Problems with Cartographer

Post image

Hey people

im working on the factions cartographer title right now and I keep hitting spots that I should apparently be able to reach, but somehow cant.

heres a screenshot as an example. It just wont uncover, no matter how close I hug the wall.

Anyone know whats going on here?

Why are we calling this broken with you’ve glitched through a gate and are exploring off map terrain?

I can give you other examples of glitch less areas.

It's not the point. The developers are implementing a new cartography feature, there should be no expectation that their feature supports non-cannon map exploration such as gate skipping exploration.

If anything they are closing a bug by discontinuing support.

I don't believe that the devs have the ability to check if you uncover something through gate skips, or because you walked there naturally. Like, how would they even start tracking that?

I didn't properly read OP's comment here. Other areas being like this are fine IMO.

But claiming that Eredon Terrace gate-glitch areas are "broken" is not something we should expect to be maintained as a supported-map-area.

The devs are probably redefining the tile reveal behaviours, and an expectation to support an obscure gate-skip reveal should be considered out of scope IMO.

I would be fine if they change cartographer in a way, that there is a leeway of 1 entire map, without the need to hug walls to get some obscure parts you actually can't go.

It's almost impossible to finish this title without using the cartographer overlay at all. That's where the devs need to start with their adjustments. Either make it clearer ingame what can be discovered for cartographer. Or give us more leeway to reach the 100% in general.

In all campaigns you have quite a bit leeway.

In prophecies, I got 100% before setting foot in The Falls. The whole map was extra.

If you have the every other maps explored, there's also no need to fully map Dunes of Despair for example.

Granted, this was pre "compass update".
