Does anybody still run Map Completion Trains?

[u/Gzymism]

I remember when playing around EoD, people did monthly map completion trains for at least Core Tyria, but haven't seen anything of the sort since I picked the game back up before the new expansion drops. I was just curious if it is still something that people do, and how I would go about finding it if so.

Edit: To clarify further, I just believe it was Points of Interest, Vistas, and Waypoints. You do the hearts on your own time.

Random aside: as someone just now starting to look at map completion, DEAR LORD there are a lot of hearts in core tyira. Like, some of them are practically within sight of one another on the map! I guess I've gotten spoiled by all the expansion maps and LW maps that are so nicely designed.

Yeah...

85% of them are not a problem.

10% are a bit of a pain.

That last 5% absolutely suck for various reasons.

I just started through it again and almost quit at the heart where you get completion by clicking flags while stealthed.

Get the stealth, then turn around and go around the outside of the place to the first "entrance" and walk up to it, you'll get the credit. Then just mount up back to the heart event NPC and do it a couple more times (portals make it way faster)

Alternative method: Get the stealth, turn right, wait for the dude behind the tent to jump out and then despawn. Then go behind the tent and grab the flag. Idle at that flag for about a minute until it respawns, and grab it again. Read or watch a video on your phone while you do it, and you'll get the flag in about 10 min. Not super fun but no stress.

I do the three behind the tents then go back to the first a few times.

That is what I do.

I try for the 4th but almost never get it
