Adding West/North/East/etc. to locations during teleport

[Arcaloid]

I had to teleport to five different locations before finding a specific area and ended up wasting a good bit of gil (well, a good bit in teleportation fees anyway).

Not to against your suggestion, but you should really check the location on the map after your first incorrect teleport. But I more wish they can put the location name in the city Aetheryte teleport, so I know the blue gate in Gridania will lead me to Centre Shroud etc.

I seem to recall them eventually planning to implement a "click on the map to teleport" feature or similar..

This would also be enough.

Whatever happened to people committing a simple list of type <hamlet name - map name> to memory?
Oh right. Computers happened.

You'd think people would easily memorize this kind of stuff. I rarely even use the teleport spell and know where each camp is located.

Many people are visual learners, and to those of us who are, words on a page generally mean very little without diagrams to back them up. It's extremely hard for me to visualize where locations in-game are when going off a string of words, but if you toss a map at me, I'll know exactly where something is. What's so wrong with having the teleport system (and the aethernet system in towns) function as a map rather than in list form?

No need for SE to waste time and money making a change for something that is working just fine.

That whole 5 minutes and like $3 it would take to implement a quality of life improvement that benefits everyone.

Instead of wasting your gil trying to "guess" and then whining about it, how about you pull out your map? There's a "zoom out" button and a "world map" button in the upper left corner. If you can't remember the name of the correct camp crystal, just check the map.


Though they should do this for the Aethernet in cities. It was in for Limsa and Grindania for awhile in beta (the gate names displayed the zone they linked to in the actual aethernet window). I have no idea why they removed it, since that was a pretty stupid change.

im getting better at remembering where places are the more i play. i make mistakes now and then but meh, i can deal with it.

Ideally, the teleport menu would actually be a map with different locations you can click on. >_< It'd be a million times more user friendly.

It'd also be slow as shit to do with a pad.

I think it'd make things waaaayyyy simpler if when you hit the teleport button and you see the list of destinations, it would say the name of what zone the aetheryte's in next to the name of the camp, in parentheses. For example, Bentbranch Meadows (Central Shroud). It would make things much easier, don't even have to open the map at all. Could also use this strategy to solve the aethernet problem; have the name of the zone the destination is, in parentheses next to the destination name.

I swear it used to tell you what zone was what in Beta Phase 3

Yeah I believe it did as well, but only for Gridania related teleports (well two of them, which were the gates I believe.) Wonder why they removed em?
