| 100% Tyria Exploration - Impossible? |
|
|
|
Hey everyone. Ever since I first saw someone with the "Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer" title, I knew it was something special. I knew that it was a title I wanted to earn.
However, I have recently been viewing Wiki pages and I'm really upset to find that for me, that title may be impossible to reach. This is because % was given for each of the PvP arenas, and I did not start playing GW until after the introduction of the Battle Isles. Therefore I am unable to receive that exploration.
So is it impossible for anyone to gain the title AFTER the release of the Battle Isles? A really great morale boost here would be a reply from someone who has recieved the title, without the exploration for the individual arenas, (after the release of the Battle Isles).

Their is more then 100% to explore, so everybody gets a fair chance of getting the Master Cartographer title

Let's say the old PvP arenas count for 4%. Since the update that brought about the Battle Isles, that 4% has been removed and no longer exists. So, in other words, if the Battle Isles weren't created, you'd have to explore all explorable areas in Tyria plus the PvP arenas (100%). Since the Battle Isles were instated, Tyrian Explorable area was made 100%, not 96% and the 4% of the PvP Arenas became "extra" or the 4% over 100%, making it 104%. Make sense?

More than 100%.... basically:
If you say Tyria is 1000 square miles total explorable area... then say 50 square miles is Old Arenas... well you only need to get around 950 square miles to achieve the 100% title.
I have 100% explored, but I know I still have areas that can be uncovered, as I have uncovered them on another character. ANet made it like this, for the very same fear the poster has... not playing PvP would have prevented PvErs from gaining a PvE title... which wouldn't really make sense. :/

It means that each area of the map is a certain percentage of the full map area. Let's say that each .1% of the map you explored corresponds to a square mile. So, if you explore 10000 square miles, you've explored 100% of the map. But there's actually 11000 square miles of land in Tyria, so even if you miss 1000 square miles, you can still get 100%.
That's just an example, but that's how it works. The amount you need to explore for 100% isn't quite as big as the map itself is. Missing the arenas still allows you to get 100% explored, though getting the arenas makes it easier.

You can't have all the map explored, because their are extra "bugs" A-net added

So there will be extra things to explore, simple

1 point i didn't see mentioned here is that while they took away the the arenas they added grenth's footprint.and that prolly more then makes up for the lost map area of the old arena's
