I see people asking for travels to all outposts and not just mission outposts, and we know that would cause a lot of clutter, so here's a more simple idea for at least solving Vanquish travel.

Add an option on the Zaishen Vanquish/Mission/Bounty flags to also allow your party to travel to the nearest outpost for the current Z-quest. For example, for the ZB to kill Fozzy Yeoryios in Sacnoth Valley, it would offer your party to travel to Longeye's Ledge.

Of course, you might say that you can use the existing travel feature and go to nearest mission outpost, but that's more time consuming. Longer run, more cluttered options as they present you all mission outposts in the area, while as flags would offer you a single direct option even a monkey could use.

While this would allow players to easily teleport to their desired outpost or mission, it would not be helpful to others who are just trying to do X mission that has not shown up recently as a Z-Challenge. Additionally, if there are multiple outposts from which you can access an area in order to complete your Bounty or Vanquish, players may not want to always start at outpost Y to do it, and will have to map travel to another outpost anyways. Just because one is suggested for players doesn't mean that that's where they want to be.

Then instead they could offer to map travel to any of the outposts which are neighbouring the area the challenge is in.

I like the idea and think it would be useful, but with such an awesome update I think we should leave them alone for a while

I don't really see the use. The point of the Embark Beach travel is so that 8 player groups won't get split up when they take the boat to Kamadan/LA. Traveling to a mission and then to another outpost takes about 15s extra, can't you just deal with that? A foolhardy question to ask online, I know

Ok let me give you a better incentive for this suggestion:
* Let's say Zaishen Vanquish would be The Black Curtain, or Talmark Wilderness. All Krytan mission outposts are maximum 6 players while Temple of Ages are 8 players. Now since you can't go directly to ToA, you're forced to either split up your party, meet and group up in ToA, or go to a late stage in Prophecies (Desert or Rings of Fire) and hope everyone got the outpost.

Now wouldn't it be easier if the flag could teleport your full team directly to ToA?
