Setting Home Point

After the patch, iv been doing a lot of running for quests/GuildLeves and to simply explore some of the settlements and noticed how much of a pain it is to return back to town after doing a leve or behest because it automatically sets the camp as your home point.

My proposal is to have the option to freely choose which Aetheryte we want as our home point and once set this does not automatically change unless the player chooses to. When you die doing leves, you would get the option to return to the aetheryte you last touched (the camp you started the leve at) or your Home Point. Return on the other hand will always teleport you back to your Home Point when your alive. The Option to choose your home point is in most MMOs;

Aion for explain has a system similar to what i proposed, you can set Home Point at a Obelisk, you also have the option to use Kisks in the world. Kisks are like mini Obelisk that you carry around and can use in certain places. Using a Kisk spawns a mini Obelisk and allows you to set that position as a 2nd Home Point for a period of time and should you die, you have the option to return to the kisk or to the Obelisk. Using the Return spell on the other hand will always return you to the Obelisk.

Personally i'm not fond of this automatic Home Point system that currently exists in the game. While i don't expect anything like Aion where you can carry around a mini Aetherye, i would like the option to Choose where my Home Point is and not have it changed unless i choose to, since the current system is a waste. Most of the R40, R50 camps are really far away from town too so its just a waste of anima to port or a waste of time to run back.

I agree. Please let us choose a homepoint that can't be changing simply by touching another crystal. Instead of automatically changing, I'd like to see an option to change your homepoint to the current location/keep existing homepoint. I would not mind at all if you have to physically touch the crystal to reset the homepoint (as opposed to choosing it from anywhere using a menu).

Hell yea bump this... we need this

Totally need.

I'll be honest, I didn't a single post lol


/agreed

I want this too. Also being able to browse a bazaar while moving would be great. Can't count how many I haven't looked at just because I knew I would stop running if I did.

bump. kinda got pushed down to 3rd page with all the threads that started when patch came live.

With the reduced cost of the return function, this would be a very ideal function that would ease the stress of anima costs. +1 from me. They should call it a "Home Point" and make the lesser version that moves around "Return Point".

I agree but i think it should be an return point and home point.

For instance if i were to die i could chose my HP or RP but RP's can be the way they are now last crystal you touch you can warp there but for HP you can set it anywhere you like, in town, crystal or node. also when you die you chose to go to HP or return point

Agreed! ..
