I apologize for the delay, "LIFE" stop by to say HI.
Here's your map comparisons.

Amatii27
You can't host images from "C Drive". Use ImageShack, preferred, or Photobucket.

Ormiel
Even though AndyWilliams was nice enough to do a comparison please refer to the first post in this thread for rules and requirements.
Map comparisons are only done at 95% or more explored.

bhavv
Since I don't see a question in your last post I'm going to reply to your statements.
At times the amount needed to be uncovered is minimal and if you aren't watching the map at the time you uncover the area you won't notice a difference. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Since the map in the above post obviously doesn't have 95% or more uncovered, no comparison will be done.

CaptCarnage, Hikikomori & Amatii27
Here's a map comparison for ya.

CaptCarnage
Suggestion: revisit each red circle. Some of these are repeats from your last comparison.

Amatii27
The quality of you map is really low and that makes it hard to find the small differences which can make or break a GMC. If you don't get your last .6% and you submit another map, please try to post a higher quality map.

My ranger was stuck at 99.8% for ages. It was driving me nuts. I scraped and re-scraped every area and I just couldn't find that last 0.2%. Then a guildie asked me if I'd scraped all the towns and outposts. Of course I have, I said. But I checked anyway and guess what I found? I did a circuit of the little island where the Ring of Fire outpost is located and I got my missing 0.2%!!
Maybe this will be of help to others.

Thanks for the tip, I'm sure it'll help someone.

The only difference between this map and the one from page 162 are the two spots in Spearhead Peak. Your previous comparison can be found here.

Amatii27
Here's your new comparison with more spots identified.

Does anyone have access to any fully-mapped U-maps of the separate areas of Tyria?

I'm just done wall-grinding my way around all of Ascalon... and I'm looking for a full-scale U-map (100%) of the region to compare. I figure I might as well deal with Tyria one section at a time rather than trying to map everything and then finding I have gaps scattered all over the place.

I am stuck at 95.3 at the moment.

I am still working on the Hell's Precipice(sp?) mission so I do know about that, but I wanted to see if anyone can let me know the other areas that I need to get 100% as I almost have most of the last mission mapped I know the last little bit isn't 4.7%

I've seen a lot of the maps that are out, but for some reason I can't get my maps as clear as those, I still get the cloud effect moving over the country side. If someone can let me know how to clean that up I will post a new map.

Please refer to the first post in this thread for rules and requirements, also remember to have the game in Full Screen mode and NOT Window Mode.

TC Fish's website should have what you are looking for.

I'm at 99.9%! I even ticked off each of the spots I went over!

Just one last time, I promise! I hope it's not in some incredibly obvious spot..

I am above 95% for the title, I am in full screen mode, and I can't resize as I have a widescreen monitor, I did try to get a shot at the right dimension, however it would only stretch out the display when I took a screen of the map.

Ok, after a while of playing around, I have it at 1280x1024.

In the original post it lists preferred sizes, incase you were interesed, here is what preferred means: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/preferred

If those are what is expected, I would think that the wording would need to be changed.

Just one last time, I promise! I hope it's not in some incredibly obvious spot.. You tried the Necrotic Traversal exploit in The Frost Gate mission?
I've noticed that the fully zoomed map I'm using now got 100% without having done that... and it netted me a fair bit extra.

Supposedly there is more that can be reached in The Wilds as well, but I haven't got my mapping process that far west yet.

I know there is a portion on the north edge (mid westerly portion of the north side) of Anvil Rock where you can run along a mountain ridge... away from the typically explorable part of the map. The 100% map I was comparing to didn't have that either.

Hope it helps. ^_^

... How do I get to that small, circular island south of Kryta and East of Sanctum Cay?

I've seen it fully explored on some 100% maps... but I never thought you could get to it until I saw that... I still don't know how one would get to that place.... Is there a way, or is it just one of those old arenas that got removed?

I have a 100% Tyrian map in 1280x1024.
I finished yesterday and bailed out right after 100% to help someone in guild.

I know it has a few spots missing.
Lornar's Pass is partly unexplored and not totally cleared in the upper side, I was working on that when I got 100% and decided to get out.
There is a spot on the east side of Sanctum Cay missing.
And a spot near the entrance of Sorrow's Furnace.
Also a small spot in ?? (forgot the name, it's the small area above Ice Caves of Sorrow).

There are probably some other spots, so if anyone can give me those I can clear them to make a full 100% map if there is need for one.



Additional:
If I get online tonight I will post a 1024x768 version of this map.

Wobrak, thanks for doing my map for me previously, much appreciated.

I am now on 99.7%. I need a small bit in Dragons Gullet, but can you look at this again and let me know what else I need please.

There is a small bit above the entrance to sorrows. I've tried to get it, but think I am still failing. Any tips on getting that?

Thanks, this is a great service.

Tois,

I have done a quick visual on your map (at work atm, can't do a compare and circle).
You missed a spot in the upper east part of Nolani.
You also missed a spot in the Borlis Pass north west area (I think where the first group of enemies comes from when you have to light the magical torches).

I also think you have missed a spot in Gates of Kryta.
It's west of the first boss you kill (taking the normal route).

Spot east of Ventari's Refuge (other side of the wall), could be clouds.

Riverside Province, kill the last tower (east side), walk down to the water (pier).

The west upper part of Thunderhead Keep (explore after mission).
Also a spot (westside) inside or just outside the outpost south-east of Droknar's.

A spot south of Amoon Oasys, keep hugging the wall on your right side all the way down to you reach a couple of large bones.
Spot inside building of the monk-boss Thirsty River (east side)

The way I did this:
Opened my 1280x1024 posted above and visual compared it to yours (swap windows)

Thanks alot, that will help loads. Got the bit in THK last night (forgot to mention that before)

The rest I will try and get over the next couple of days hopefully. Should be easy with this info.

You must have better eyesight than me, or I need to look harder. Thanks again

And my image program at work supports 200% zoom, which also works great when comparing.

Hey guys. Back again. This time I'm stuck at 99.2. I think I hit all the places that were circled in my last map check. But I also have a question- there was an area along the right coast of the ring of fire island containing hell's precipice and abbadon's mouth, a little spot that looks kind of orange.... how do I get to that? Is it part of hell's or abbadon's?

Anyway here is my updated map.

hey, just a quick question about percentages

what do you think everything excluding the desert entirely, and abaddons mouth mission and outpost and hell's precipice mission and outpost

if this is confusing, i mean what is the max possible percent without ever getting to abaddons or the desert, but everything else

i see itll just be a rough estimate, but thats fine

thx in advance
