I didn't notice one during the preview weekend. Maybe it will be added when the game goes live.

Rhys · Aug 30, 2007, 08:54 AM // 08:54

Probably not, as Legendary Cartographer titles can already be obtained. Much like Legendary Skill Hunter, and the lack of elite skills in EotN that count toward any title.

Uber Mass · Aug 30, 2007, 09:36 AM // 09:36

they added a new step in KoBd title a total of 5 new titles

prolly:
Norn, Ebon Vanguard, Dwarven, Asura and Master of the North title track no other titles

bostue · Aug 30, 2007, 09:45 AM // 09:45

Was hoping for more titles myself.

If I remember correctly the Elona explorer track didn't work for the Nightfall preview event either. It only started with the real version I think. So maybe the explorer title track for GWEN will start this weekend as well?

I certainly hope so - I'd much more prefer to hug walls killing and opening chests to get another rank of KoaBD then repeat faction farm runs like for SS/LB...

tho you cant explore Tyria for more then 100% have you ever thought about that?

neooki · Aug 30, 2007, 12:53 PM // 12:53

Either they'll increase the tyrian cartographers title, or they'll add a new title for Eye Of the north. In either case there really isn't that much above ground explorable areas, and dungeons don't count for any of that. Would be a hellish fast title.

Another thought could be, instead of cartographer they use a title like mastery of the north(or a similar) title thats point based and when you complete certain areas you'll get points into that title saying that you've done it all in EotN.

R!ghteous Ind!gnation · Aug 30, 2007, 01:25 PM // 13:25

doubtful. imo

Isn't the current possible Tyrian figure greater than 100%? In any case, if you must go down that avenue, you'd have to accept that people currently calling themselves Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer, are actually liars.

Uber Mass · Aug 30, 2007, 02:31 PM // 14:31

well again i dont think they will add titles yet why? the following:

The added 1 new title to KOBD = God Amongst Mortals this means +5 titles

the probable titles:
Ebon Vanguard
Norn
Asura
Dwarf
Master of the North title track

hence these are the titles till now that is

Saraphim · Aug 30, 2007, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Well, my Far Shiverpeaks map still has fogged parts and my Tyrian cartographer / Legendary cartographers are still intact. I'd be a wee bit miffed if I lost two max titles when the game goes live.

What I'd assume would be fair is to leave current titles as they are, but anyone exploring the new parts would get an easier ride on the rest of their percentage and hit 100% with the extra land masses that've been revealed. Of course some people with 100% already may well moan about that, but eh.. personally I couldn't care less if it gets easier for other people. There's already a texmod that makes it hilariously easy to see the bits you've missed anyway.

I believe pre-EotN, You could still get around another 5% on top of teh full title. I know I missed a big chunk in Hell's Precipice around the portals, but hit 100% before I got to it.

bloodvayne · Aug 30, 2007, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Well, since most of these new areas are connected to dungeons, they should make a new title "Excavator of Tyria", even though the exploration doesn't take place in the dungeons.

This also wouldn't conflict with the cartography titles.

Oh, and we didn't get an exploration title in the Nightfall preview event because it was going to restart our progress anyways.

Sethellington · Aug 30, 2007, 05:16 PM // 17:16

Let's make it clear - No, there is no Cartography title in EotN

No Cartography
No missions
No hardmode

Saraphim · Aug 30, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I was wondering about missions earlier... I've stayed away from a lot of the news as I like surprises...

No missions, wow. That'll feel weird.

You're not making it clear... you're guessing. Linsey Murdock, ANet dev, basically said straight out that there will be a hardmode during discussion of Moa Eggs, more specifically, the rabbit 'hole' in Drakkar.

Quote: "I think a lot of people were hoping to charm the bunny. Which is exactly what I wanted. It is a trap and I've been giggling since I came up with the idea when I think about people going "omg a bunny! I wanna get a closer look!" The biggest killer in that encounter is panic. If you just stand and take all the mobs, it's really not that hard. In hardmode it'll be beastly though *giggle*"

AlienFromBeyond · Aug 30, 2007, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Of course there will be hard mode. Or did you just forget you have to beat the game before you have access to it for that area?

william1975 · Aug 30, 2007, 07:53 PM // 19:53

lol Alien you are so right

Anyway as a cartographer i would like a title but can see the difficulty in adding one in, its a small area, would be quick to complete if alone, or in the case of adding it to the tyrian cartographer would either annoy those who have it, or make it a lot easier to get if they don't make it a requirment for the exiting 100% to maintian their title

Vamis Threen · Aug 30, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

It's not a small area: so far we have probably not seen all of the Far Shiverpeaks. Additionally I seem to recall it was said that the Asura and Charr areas are above ground too.

I would guess Tyria will be split into Northern and Southern title tracks; having one title for both Proph nad GWEN would provoke howls of protest from those of us losing not one but two titles, and would put-off newcomers to the title from trying it because of the sheer vastness (Southern Tyria is already 54 areas, compared to the 30-odd of Cantha and Elona)

At least 7 new titles I reckon (four allegiance, cartography, mastery, vanquisher). I suppose mastery may replace both protector and guardian as there are repeatable quests and dungeons to replace missions and bonuses.

But unlike Sethellington, I'm prepared to admit this is a guess
