I looked around a bit but couldnt find any suggestions for this yet, so here it goes, if there is already a topic; excuse my ignorance

The title can only be achieved if you have all 3 campaigns and you need 3 cartographer title's to get it (so 100% on Tyria, 100% on Cantha and 50% on Elona wouldn't cut it)

For example you have 3 ranks;
250% - Traveler (1)
275% - Tour Guide (2)
300% - I go places (3)

Or whatever names the ranks might have. (I obviously am not too good at original Rank Names)

The downside might be if you have 3 Grandmaster Cartographer title's, max title's, you get a max title (towards the Kind of a big deal/people know me) for free. But if you have have 3 max titles and can't decide which one looks more "leet" this would be excellent (and well deserved)

You just didn't look in the right place. Try searching for global titles. I posted in a couple of threads about how I think they will/should work.

Here is a exceprt from another thread that deals mostly with Skills title but touches on Cartography and Protector titles as well.

[qoute]
If you have maxed each chapter title then you get a Global Title.

For example I have Protector Title in all three chapters.

I'll get a global protector title UNTIL the next chapter comes out. Then I will have to get the Protector of Chapter X to regain the Global Protector Title. I'll still retain any chapter specific titles I have earned.

Grandmaster Cartographer titles should work similarly to Protector titles.

In my case I would have Grandmaster Cartographer of Tyria title for Prophecies and Grandmaster Cartographer of Cantha for Factions. I Suspect I will keep my Master Cartographer title for Elona and once I have mapped all of Elona I would advance to the Grandmaster Cartographer. Having all three titles at that point would earn a Global Cartographer Title until the next Chapter is released.

Using my Skill Hunter Title as an example:

I have 255 skills capped: Skill Hunter (4)

Max Skill Hunter is currently 290 skills: Skill Hunter (5)

Since I only have the Skill Hunter (4) title now. Under the new system I should see this split out into specific chapters. I have all the Prophecies Elites and all the Factions Elites, therefore, I should gain two new titles... one for each of those campaigns. I would lose my Skill Hunter (4) title.

If I gain the other 35 Elites in NF I would gain Skill Hunter title for Nightfall and a Global Skill Hunter Title for having capped all currently available Elites in the game.

Core Skills would count towards any chapter specific title and thus toward the Global Title. They could be capped in any chapter you own and would not have to be capped separately in other chapters. (They don't have to be capped separately now. Why would that change?)

***************************************

There is a another alternative to taking away a Global title upon new chapter release. Global Titles could be tiered. If you have a max title for one chapter you gain the global title and it is advanced a rank for each max title you get in subsequent (or previos) chapters. This is probably the better method but, for some reason, I think the first method described is how it will be implemented.

ANET is trying to boost sales. Implementing a Global Title is a good business move. Titles are a big incentive for some folks that like closure. In the end, how much is that title worth to you if you have 2 of 3 chapters and were waivering on the decision to get the other chapter? This type of title system may be just the nudge you need to fork out another $50.

Gaile Gray already said they might do it when she was doing the seperate skill hunter titles poll. She mentioned making 3 seperate skill hunter ttiles, an international one, and possibly an international protector/cartographer.

It is in development and is expected to come out any time within the next year (Good nuff time frame). Gaile said ANET will implement global titles like the global carthographer, etc.
