So apparently a guy in my guild has some crappy videocard that doesn't handle GW very well, and then he opens global map, he doesn't get the "fog of war" thing, it's all open for him. So he took this screen cap.

Your friend is joshing you, that picture has already been debunked as not existing in game. Aside fro mthe fact that the picture you posted has the fog of war at the entrance of the river to the lake, just west of the words Halls of Chokin

A. Agreed. That looks too fake....

You sir are either a bad liar or your friend is one and you fell for his lie.



p.s that doesn't look like a bad graphic card-at least the map view

It's one of the Arenas in RA/TA that was meant to be in the game, but they removed it. But on some computers you can see where it is, as they just covered it up.

It was going to be a vabbi arena, but they took it out of the game, as far as I understand.

not shopped I have screens
this was an arena map only time I know it was ever shown in live was during a "Random Arenas Test" in which my team from TA was redirected to this, as I said labelled "Random Arenas Test" it was for about an hour only.. I posted a topic in the TA forum back when it happened but some dumb mod deleted it due to level 99 idiocy



it says on the minimap Almtur Arena but it didn't say that on the loading screen for me or my team.

so I guess that's just Almtur Arena's location within elona.

funny how ahmtur's arena is in Mehtu's estate....

Would be nice if it was opened as a new area.

It is shown on the map you get with the CE of NF. That could be a pick of it but it does look photoshopped.

Ok, I'm the guy with the crappy videocard or rather Intel graphics chipset (at least it's not anymore) and the one who took the screencap. This was taken awhile back when I had to use a program called 3dAnalyze to run GW, otherwise it would crash due to low memory. Using the program caused some graphical issues. One of them caused my World Map to randomly glitch, causing the blur to become totally transparent (but it doesn't count anything for cartographer). I happened to stumbled upon this during a blur glitch, so I took a pic.

So it was a closed arena huh...interesting. Would've been nice to explore...

It's not photo shopped, I've seen it before too on my crappier computer. I spent a while trying to figure out how to get up there when I was going for Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer.
