Guild Wars 2

I am having problems with cave and underground maps. If I’ve explored the area, I believe I should be able to see it, just like I can see the rest of the map.

I understand that covering up parts that you’re not directly in adds to the ‘mystique’ of being in a cave, but I find it more of a hindrance than an immersion technique, especially when exploring caves with winding pathways and different goals like the Skritt kingdom in Mrot Baru.

I would love it if you could consider making cave maps fully visible like the rest of the map. I feel that the only reason it is done is so that players know that there’s a ‘roof’ on the cave? Maybe make it so that if someone hits the lower tier of the map, the roof disappears and I can see the whole cave?

Thanks for your consideration.

I think this is actually a bug. I mean, there are buttons on the world map for Upper Level, Surface and Underground, but pressing Underground doesn’t show anything (except making the map slightly grey). When you are in a cave, only a small part of it is shown on the map OR minimap, and as soon as you leave it is covered up again, which isn’t helpful at all – why have a Underground option when it doesn’t change anything?
I am pretty sure that this was different in the earlier Beta weekends, but maybe that’s just my imagination.

Funnily enough, when you press Underground it actually stops showing you the cave you’re in. (You can only attach one sc per post…)

Is this going to be addressed? Please? It’s really buggy!
