

You may not enjoy it, but many do. Thus, preventing hearts from resetting is not a solution.

then make an option to allow them repeatable or not in the options. very easy to add.

Yeah, I'm kinda unsettled, because I don't remember reading this post, and I haven't been drinking either.

As a programmer, I can tell you that it being easy is a very safe assumption. Unless the developers programmed themselves into a really bad corner somehow, tying a previously automated process that runs at a certain server time to a button and limiting its usage to once per day would be extremely simple.

Fractals and Raids are the hard end game. If you're looking for map completion as true end game content uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhmm

 

I didn't even consider Orr as that, because of dungeons.

It's only really annoying when you're doing things like the Griffon Mount and need to buy things from the Hearts and you think "well I've already done this Heart?" There's no option to just say "I've already chopped up Sand Eels for people to eat, can I have goodies to buy please?". It's for some of us that space out what we do whilst playing. I get why this has been implemented but it is a tad bit annoying.

From a consumer standpoint it seems easy, but the reality of programming that can be way more difficult than we could imagine. Its an option to suggest and hopefully the devs consider something like that in the future.

Considering that the devs had an issue with staying on mounts while interacting with things breaking stuff, i wouldnt be surprised if that was the case.

This is true...

 

But, still, I can at least imagine the types of things that could go wrong with that. Tying a function to a button is something so simple that I'm not really sure you can screw up bad enough to hinder its function enough to stop you from being able to do it.

 

It's not like I have access to their source code, though, so who knows?

precisely the point I was making =p it's impossible to tell how easy or hard it is to implement a change like having hearts reset on an account by account basis since we don't work with their code.

 

I hope the option is considered by the devs and that we get a response saying whether it can be done (and if so, what timetable we'd see for that change) or if it's impossible to do.

"There are advanced settings in the options menu for more experienced players that will allow you to change the functionality of the content direction system. You can select to disable it if you like the way the game UI functions now, or you can select “world complete” mode, which will focus only on providing direction to areas for world completion."

 

Where is this "world complete" mode? My options for content guide are limited to "Off", "Disable Personal Story", "Default", and "Hide Events and Personal Story". Not seeing any "world complete" option anywhere.
