Need to add new guild puzzle waypoint

A new waypoint was added with Feb 26, 2013 Update, called Langmar Estate. --Alad 04:00, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Done. —Dr Ishmael 04:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Looks nice. And subdividing the maps like that is very useful. Can't be easy though, since you'd have to go there with a character that's never been there before? Hell of a lot of work... Or did Anet supply the boundary overlay? --Alad 11:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I thought I'd explained this somewhere already that I could link to, but can't find it now. Anyway, yes, I took a new character and run her through the entire PvE world, taking screenshots of every new area as she uncovered them. I used uMod (successor of TexMod) to repaint the map's background in solid magenta, to make the edge detection easier. Then I had to stitch the screenshots together in Inkscape, one area at a time, and draw out that area's border. When that was done, I used uMod again to clean up the map (remove the cloud overlay, hide the interface, replace contested icons with standard icons, etc.), screenshot the whole bloody thing, and stitch together a basemap in GIMP. Finally, I overlaid the SVG borders on the BMP map and exported JPGs for every single area.

Yes, it was a lot of work. Exploring the world took over a month. Creating the SVG took another month, and creating the final JPGs took 10 days (because I was on vacation for a week, would've been another month otherwise). —Dr Ishmael 12:54, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I would give you a couple of legendaries just for this work, if I were Anet. :D Heroic effort. Missing just one piece would have meant having to re-level another character... Gratz mate. (PS: Wouldn't Anet have given their wiki an overlay with the boundaries?) --Alad 16:02, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

No, they're selfish with their artwork requests. Chieftain Alex 17:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

MISSING HEARTS FIX PLZ, ONLY 16 when there are 18. Sorry for caps but I'm raging. 96.254.233.61 02:38, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey, these maps aren't easy to make. :/ —Dr Ishmael 02:51, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

You can blame User:Dr ishmael for not updating these pages constantly and therefore end up looking weird.--Relyk ~ talk < 03:01, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Waypoint got moved

Waypoint at Lake Feritas got moved. You can see the difference at the picture i updated at Strum Bassclash if you update it here it should also be updated at Lake Feritas - Sonea Elder (talk) 15:08, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Vault Waypoint removed

The Vault waypoint does not exist anymore.

The current map shows 19 waypoints, but the ingame map shows only 18. The wiki page about Old Duke's Estate (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Old_Duke's_Estate) is up to date though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.219.185.100 (talk • contribs) at 03:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC).

You're right. I'll updated this map later today, thanks for the reminder! =) - Do_odleplex 07:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Fixed it, thank you! talk 13:25, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Changed Borders

At some point they changed some borders between Martyr's Woods, Agnos Gorge and The Toppled Wall. The POI "Deadgod's Lair" is now in Martyr's Woods, so are the events starting there.--Aylia (talk) 22:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I expect the borders were always as you describe, these maps are ancient; using hand-drawn boundaries based on guesswork from a retired user's screenshots.

We have the API now so we can redraw it. I've done the sector svg file, I just need to assemble a jpeg to use as a base map. I'll do this sometime this weekend. (updated Agnos Gorge's red+black locator map in the meantime. -Chieftain Alex 23:59, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Actually you're dead right, at some point the area names moved, so they must have revised the boundaries. -Chieftain Alex 07:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, they changed some of the levels you get scaled down to, too. I only remember it, because I did some work on the german wiki at this time, changing mostly everything I documented a week before :D--Aylia (talk) 21:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
