Add %'s for individual areas

I feel that when you enter an area, under where it says for example 'Explorable Area' it should say something along the lines of '92.6% Explored'
Would help greatly for those aiming for exploration titles and I know it'll also prevent some people from commiting suicide.

Now that would be a big help. I like it!

This is a great idea, I would put it next to the zone name on the map.

Hmm. I think it'll make it far too easy to get the Explorer titles. They're meant to be an example of devotion and hard work, not just hopping from area to area to quickly get a new title.

It makes it easier for those who've completed the game so they don't have to backtrack to every single area just to see if they maybe missed .1% there. And it also requires players to still explore the entire area, meaning it still requires alot of time and work. Imagine having .3% missing from an area like snake dance, that's alot of work still, it just lets players know when they've fully explored an area(meaning if they have all of snake dance explored, they don't have to waste 4 hours with henchies).

i also agree... i like the fact that its hard.

if they implimented this, then in no time everybody would be running around with this title.

wheres the fun in that?

well pressing "m" and searching for that 5% u are missing isnt fun, also i find this helping, dont really see a downside to it

The idea is not to have titles handed to you but rather to work for them and earn them. It's supposed to be hard to get the higher lvl titles like Master Cartographer or Grandmaster Cartographer. Allowing people to see how much of a certain area that they've explored will make it far too easy for people to get these titles.

Sounds like they've got bigger problems than obtaining an explorer title...

LOL yes... it does seem like that doesnt it

The subtitle for an area is tagged as a part of the level. It can't change based on character variables.

I saw this idea on another forum and thought it was just fabulous.

Some people want to get the Grandmaster Cartographer title but just don't really know where to start. Anet could consider adding something to that update that put the area names on our maps. When an area is complete, have the lettering be gold. If you have more than 75%(or something like that) of it explored, have the percentage show under the area name. Kind of like the map update that allows the area name to be green if your active quest directs you there. Except that it would permanently become gold or some other color to show your exploration is complete in that area.

I am not sure if I should have posted this in the explorers forum or not.

This has come up before, where someone suggested that they should put a % of that area discovered. And while it might seem like a good idea, all this will really do will spoon feed the title to people. Sure it would've been helpful to have %'s on my map show up when I had 99.8% complete. But if I could simply look at which area I didn't have 100% on it would've defeated the purpose of getting the title.

It's supposed to be a challenge to get the title, or most titles for that matter. It wouldn't mean much if everyone could get the highest level title so easily.

well no disrespect but if this is the highest of all titles i guess it really is not worth doing anything else then huh. a title were you explore and go through the game i do not beleive would be the highest title of them all.

You aren't required to explore 100% of the map to beat the game, you get around 50-60% of the map uncovered from normal playing, the quests and missions.

Hugging the walls of every zone to get every last bit of the fog isn't really 'exploring' either

But, of the PvE titles, Master Cartographer is one of the highest titles, if you disregard the farm/grind titles of opening thousands of chests/identifying thousands of golds etc.

Sorry but you don't really seem to speak with respect.

Did I say that this one title was the 'highest of all titles' as in every single title out there? No, it was highest lvl of title as in Grandmaster as opposed to Master. Just like Master Treasure Hunter is the highest lvl of the Treasure hunter titles or Legendary Survivor is the highest lvl of the Survivor titles.
