BUT, 1Gb of RAM isnt that expensive anymore.. buying some more might be a nice solution too.

Got a fast computer personally but I know how it feels for some people and I find it very annoying myself having to load 3 times to get to some areas.

I say Rhelm of Torment should be left alone, but give us a HUGE world map that we can just scroll and click to. The map gets bigger as the expansions you upload are added.

I really hate all the loads, why cant we just go from Droks (for example) to Shing Jea (again- for example) in one load?

One bad internet connection + connected wirelessly to my laptop + EIGHT people sharing said internet connection = VERY slow loads... I've gone to playing in International districts just because nobody is there..... Let me have only one load instead of three please!

we have also asked for map tabs before, we didnt get them....but if it will kill DL times I am for it. I hate kamadan and have no reason ever to go there anymore. why not let us switch maps without travel. then we can go where ever the hell we want.

but for those of u who skimmed the main thing.. here it is again
but ill try to descrebe it better...
ur in tyria... imange a little button with an arrow on it or something that says go to Elona/Cantha....
and u click it, and the map chnages...
and u see all elona/cantha...
and then u can map to where you want to go
and for the Realm of Torment....
when u click the "vortex" it just changes ur map to inside....
not takes u to one town right away.

/signed i hate have to zone 3 times to get some place another way they could fix this is just make the map a huge world map like this http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/b/b...oBG_Medium.jpg and if you don't have a campaign then there wont be a place that you can zone to there.

All i can say is.
Tough! Get a job! Earn cash, buy upgrades for your computer and stop crying.
If you're too young to work then use what you have. Not Anet's issue that your pc is low-grade. there are ways to speed it up.
F11- Graphic's options - Low Optimacy.
Network Options. Low latency
Fixed.
Um no...Some of us aren't freaks...It's not our problem that you're a nerd who does nothin but play his computer. Some of us actually Work for a living. Because we HAVE a job. I never have time to play, but in lesser words. My pc is equivilent to what Anet built Gw's on. Dual Core 5ghz, 3gb Ram, Radeon Sapphire (latest TOP-Line Graphics) 1ghz Net connection.
Yea I dont play but when I do... No issues. :P

Usually the long load comes from the amount of players in the district. Try warping around using the International Districts instead of your territory districts.

This is just another way to be lazy in the game. Next thing people will want to select where they log into on a character from the login screen.
My PC doesn't take too long loading locations, but I don't mind waiting a little longer as I do. Invariably I am with someone else who sometimes takes longer.... not an issue.
As to zoning anywhere to anywhere.... the idea of the the lil ship is to facilitate the travel between the major places.
However I'd like to see an Asura Gate from the GH

We just need them to actually merge the maps and then it wont be so bad entering and leaving the ROT!

lol that would sooo confuse some players. Especially if they havent been playing long or don't have all the campaigns

Some people dont have prophercies so all they see is the entire hidden prophercies map, except for the northern and south parts where GWEN exists.
The same would work if they marged all the maps. You would just seem a blured bit for the game you wont own. I also think it would work well as a sales technique.
Imagine having a HUGE map and sections you cant explore unless you buy an expansion. Its a far bigger insentive.
MithranArkanere
The best solution would be to "Show maps without being in the are of the map".
The boat:
- Instead of travelling the items in the list of the boat would be the other areas. Click the boat, click Cantha. The canthan map is shown. Don't like it, click the map again, select another map. Once you are looking t the map of the land you want to go, click the unlocked location you want to get to.
The Vortex
- The Morah Vortex will show the Torment map, without tavelling.
- The Gate of Torment Vortex will show the Elonian map, with no travel.
The Asura Gate.
- The Same. Click on any of the gates, and the Tyrian map is shown. The gate near Lion's Arc would be removed, though.

I proposed a similar idea .http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10214095
I would prefer to see more ports of call.
Press G and press Guild Hall presto you are there.

I want to see the last 10 places you visited as a drop down list on your map. Of course not for Deep/Urgoz or places that doesn't have a clickable map icon.

I hate it too, and I have a good computer that's fast. When loading up a high populated area it's very frustrating for slower computers, I'm sure of it.

gw is unique to the concept of instant map travel, unlike many other MMO's where you have to spend time to actually go where you want.
its also unique in the way its graphics are scaled so people with lower end computers can still play the game, just at a disadvantage of speed, and graphics.
this would help all those who chose to play gw, instead of buying a top of the line cpu. making their time more well spent..
no reason to make the map travel not more convienant. 'tis annoying to zone multiple times, instead of just once. espically with slower cpu's/net.. have friend that take literally 5 mins to zone once, with major lag for a good 2 mins after.(i consider myself lucky to have a mid-line cpu that can load a zone in under 30 seconds)

I always liked the old gaming idea of "/travel *insert place name here*" Easy if you know how to spell the place

Though except for the first few loads for a new campaign(3+ minutes, because of all the new things)
I find it quite bearable, usually done in less than 10 seconds, mostly 6ish.
(it's the lag of waiting for my ATI card to optimize all textures afterwards that is annoying, I want a "select least active district" option, because armor textures hurt the most.
But the worst is that it optimizes the textures of arrows, weapon trails, and skill effects only during the first fight; which tends to lag like hell)
512 MB RAM here too;
...I really need to do something about it. It kinda makes having a fast multi core processor useless...
I actually deinstalled GW from my laptop, because loading took too long, it has only 265 or sumsutch.

Your opposition is fundamentally absurd.
Anyway, I have no trouble, but it would be nice if I didn't have to go through all those clicks to get from one city to another in different campaigns, plus it would save ANET the server-side work of having to load the intermediary city (Lions Arch, Kamadan, Kaineng, etc.) that the user doesn't even want to be in.

Yeah, RoT to other places is extremely annoying. Anyway where all maps are viewable and don't require multiple loads will work.
