Hey everyone,
I've been working on a project of mine for a while now and I think it is ready to go into open beta.
Basicly it's a huge interactive map from guild wars 2 with all vista's located on it (I am currently adding more and more vista's). The concept is easy; You locate a vista on the map, Click on the vista icon and watch the youtube video that pops up on top of the map.
link : www.gw2vistas.com
You can leave suggestions here or contact me at contact@gw2vistas.com
A suggestion for adding jumping puzzles has already been given, and WILL be implemented after all the vista's are done!
For bug reports ALWAYS use contact@gw2vistas.com
Incluce :
- Date and Time of the bug
- Describe the bug (with screenshot if possible)
- Can you reproduce the bug? If so, how?
- Browser you were using (version aswell if possible)
- Operating system you were using
Also!
My IGN : Dalosaurus
Server : Gunnar's Hold [EU]
I wouldn't mind people help me out completing zones so I can record them faster. Currently completing each zone is what takes me so long to release more vista's, so any help would be appreciated.
Small in-game donnations are also welcome, since I travel A LOT to record all the vista's I'm actually starting to run out of money(I travel around 3-4 times per vista, to get the video spot on, so do the math
)
Thanks upfront!

This is awesome, thanks a lot for the work you put there! It would be nice if you include Jumping puzzles too after you complete with the Vistas
The trick of selling a FFA-PvP MMO is creating the illusion among gankers that they are respectable fighters while protecting them from respectable fights, as their less skilled half would be massacred and quit instead of “HTFU” as they claim.

2012-09-18, 12:26 PM #3DeletedThat's actually a great suggestion! And thanks for the good feedback. Recording all the vista's takes it's time, but I expect to be finished in around 5-10 days, depending on how busy my days are

As Papajohn mentioned, ALL jumping puzzles would be fantastic, but ofcourse we appreciate that would take you a while to do :P

I guess it’s helpful, but I want to experience it on my own
So sadly I cannot help you.

2012-09-18, 12:37 PM #8DeletedI completely understand you, it's the same for myself, the first time I love to figure it all out by myself, but a second or third time I guess I would just want to get it over with asap. Also there are vista's people actually don't manage to find and asking help in chat is usually confusing since 10 people tell you 10 different things, Hence this website. Originally Posted by Eorayn

Everyone plays in it's own way of course

finally - exactly what was missing - usually i use gw2cartographer to find the last POI, but there have been some vistas i couldnt find the way to and there was no way of finding a video on that website...i had to go directly to google and hope to find the vista as a video with the name of the closest POI, which could take a few minutes...wasted time D:

Not to ruin your day or anything, but there is already an interactive map at http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/interactive-maps/

2012-09-18, 01:18 PM #12DeletedIt's not quite the same though Originally Posted by Ninaran

this is pretty cool, will check it out properly later on

2012-09-18, 01:36 PM #14DeletedEh? How's that? It takes me one click to click on the area I need and another click on either the PoI, Heart or Vista I'm missing and I'm good. Originally Posted by Dalosaurus

But anyways, it's always good to have competition.. I guess.

Not to ruin your day or anything, but there are no unique concepts at all anywhere, so why even point out that someone did something like it? MMO-champion is not unique, amazon.com is not unique.. Originally Posted by Ninaran

2012-09-18, 02:26 PM #16DeletedBut why would I want to use an interactive map with just Vistas if I can use an interactive map that has Skill Challenges, Points of Interest, Jumping Puzzles and Vistas? Originally Posted by lanerios

Let's please not go into a discussion about this please because it is pointless. It's still up to the people to decide which service they use.

Thanks everyone for the impressive feedback. You might have noticed I didn't add any vista's yet today, that is in fact correct! I've been working to make the map and vista's load smoother (mostly for non broadband connections) since I got some mails of people who seemed to have issues loading the map correctly.
I will probably still add at least 1 zone of vista's today though.
Any suggestions which zone I should do next?
All zones from lvl 1 up to level 70 would be possible (I'm still not lvl 80, don't hate ! )
