Vanquished should means that the area/map will be rid of monsters (red dots) when you enter them after one has achieved the Legendary Vanquisher title.

AN OPTION to enter map without monsters please.

thank you.

Killling stuff is easy.

I like it. I could see how people would abuse it to get cartographer, although it'd probably be easier to get the two at the same time.

In answer to the possible question framed in the title of this post:

Legendary Vanquisher means you've killed all the bad guys.

Killing stuff is very easy, it's just tedious as heck.

Sometimes it's fun to just put on your hiking boots and go exploring. While I've never been one for vanquishing, this would definitely be a nice reward for doing so, like that one zone on Shing Jea (I can't remember which). There's so much of the GW world that nice to simply go and see, it would be really nice to have the opportunity to see it without having to stop every 20 feet and fight a new mob for a minute or two at a time.

Thats what the areas are there for, you to kill things. An area with no monsters seems a bit pointless.

Is this so that you can do chest runs without mobs over and over again?

Even if you took those out, there's no point in an explorable area without monsters, like Saph said.

This and easier Cartography are the reasons why this will never happen.

I agree it would be nice, though.

This has got to be one of the worse ideas I have ever heard.

Not needed, and too many exploits for having it.

Jeez, just take the chests out then? For people who are going, "this is pointless," maybe for you, but clearly there are some people who would like to just wander around and look at the beautiful scenery without needing to kill stuff for a change.

That's what TexMod is for!

Well, some of us are just screenshot junkies. We love us our sight-seeings. But I can see your point.

Isn't that what RL is for? (Italy is great!) I kid, don't be upset.

I do agree though; there are some great-looking zones that high quality screenshots would be great of; NPC bodies just ruin it.

As for implementing an option to be able to explore a said zone, I want to think they won't do that; their resources are pooled to Guild Wars 2 for the most part. (And, hate me if you must for bringing this up, but Shadow Form nerfnerfnerflol, where was that a year ago?)

Hi Pumpkin, just wondering if you could give some reasons why you think this would be a good idea, what uses it could possibly serve and such...

If it's for cartography purposes, I don't see the point. Map while you vanquish, or go back in Normal mode with H&H, in normal mode no mob presents any threat to a group of well equipped heroes, you can just stroll around scraping map edges and your heroes will slaughter anything that gets too close... and you have the option of looting after wards if anything nice drops.

Chest running? that would be silly and exploitative to have chest spawns on a monster free map I'd think.

Some other purpose? I have no idea, but the word 'roleplayers' comes to mind...

Eragon Zarroc · Jan 21, 2010, 03:01 PM // 15:01

lol, would be cool. but conflicts with cartography and could also possibly effect the ease of many quests. also would make chesting way to easy.

pumpkin pie · Jan 21, 2010, 03:21 PM // 15:21

you guys have no idea what this is, do you?

YOU ONLY GET THIS OPTION IF YOU ARE LEGENDARY VANQUISHERS. = you already killed all stuffs, god...., and if you want to kill all stuffs again, disable the option when you go out.

you will still have your map filled with monsters. grrr.

meaning its just an empty map, no monsters, no chests. nothing. an empty map

Shadowhaze · Jan 21, 2010, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Hehe, it is a nice idea. And I, like others, go a bit insane with screenshots at times.

They'd just have to figure out how to maybe take out the chests and somehow not let people get carto with the clear area enabled or something. I donno.
(And yes, it is way easier to do vq and carto at the same time. I found that out one continent too late. XD)

Hells Fury · Jan 21, 2010, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Hell yeah...
Also with max wisdom i can get everlasting ident kit , with max treasure hunter everlasting unbreakable lockpick , with gwamm i get freaking immortality and so on...

Don't see the point of this. Only for screenshots?
