its really not all that small if they include dungeons...

There's only like 16 new explorable areas- that's like a third of what factions had. Talk about a cheap title if they do do it.

I asked about how exploring EotN was going to affect the existing cartography titles and if it was going to have a track of its own during the Q&A portion of the "Inside ArenaNet" panel at PAX. The answer was that it will have no affect on the existing cartography titles, there will be no EotN cartography track, and that it will be incorporated somehow (they didn't elaborate) in the Master of the North title track.

That would not work either since there will be a few EotN areas that exist in the souther portions of Tyria as well (Tarnished Coast for example)

1) it's unlikely they'll include dungeons, they've never include areas that don't show up on the map before.

2) Factions had 33 explorable areas. The names of explorable areas no longer show on my GWEN map but it looks like I visited 6 above-ground areas, and I suspect there were a couple more I didn't go to or that weren't available. Assuming the Asura and Charr regions are the same size, that would equate to 18-24 explorable areas. Which is considerably more than a third. Also remember Factions areas were relatively small. So no, were GWEN explorer to exist, it wouldn't be a cheap title.

3) If your information is correct DarrylA, that's bad news.

True but they could call it something else.

I found A LOT of 100% Tyrian carthographers in Spanish outpsots.

I bet the newy areas count as leeway for the Tyrian carthographer.

Actually far north shiver peaks is the largest area really if you look at the leaked map. There is really only 2-3 areas with Char, 3-4 with Asura, and another 2-3 areas that you couldn't get too *that one exit west of Olafstead that was blocked off for instance*

If they're going to add a new title, I hope they don't half-ass it and just do it like they should. EotN cartographer, and add one more req to the Grandmaster title. If it was maxed before, oh well? Not only would it be an easy title, but it's logical and there's no trying to dance around people's precious feelings. It wouldn't make any sense not being linked, since then you could get Grandmaster Cartographer without exploring an entire expansion.

Adding it to Tyrian without bumping up the requirement for Tyrian is dumb too. That's probably +15-20% on there. There's a small leeway for missed corners here and there, not for entire areas you don't feel like exploring.

just my opinion but I think there are no new elites so as to not mess with legendary skill hunter so there will be no cartography for the same reason.

Convulsing Crunchy · Aug 31, 2007, 05:00 AM // 05:00

I hope they just leave it without exploration. I have Legendary Grandmaster Cartographer and I want it to stay that way. I don't want to map ever again.
