Ok, i know as much as other people that gaining that grandmaster cartographer titles can be VERY ANNOYING, because although it may seem like u have all the world uncovered, there is still that 1 or 2% of the map left

So, the idea i have is that under the name of the explorable areas on the world map, there could be a percentage, saying that "so and so is --% explored" This way, it would be easy for people to know where they need to go exploring.

What do you think, is this a good idea?

Cool Jimmy

I will edit this everyday to show how many people are for and against this.

even something as simple as changing the text color of the area name to show the area has been completely uncovered would suffice

Thx for ur support guys, and highlighting the text to show its complete would be great as well if anet didn't want to do the percentages.

Some people have to re-explore the entire world when they are missing a few percentage, this would make them waste a lot less time.

I also expect a lot of people to bash this topic because they have the patience to get a title within one-run.

This feature would allow us to actually enjoy more the area instead of just hugging the walls to make sure you won't have to re-explore the world later on. This is what happened to me in Nightfall campaign, I've been hugging the walls all chapter long to get the max title as I've played through the Campaign. The problem is that by the time I got to the Realm of Torment I was paranoid already and hugging walls there, even knowing I already had 100% and that Realm of Torment does not count towards cartographer title.

Yes, i am expecting some people to bash this topic. However, just think about it , this game is not meant to be a grinding experience. Although hugging the walls every time you enter a new explorable area is not necessarily grinding, it is just as time wasteful. With this, you will not have to feel like you must spend pointless hours hugging the walls because you think you might have to go over the whole map again.

I'm not particularly interested in this title, but very useful idea for those who are.
