There is no need for more or new icons. The already existing ones can be used.

Click the boat, select 'Tyria', Tyria is shown, focused in the shouthern part .
You are in Elona, Click the Vortex, The Torment is show.
You are in Factions, Click the Asura gate, Tyria is Shown, focused in the northern part.

Done, easy as a pie.

You choose the port city to where you want to travel, then map. After that, you map to another destination.

If I'm in Market Place (Cantha) and want to get to Ascalon City (Tyria), that makes 2 loadings, which isnt efficient IMO.

What I'm suggesting is to make it so when you select a port city, then the map for that port city fades in or whatever, then you can select what outpost you'd like to travel to.

Exemple : You're in your Guild Hall, you want to travel to Henge of Denravi.

-Press M
-Click on the Boat, then select Lion's Arch (or it could be written "Continent of Tyria")
-Map of Battle Isles fades out
-Map of Continent of Tyria fades in
-You double click Henge of Denravi
-Voila

Would be much more efficient this way and we would save a load time (people with fast computers dont mind this, but people with lower end machines might end up saving 30+ seconds per travel.)

Hope I made this clear

Quite simple to implement and so much more efficient way of Travelling between continents.

Thanks!

that is exatlcy what i have been dieing for... its even worse with NF now...
imagine this:

u have 500 ram
ur in Droknar's Fordge.
You want to go to Abbadons Gate.

just to get there, u need to:

open map

map to nightfall

wait 3 minutes to load (remember, 500 ram)

open map again

map to the vortex

wait another 3 or so minutes

open map AGAIN

map to Abbadons Gate

wait 3 minutes to load

IF WE HAD INSTANT TRAVEL:

Open Map

Click "Contenitent of Elona" or W/E

Click "Vortex"

(oh btw, idea for vortex:when u click it, it fades into/out of realm of torment)

Click "Abbadons Gate"

and ur done

/signed to auto travel FTW

i mean it is a little annoying, but it beats overloading to random parts. "Shoot i meant Realm of Torment, not Maguma Jungle!"

im sorry i dont get it...how do u click realm of torment.. which is in elona.. and top of the map

with muguma jungle (which is an area, u cant port to "the muguma jungle")...which is in tyria, on the far left middle...

i just dont get ur post...

The only reason I can think against this is map icons being loaded when you travel to a certain region.

So if you clicked to travel to Elona from Tyria you'll se Tyrian icons there.

But I doubt anyone caring about that or it being hard to fix.

I am assuming by "500" you mean "512 Megabytes" since 500 would be very hard to get. I personally have a Gig (1024 megs, for everyone that doesn't know) and my load times are only at about 7 seconds, albiet, I am running on cable, but a friend of mine with dial-up runs at about 45 seconds per load with 1 gb.

Point of my post: 3 minutes is very unreasonable. Only with dial-up and 256mb of ram, you might have 3 minutes of load time, if it's your first load ever.

Real point of my post: Please don't exaggerate.

MithranArkanere · Feb 28, 2008, 12:09 AM // 00:09

I have 512 and sometimes I get more than 2 minutes.

it would probally just fade out, when u click travel to elona, then fade back in with a nightfall map...

why not? just cause u might have 2 gigs of ram, and load in half a second, others dont... some have dial up + 100 year old computer + 512 ram... and think of all that load?

it is needed ><

Needed.

Having to go from Doomlore-Kamadan-Vortex-Gate of Anguish and waiting for all those load times is something that just doesn't need to be like that, and could easily be remedied.

By the way, nice thread necromancy, Milthran.

definitely /signed it's a pain in the ass to go from LA to DoA, first go to Kamadan then to portal then to DoA, it's just very inefficient.

quickmonty · Feb 28, 2008, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Yes, I know. Three whole mouse clicks is such a pain.

Zesbeer · Feb 28, 2008, 06:08 AM // 06:08

another thought about this i had was what if there a tab in the hero's panel that said "travel" and then it would have 4 drop down menus "Tryia" "Cantha" "Elona" "Battle Is" so you pull down a menu and pick a town/arena the only place that wouldn't have this or would have a scaled down version would be pre.

tipiak · Feb 28, 2008, 09:39 AM // 09:39

/signed too

I might just not have an überpc but it takes some times to load the big cities : 30 secondes to 1 minutes or more depending on the number of people in the city. Quite annoying.

/signed really good idea!
