Tell us if we full explored an area
Lawliet Kira
I think it would be helpful if the game would tell us if we have fully explored an area for our cartographer, it can be just like when it tells us when we fully vq'd an area, but it says you fully mapped an area.
The Scorpion Knight
That would be a pretty good feature, I doubt were going to get anything like that though. Although the the texmod does that exact job if you are willing to use it.
Marty Silverblade
I agree, it would be nice to have an ingame notification, but I don't think (or want) Anet to spend time doing it when TexMod provides a solution.

TexMod hasn't made cartographer easy enough for you yet?

That said, /signed. If it wouldn't be too hard to implement, that is, since if they're doing something major this wouldn't be my first choice. It'd be a nice alternative to reliance on texmod.

Should have been done when they added vanquishing.

I also used to do a service for guildies where I would finish up their carto titles for them over a weekend for a few k depending on how much they had left to do, how much they had (I'm not gonna charge someone with 100k 75k for a few % but for someone with a few hundred k I might), and whether or not I liked them xD. And truthfully...I used texmod...if he's gonna pay someone to do it...they probably will too making it unnecessary for that...so please...come up with a reasonable argument against it.

so /signed.
Personally I don't think that it will be implemented - would a nice feature for GW2 though.

As ailina said, i dont like using 3rd party programs in order to get a title. i don't think its right to have to use a texmod to get cartographer

Or were you all RL friends or something?
Just curious.

And I guess they figured that out since they'd see me like 30 hours a week xD
that and I think after I did it for the guy with the storage char for ectos...without any going missing they figured I was safe..

@ End. Account sharing is highly against the EULA and is actually a very serious offense. My fiancé got a 2 week suspension (her first suspension ever) and a perma-ban threat from Support because she and I used to log onto eachother's accounts (not knowing it was in fact a violation).
I have not logged into her account since then, however. There's just too much to risk (a permaban on her account would devistate her) for such an easily avoidable offense.

Neither I nor anyone that I have worked for has received a ban...soo.....
However, This matters very little to the discussion at hand.

/signed it would make it easier for users that dont(or are afraid of) using Texmod
Spike Stritter
lol thatd be cool seeing a cartographer bar like a HM bar
Lord Dagon

but yes anyway /signed for the carto thing. id be nice to have.
and @JonnieBoi05.. what anet doesnt know cant hurt them...

Use TexMod. I don't think areas have definite exploration boundaries for this to work with.

Having a notice that tells you the area is fully explored was my first thought back when I began cartography. Now I wouldn't like it for myself because I had fun with finding missing spots with my own eyes. But as almost everyone now uses texmod, which can be harmful, and many people would find find it useful...if it's technically doable I /sign

The space behind eradon Terrace is evidence that the areas have no clearly defined lines of where you can explore. As is anywhere you can get to by portal jumping.

However, i would like it if the game had some in-game (no third-party for reasons already stated) feature to give more sense to this title. Damn, exploring means going around watching new places, not walking facing a wall all the time (which is what you do even with texmod). Even if it's true that texmod makes the title way easier to get, it's always something which hasn't anything related with exploring and seeing new places. However, i'm sure this topic has already been discussed somewhere else.

Very good idea, I did it with texmod. But would have been so much better if you get an ingame notification that you got 100% of the area.
Essence Snow
Yeah I don't see why it would be so hard to implement...The game knows when you have 100% of a continent...and they know the % each area can contribute to that title....so why not? Granted I already got my titles via textmod...but know plenty who won't use it and feel for them mapping w/o it.
Commander Kanen
I dont agree with any of it. Dont use texmod and no extra help to map please.
I have never used it and it was fine for me. just do a Vanquish and Hug the walls when you are done !.

its a whole bunch of
if map = 100% explored;
then println.[cant remember] ("Map has been 100%explored");
sorry for the java-ish syntax since I haven't use C++ yet

2) they don't know the % each area can contribute...again because of how loosely defined the lines between areas are and how good people can scrape.

TexMod is far from perfect and it doesn't notify you when an area is completely explored.
For me TM messes with my graphics and I have to shut down GW after a few zones.
I think it's a reasonable suggestion and I don't believe it should be that hard to implement.
They could even make it new content by having an NPC who tells you which areas are not explored and dispenses clues if it has a trick (like areas in prophecies) to clearing it out.
That's asking a lot, but keeping this game fun and playable until GW2 is important.

-Isn't it System.out.println ("xxx"); ?
-Anyway...Eh...I did my 100% in Proh and Fac w/o textmod and it wasn't hard at all..
