    Disable the home-point pop-up maps.

    Is there a toggle or something so I can get rid of the pop-up maps?

    The maps are a great idea for new players and players who haven't worked out where the home-points are. But I don't need the maps, and when I go to nexus via the home-points, the screen shudders and this big wobbly map pops up. It gives me the fear, lol.

    I might have missed something where I can toggle the maps on and off. If there is no such toggle, would it please be possible to have one.

    /hpmap off

    etc.

    If you don't have a map of the zone, a bunch of error messages pop up stating that you don't have a map of the zone. Would be nice to get rid of those at least.

    I actually think the HP map is a great idea by SE, it helps new players etc. Its just that I really don't need the map pop-up because I know the areas and have learned where the home points are. Also the (A) (M) (E) home point notes are enough to remind me where the home points are in towns. So for my personal gaming, I would really like to /disable the whole pop-up map function.

    It actually made me warp to the wrong place twice, the pop-up startled me and made my hand slip onto the wrong area lol.

    I really like the HP nexus warping system, it is one of the best things SE have added in recent years, movement speed being the other main one.

    I was just enjoying the HP warping system a lot more before the maps started pouncing out at me. I'm quite a jumpy jittery person at times, and the map just leaps out at me and makes me flinch lol.

    I noticed that today too! It was rather jarring.

    Maybe it's just my computer, but if you warp quickly enough, the maps won't even pop up. Gotta sit on a warp location for 2-3 seconds before it loads up. That seems to be good enough IMO, unless not everyone's takes that long to load.

    HP map isn't a bad idea but a toggle would really be the best of both worlds.

    The maps take some time to appear. If you make your selection quickly, they won't pop up. There is no toggle option, but personally I feel it is a wonderful feature to be able to see where I'm going before I go there- It's hard to remember every single location. I'm actually suprised anyone finds this "annoying".

    Well like I said, I know where I'm going so I don't need pop ups. The map lurches and sways around on the screen when you are scrolling down to the HP you want to warp to. I liked it better when I clicked on the HP, and just saw the area I am standing in, and my character and the scenery. I don't need the screen to be filled-up with a big map that lurches and sways around like that.

    The whole point of adding new features is to improve the gaming experience for all players. And my point was that I was really enjoying HP nexus warping a lot more before this new pop-up feature was added, so for me it is not an improvement, unless there is an on/off toggle added.

    I really like this feature. I'm constantly forgetting where the home point is in zones where there are multiple home points. So I'd be fine with it if they made it so you can turn it off for yourself, but I don't want the whole feature stricken.

    The map lurches and sways around on the screen when you are scrolling down to the HP you want to warp to. I was just saying that pop-ups which fill the screen, lurch and sway around, are not really enhancing my game at all.
    I'm not sure why this is so "annoying" (and as I said, you can prevent it from occurring by making your selection quickly, which you should be able to do if you "always know where you're going"). If the transitions are what bother you, then perhaps they can remove them and make it all pop instantly- I certainly wouldn't mind that. I don't think this feature should be removed nor a toggle added, unless its extremely bottom of the barrel priority such not to affect anything else. It enhances my gameplay and pretty much everybody's, probably- especially, as previously mentioned, when there are multiple locations in the same area to warp to.

    That said you're really over dramatizing the whole "big wobbly lurching pop up maps" thing. If it wasn't that way, I'd have expect someone to post and complain how sudden and jerky the transitions would be if they were instant with no transition animation.

    It actually made me warp to the wrong place twice, the pop-up startled me and made my hand slip onto the wrong area lol.
    I think you're reaching here, that's pretty hard to believe.
