Guild Wars 2

I was looking on the Gw2 wiki a map of Tyria trying to guess where it will be the new map of the next LS episode and I’ve seen something that I’ve never noticed before…

This is the map I was looking to :

If you look closely to the southern part of the Orr map you see a region that we have never seen before even if it seems detailed…

Look better here:

The southern part is not the Arah dungeon map since you can see it directly at north of it

So basically….was this detailed region always there and I’ve never seen before or it’s totally new?

Thanks in advance :-)

I don’t remember seeing that before. Doesn’t look like there’s much green to it.

Of course, I don’t have the best detail-oriented memory, anymore.

The circular zone in the middle… with the six circles inside….could be a big temple to the six human gods :-)

Well, I’ve looked at the World Map as far back as December of 2014, and that portion is there. Thus, it’s not really new.

I’m sure some other player will post with an explanation of what it is. (I don’t do much in the way of Dungeons, and barely remember the Personal Story, so I’m no expert on Tyrian areas.)

I guess it has something to do with Arah Story mode map:

This map partially shows that region, but still it’s not the same map like the one you are writing about… interesting…

the bottom part shown in that map is the personal story instance that takes place in Arah (where the mouth spawns after the towers), like Avador said.

edit: saying that, there are loads of ground areas in that instance that are flown over, and never seen, or even unclovered on the map in-game. would be awesome if they did something with that.

There doesn’t have to bee a lot of green, just a few ferns and old trees come back to life

Mmm … yes , probably its the arah story map…. I’ve forgot that part ….it’s past too much time from the last time I did that instance :-)

Remember the devs have said the fogged out colours no longer represent the World terrain underneath it. They decided to abandon following that as a guide around about LS2/HoT since they stated it was restrictive.
