Anyone else think we need a quick way to switch maps? Instead of having to change towns to get different maps...

I think he means that we need a way to get to different zones faster. As in, a quick way to get to different explorable areas instead of having to switch to the town and then travelling out. I don't think we should be able to do that, it is pretty unnecessary.

If you actually are referring to a quicker switching between towns, as said above, what's quicker than pressing M and then 2 clicks?

There are 3 maps in the game [2 if you don't have Factions]. Users shouldn't have change towns just to switch maps...

In regards to switching maps. That would be a bit silly.

Eg. you can potentially jump stright to Mineral Springs without going though the first map. (although this isn't a big problem, it just (I'm working off the top of my head here =P)

Another potential problem would be in running. Doing the more difficult runs like Drok run from beacons, you can then re-zone to beacons, change build/remove DP and start straight off at dreadnoughts drift. Do you see the problem there?


Its annoying after a long trek you err7 on the portal, but hopefully it doesn't happen too often.


EDIT: Posted while OP posted.
OK sorry, its 3 clicks (maybe 4). Whats wrong with clicking the boat? You don't need to be in LA/Keining to do that.
Also, if you want to get to PVP isles, just go via GH.

EDIT2: I just understood what you meant. As in you want to show the Cantha map while in Tyria?
Well, I can't really disagree with it, I just don't know why you would need it?

Maybe an option to view the contents of viewing another map and zoning to that place. Say your at Kaiheng Center. You press "M", and right click Lions Arch, and you can view the whole Tyria map without having to warp to Lions Arch first.

Agreed, it's rather annoying to go through and be forced to travel to either LA or Kaineng.

I'd rather click the ship and have these options appear:
  • Tyria
  • Battle Isles
  • Cantha
From there, simply clicking on one of those options and clicking "Travel" should allow you to see that map.
