I was shocked at first too lol but I actually like it, it doesn't pop up unless you hover over the name for a few seconds so you should be able to pick your destination quickly.

I gotta agree an on/off toggle for Home Point Popup-Maps would be nice to have.
Well, aside from you basically accusing me of lying, for saying that I hit the wrong HP when the map leapt out on me, which is actually true by the way. You do seem angry and taking it personally that other people (in this thread and in game) would like the toggle option on the pop-up maps. I'm not a liar but I do have cerebral palsy, and am a nervous person. I don't like the screen flashing on like that and veering around, it makes me jump lol. But other people I have spoken to ingame also would like the on/off toggle, it isn't just me.
You say you don't think we should have a toggle. There are more important things, etc. But you miss the point, which is that I preferred the HP nexus warps before the map update, so I think they can add a killswitch which disables that update feature for people who find it tiresome. And alarming!
I hope you have a very lovely happy day, all day long. *hugs*
It's why we have a toggle for geo spells. For some people it made them want to ralph all over their keyboards. The maps might not affect you or seem to be jumpy, but for some others it is. I haven't been in game since this was put in but I'm sure I would hate this if I had to HP warp to somewhere soon after using warp. Only because I play on the Xbox and if I don't quickly select and commit to where I'm wanting to HP warp to I'll have a map on screen that I can't do anything about while the wonderful screen pause happens. Which is already annoying in it's self.
I really think the homepoint pop-up map is a wonderful feature that SE added, it is a really great idea - for new players or for people who can't remember where the HPs are.
But I would hate it if Selele the Tutorial NPC constantly popped up and filled my screen and gave me the "new player" dialogues on how to use a WS and how to eat food (helpful and useful stuff for new players), I don't need to be reminded of basics all the time and I feel the same about the pop-up maps, they are not relevant to me but I am seeing them all the time lol.
I, too, would opt out of this feature were it possible.
It's not exactly irritating me nor making me feel unwell, but I think it is slightly annoying for a reason I'm unsure of. I don't need it, and there is something about it that I just don't like. I really can't quite tell yet what it is.
Something I can say is that it seems to lock me out from adjusting the camera during the selection screen (not while viewing the map). A shocking problem, right (no, not really). I have more than once tried to move the camera there, but couldn't, and it felt odd!
So yeah, an option to disable this feature would be welcome. I do think it is a nice feature regardless, but I personally would choose a path without it.
I was a bit impressed that they'd pull something like that off, similar to the map marks for home-points etc. which all makes me simply question why not years ago. Well, times change, and I'm about to digress, so blubb!
...or so the legend says.
there's a toggle? I was under the impression they nerfed the visuals for everyone with no option to have the original effects.It's why we have a toggle for geo spells.
They did turn it down, but some people still wanted to vomit so they made them be effected by the other people's effects on/off in the configuration menu. I only know this because when I finally got a delv v1 clear semi recently we had a geomancer with us and they had plopped down a bubble on our one wipe on the two people dealing with the raptor. I also don't see the bubbles of others when their outside of towns skilling up. Or I could be totally wrong and imagining things. *shrugs*
I think a toggle would be nice.

Bumping, because the pop-up maps are still annoying me, and my character is still way more interesting to look at than big bouncy maps.
Count Bumpula, and Doctor Bumpenstein! Help me Obi-Wan Bumpobi, you're my only hope!
Etc.
