Sorry due to the quality, I have been trying to get it in a visable perspective part by part. I will continue to help with quality.

If that's all there is, I will be very disappointed. We have pretty much seen all of Kurzick and Luxon territory during the FPE and besides monastery area and Cantha, there doesn't seem to be ANYTHING else to explore.

I still hope there is portion of the map unexplored.

You do realize that most of Kaineng City was skipped during the FPE right? Somehow, I doubt we'll teleport all the way from the marketplace to pongmei valley in the actual game.

Yeah, I did.

Although I also need to get my eyes checked, because I thought that the upper portion of the map would be some sort of a huge city area. Hopefully there will be variety and my fears will be unfounded.

Rolintider hit it on the head, Im just taking the map from the bigger version of the pve event and fixing it with the same symbols and proper names. To give a general Idea of what and where they will be. Figured to just post this up in the mean time to give an ease of mind for some people. To me its not small at all, but that is IMO.

good day yall

I'm guessing/hoping that a lot of the playable areas function like the Underworld, Fissure of Woe, and PvE Tombs: They won't appear on the map because they're below ground. I hope I didn't over-explore the Jade Sea during the FPE.

That will be out of control sweet except for one thing... will the teams from the two sides be random? If they are then... gg.

Nope...I am sure there will be alot more places to go to between The Marketplace and the factions' starting towns. The Marketplace seems accurate, though, in that is likely where the Original Cantha charries will meet Tyrians.

This probably isn't the whole map.

Have an early look at a handful of the game's key areas,
And as was said, a number of places may not even appear on the map.

Well I seriously hope you're right by saying that this isn't whole map, because I would be partially right with my rant after last event, that map shown isn't even half of Tyria..

Size may be irrelevant considering how much of Tyria is unused. This seems much more dense.

If you look closer you will see that the icons are the same as the small locations on that of Ch.1. and can be seen in that map.

Also Consider when Ch.1. was released how much of that map we dont use. I think its safe to assume this is all we will get until a patch opens more up or similar to S.F. if at all.

Here's another thing to consider. The number of quests, at leasts what I played in the FPE, is much more dense than GW:P. Yes. The square footage seems to be less, but there's probably going to be a lot more gameplay per area than there was in GW:P. Multiple quests per area, oh yeah. Someone I believe found out that the mission areas were also explorable areas, so they do double-duty.

It's actually a good design for maximizing gameplay for minimal design costs.

I would have to differ with you on the quests. In the FPE there was multiple quests that either A. had the same end point, b. in the same area, or etc..

I know on the Krun side, there was an alter south east of the L. Conservatory that had the same end point as 3 other quests.
I know at another point in the same zone I was able to complete 5 quests.

Yeah, I'm looking at my map of Tyria right now...only maybe...like 1/3 of the map is actually being used. Almost half the Tyrian map is water and the big chunk of land off the Crystal Desert. Almost half of the jungle is unused as well.

I can't tell very good from the map posted, but it looks to me like they are using most of the map this time, but its all squished together. Which really isn't a bad thing. How many people don't go past Temple of Ages anymore? I don't, I get ran down to Sanctum Cay from there and head to the desert. Does anyone even go to the jungle anymore?

Really, with all the running, and because so many of us with multiple characters don't want to deal with all the missions again, we're only using about half the map anyways. Ascalon, Shiverpeaks and the Desert. Some people continue on to the Ring of Fire, personally, I don't. I've done it once with PUGs, I don't want to experience that again.

Cantha is 2/3 the size of Tyria but more dense.
Also, from a recent Gaile log, she mentioned they won't be using old places to introduce new content in the next campaigns. So it's safe to assume Tyria is as it is now and Cantha can still grow. Besides, she said they'll stop adding content to the older campaigns and instead will concentrate on the new content.

It appears now that Tyria became a testing ground for the path they are going to take. ^_^ Cantha is more denser than Tyria, avoiding what maybe an unintentional mistake in Tyria

Just a hunch
