ok the ship rid is instanced. There is some of us who would rather rid a ship to cantha and nightfall. i think that would be much cooler than instance to where I want to go. maybe even a movie seen.

ps

when are we going to own ships

Its already annoying not being able to just map to cantha or Tyria If you are in Cantha.

I don't want anything to make it even longer.

Map travel is instant, Boat travel is annoying

Now you want to make it Long and annoying? No thank you.

Boat travel would be great, about once.

p.s. never.

Maybe a new title is needed. The trigger would be to travel by ship and do at least 3 missions, then travel to a new continent and do 3 missions, etc. I also hate the continent travel implementation. For instance, if I am in UW and I go to the Guild Hall via the Guild menu for an alliance battle, I am now in Cantha and can map travel there. If I want to go back to Temple of Ages, I have to go through 2 loading screens.

I'm not sure of a solution, but it seems bulky.

I get seasick.

Ships FTW.

Maybe make some ship arenas instead of traveling? Or even a giant ship as a Guild Hall! Oh my. /faints

Sure a cut scene would be nice but it would be 1 extra button (skip) to push.

I would prefer it you click on the boat, choose the continent and instead of zoning you to a hub on that continent it just changed the map you were looking at.

I think it would be nice to have a short little cinematic the first time you travel to a new continent. It would only show up when you do the actual quest to get from one continent to the other. After that you just map.

The cine could show a skyline of the new continent. When traveling to Elona you might see a pyramid or something in the distance.

Is there a buffet on this cruise ship?

I think this tops my list of the "TOP TEN WORST GW IDEAS EVER"

This hits the charts at #9 But I expect a big jump for it on next weeks top ten. I absolutely hate having to take that ship to get to other continents, i wish i could jdut map travel to any place in cantha from any place in prophecies and so on.

Maybe as a one time mission, when you complete it you can sail back and forth with one click.

7/8 players have opted to skip this real time cut-scene of actual sea crossing footage. Currently 1 Hr remaining until you cross the Channel and hit Fran....Cantha!

I second that. click the boat, select a map, see the map, click a town - 1 load and you're there.

Maybe a skippable cutscene the very first time, then never again.

Obviously many people here havent realized how easy trasportation in guildwars is.

Go play lineage (for example) and tell me what you think about trasportation there!
( paying for a gatekeeper to tele you, sometimes big money, or taking a ship takes 15 minutes in that game)

Then come play gw and realize how much more accessible and easy transportation there is than in any other game.

MM. ok, it'd be nice if THE FIRST voyage you ever made between continents had an instanced mission, or maybe just a cutscene, which could be repeatable later (but only if you wanted it). Certainly would help the story flow, and might filter a few of the lv2s being run and then moving from tyria to cantha.
