I hope they bring back Slaver's Exile in a following expansion. That dungeon was brilliant, albeit frustrating as fack.

This is amazing, I love this kind of thing. Thanks for all the time you invested in creating it.

Edit: Saw that you also have a map of pre-searing locations on that account as well, which was also great!

That's correct I've made it after somebody reminded me I didn't include the Pre-Searing locations this time, I'll update the post as well!

[Cherrie]

This is simply amazing!
I love it!

However, I've found a little error (or omission), probably because you're missing a location on your map in Brisban Wildlands, you have misplaced the Henge portal (I take it was supposed to be the portal you exit at the end of GW1 Aurora Glade mission?).

Please compare to this Wiki map, there is a small area on the west from Toxal Bog called Aurora Remains.

Spoiler

It actually has mobs and event chain reminescent of Aurora Glade mission

Running around the Tyria of GW2, I love visiting locations and seeing how they've changed since the first game. This map is amazing and tickles my fancy quite thoroughly. Incredible work That Shaman, your efforts are much appreciated.

Really well done mate, cheers!!

[ThePinkFrog]

Thank you for that!

That is very sweet. I'll check out some locations tonight.

I wasn't aware how ArenaNet used the GW1 map so accurately .

[Velicia]

Nicely done!

[XSevSpreeX]

Nice job. I think a couple things are a little off (I don't think Yak's Bend and CTF were that close for example) but overall very nice.

[boxterduke]

Very nice, I also like these kind of things
I see that you have the Temple of Grenth (Lornar's Pass), Balthazar (Ascalon and the Falls)

Some are missing like:

Lyssa in http://wiki.guildwar...wiki/Sage_Lands
Melandru http://wiki.guildwar...n_Serpent_Lakes

etc...

[BrettM]

There are a ton of statues of the gods scattered all over the landscape, but only three actual temples (counting ToA). I don't blame him for not putting in all the others as almost every zone has several. The Balthazar statue in Pre-Searing is a special case, as it stands alone, unlike the others that are associated with different landmarks (Ashford Abbey, Catacombs, Althea's stage, King's Watch).

[Tr3LoS]

Really awesome map dude. Thanks for the gathered info there!

[crespjason]

I'll check out some locations tonight.
