just want to say, very sweet maps, clear and concise. Current reference maps are being deleted and new ones bookmarked

May I use these maps on my gw site? The site isn't in effect yet but it will focus on exploration. Of course I will credit you in the style you wish and provide links to your page/here/where you like.

Sweet maps

Any plans to try to map Underworld or Fissure? Cause i've been through most of UW but the minimap and the big map don't change, kind of like the catacombs i guess

Anyway, anyway i can help in these areas (i'm better at uw) I would be glad to

Well, I have a very small attempt at the underworld sitting on my computer waiting for me to find a group that can fill in the rest of it, but that's rather lower priority compared to the other thing I'm working on. Not to mention, it's harder to do x_x

Hi. That's a GREAT Work!!!
But will you continue that? There will be more new maps and already now there aren't so many arenas as in the Beta..

Heh, about the arenas.. I sort of like to update the maps all at once, so I've been holding off until I'm ready. Perhaps I should fix that up, though.

MooManiBE, is it OK to mirror them on our guild sites, unmodified? we had done something similar to your new region maps a while ago to your big one cause some people couldn't open it except in IE, so We would like to update those with your build, linking back to you of course on source strings, which we also did when we cut it up into regions... but I think it will help relieve some bandwidth if we can mirror links on occasion... With provision that we give you credit where due...

some of us were inspired and have been trying to map out the underworld areas... but its been proving more difficult then expected. lol

I found that Nogame from GameAmp already did the catacombs too , for Pre-searing here: http://guildwars.gameamp.com/game_map/game_map/118.php

and the Prima Strategy guide has some maps of arena areas...
and has colector locations on their maps. that may be useful...

Got it, but when it DOES become a priority, its not THAT.... ok its that hard, but I know a few folks that could help you make it easier. I think we got to one of the corners of it. We were lost at the time, but making headway in the direction we were going... whatever direction that was

There were like fields of ranger wurms and ghostly riders and this really big thing that resembled the the great pit of carkoon from star wars if anybody knows where we were

It's probably next on my list. I was packing and unpacking stuff all weekend though, thanks to getting new carpeting, so I haven't been able to access my computer. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to a good pace working on the map ^^;

On that Big Map at the bottom, there's 2 portals showing at the position of beetletun, but the town portal point of beetletun is not displayed on the map, but the small map on the top (kryta) has it. Suggest ya make a small change on that.

Hey I'm a fan of this map project, anyways I thought I would contribute too if this would be useful at all. It is a 100% (or at least I hope it is) explored lornars pass/dreadnoughts drift/snake dance run. It has quite a bit yours seems to be missing, especially in the northeast corner where your map boundary marker actually cuts off a small alternate passage through the Lornar section. I did this all with henchman last night so you can imagine the frustration -_-' But I thought I would submit em. If I have the format wrong or the pictures are taken to crappily just tell me and I will retake them. If you put my name with the contributors, just use Rumina Kiran, its my guild wars name. Anyways goodluck with this project and here are the pics!

Well... you did take them wrong actually x_x

They need to be taken in the mini-map that appears when you press U, not the fullscreen map that appears when you press M. The difference is that the U-map doesn't have that pesky cloud layer and therefore keeps the map cleaner.
(By the way, sorry about yesterday. I'm uploading the fix for the maps now. I've also tried increasing the quality again, so the full maps are larger filesize but purtier)

Doh! I tried to add it to the map last night and discovered that it's apparently the wrong resolution as well ;_;

Try 1280x1024 fullscreen, that's what I use to take shots.

I have been working on a UW map for some time, a lot of area is mapped, but the map isn't cleaned up at all ,lots of rough edges, lines, dots, etc. I will try and get it posted when its ready.

Nice Job!Kind of made me wish though that I told Xennon some of the stuff thats missing from his maps

for example in Snakes Dance there is A Griffron Spawn right near the Camp Rankor Entrance thats missing. They made some changes to the Perdition rock and Frozen Forest boss spwans last patch so there hopefully will be some more updates to the map. thougth right now this will get a lot of people to stop askign dumb questions about elites.

Btw any chance of getting the old version of the map Minus elites for quick Navigation?

Very nice and a lot of information all in 1 picture.

One thing though: please erase those annoying faint letters next to "Amnoon Oasis", they have been driving me nuts for weeks.

"Those annoying faint letters" are apparently what happens when I accidentally erase "The" from "The Amnoon Oasis". I'll get it fixed... eventually >_>;

I noticed the elite skills from the Dragon Facets (Dragon's Lair) aren't on there, however.

Great job, can we get some underworld/fissure maps going? It would take FOREVER to get that many screens from the minimap, but it would be a major breakthrough!

This is an awesome resource! Thanks to all involved!

MOOMANiBE: I'm wondering if it would be possible to to show paths from gate to gate in each area unobtrusively on the map. I find the way Guild Wars made their maps to be kind of confusing at times, so I think a faded yellow line or somesuch would be really helpfull for those of us using the maps to get from region to region.

Thanks again!

That's cool! It's always fun to see huge prints of the map.

As for the rest of the stuff, missing skills and such; I'll try and work on it soon. I've got a summer class coming up, but I don't think it'll prevent me from working on the map
