Finally got World Completion on my Norn Ranger.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve taken a break from GW2 since my last post on the subject a few weeks ago. Sit out the Living Story ratrace and wait for the Orr temple event scaling to get fixed. The only motivation left was map completion, but my server hadn\u2019t been green in WvW for months. Those green strongholds were the only places left to explore. Then word reached me that my server was now in the green.<\/p>\n
So, I hauled my Norn Ranger over to WvW, cursed at the invisible barriers that are halfway onto a series of beams in a jumping puzzle to a vista, and ran with a zerg until we could push to the last point I needed. Yay! WvW maps complete! But what\u2019s this? No Gifts of Exploration? Why is that?<\/p>\n
I found a couple Guild Puzzle waypoints that were added after I completed their respective maps, but still no avail. So, I go to the all-knowing wiki. Go to the Chantry of Secrets? Okay. It\u2019s about time my Ranger checked in with her Order, anyways. Apparently, the Tyrian Explorer\u2019s Society mail pigeons didn\u2019t know where to find her and forwarded the Gifts of Exploration to the Order of Whispers base. I imagine that some poor Initiate on mailroom duty stealthed up to the wandering Lightbringer and dumped a couple of scrolls into her hands.<\/p>\n
So, now that achievement is complete, I\u2019ll let my Norn Ranger kick back in the Chantry of Secrets for a while and enjoy tormenting Initiates with her Jaguar. \u201cYou call that stealth? Sic \u2018em!\u201d My break from GW2 continues, mostly because my guild has entirely left the game and I don\u2019t find the Living Story disappearing carrot that compelling. Like I\u2019ve said before, I prefer layers upon layers of stories, so that it\u2019s possible for each character I have to not overlap in their story. That\u2019s the sort of thing that takes time to build and it\u2019s hard to do when the slate keeps getting wiped.<\/p>\n
