FREE .4% MAP EXPLORATION [req: "recall" or "return" + town Eredon Terrace]
DynaBlue
I guess I'm not getting it..the henchies don't seem to run far enough past the portal and I always end up zoning in once I cancel Recall. Is this still working today or am I just having bad luck with it?
DynaBlue
Is this still working as of today? I have tried it numerous times (15+) and apparently the henchies aren't running far enough past the portal on the other side. I always end up zoning when I cancel Recall.

I also always zone with St. Anjeka's. Eredon worked fine, got my .6% XD

I'm having a very tough time with my Tyrian warrior and this method. It worked at eredon after about the 3rd time with my Canthan mesmer but so far, no luck at all with the Tyrian.
EDIT- Okay, it finally worked. Seemed to work more reliably if I stuffed the hench into the town (past portal) waited a few seconds, cast recall then cancelled it. Who knows, might just have been voodoo luck with that system but it DID work.

I can't make this work...Does anyone know if it helps to stand at a certain part of the portal (left, middle, right)?

I guess I found this thread too late. Try as I might I just can't get it to work. I'm guessing the bug was fixed?

Considering the flags system isn't currently in play I don't think you just tried it correctly.

Nivryx
i feel terribly stupid waiting 2 hours camping out the members only entrance at eroden's terrace before a member of the controlling alliance walked up so i could ask to join for 5 minutes, explore the area and donate 10k faction while i was at it...

I then inched towards the right side of the portal, and as soon as I was as close as I could get, I canceled Recall, and it brought me into the zone. I've gotten it to work without zoning me about 40% of the time!
Thank you. Tried about 15 times with no luck. Came back and read this method and it worked first try. Title now complete.

Congrats! Glad to hear I could help!

I expect ArenaNet will make it in the Nightfall patch so that when a Henchman enters a portal, you zone in as well.
elliot

I've recorded a little demonstration movie for people having trouble using this pretty easy once you know where to place the henchies.

I'm sorry if these suggestiongs have been said by someone before, but imo one solution for ANet could be just simply to increase the effect area of portals (the area where you get travelled to town), so that when a player shadowsteps to a town, he just cannot teleport past the portal.
Another possible way to prevent this exploit could be making shadow stepping kinda "instant run from place to another" (which I tought it were, before this exploit).
The latter of course could be better if the former would take more filespace as it should be added to most of current portals
.
Nice notice anyway Juicey...

We don't want it fixed.

The other thing is, once Heroes become available, Return or whichever skill you use that you cancel to teleport can get you pretty much anywhere within the minimap. The only fix for that is to forbid henchmen from passing the borders.
elliot
why fix it it does no harm.
just like using consume corps or necro travel does no harm on some maps they just gife you that small bit of extra exploration

Nice notice anyway Juicey... If it became an instant run, then it could be body blocked by mobs, and that would suck.
As to the other guys saying that there is no reason to fix it. I say there is, as I worked damn hard to get my GM cartography title, and this exploit makes it a joke.

<_< you could also spent two weeks trying to get in the guild (that owns the place) for 5 min same effect this just saves you that time with this ''exploit''

Actually that's not true. The area that the guild can access gives at most .2% though I imagine it to be somewhere around 1.3%. Using this exploit allows you to go through a barrier you normally can't get past even if you are in that guild, which leads you to the actual edge of the map. Meaning that you can see nothing but blue space and can look at the 3 dimensional corner of the land as well as under it. Similar to what it looks like in some games where you glitch through walls.
I managed to run a character through it and get around .6%, which is a huge amount of area cleared, roughly equal to 18 different spots that you would normally have to search for to get.
So yes it is an exploit and a major one concerning the title.

Here's my take on it....0.6% is roughly what one would expect to get from Jade Quarry, and that's a fairly simple area to map IF you can get into it. Livingston's put some effort toward helping people in that regard, but I checked out the exploit when it was first discovered and, through gaining that 0.6%, stopped having to worry about mapping the quarry
So basically, I don't really mind it being there...I just think of it as a Jade Quarry that you can get into whenever you want

On the European servers though, of course I can rarely get in just by showing up. So it would be good for that. However, those in large guilds would have a distinct advantage in that they can easily organize to get into the Quarry.
Though I suppose when Nightfall comes out it will be near impossible to get into it period. So it may be a good thing after all, as I don't think people will be able to get into Aspenwood either, which then would create a need for the Necro travel exploit as well.

nope.
you can explore all the same area if you can get into the exclusive area by being in the alliance controlling the town. I did it months ago, when DF was holding the town.

So you could hit all these spots?
If so, that's just all kinds of wrong...

^ I found a spot like that in Tyria. I think it was in the Wall Mission. I ran past all the char and ended up in 'edge of the map limbo'.

I just discovered this thread yesterday and tried the method. It worked for me in Eredon Terrace and Breaker Hollow. So it is still valid. However I couldn't make it work elsewhere but I didn't try real hard.
kyrasantae
I got 0.5% from Eredon using this; I tried to get into St. Anjekas and couldn't do it after 7 tries and I should be studying for an exam right now, so I'll try the other places later.
Thanks for the tip!

I have tried both return and recall, as described, and I get no success any where. Do you need the henchie control feature that was available in the preview?
Tried again, used recall to push the henchie in, then recall again, and did get in
