Maps redesing for 2.0... cities too?!

I cannot follow your reasoning regarding these cities needing to be segmented into zones. A loading screen would just make navigation slower. lol.

Not really, since loading is only slow to some people now because their PCs can't fully handle this game, I noticed what takes me up to 5 seconds to 'zone' from teleport, takes some people a good 2 minutes. (I actually timed it.)

Yes but why would a city be zoned? This game can already handle a city + enormous map without any zone lines. So I don't follow your reasoning, unless it's to intentionally slow people down with unnecessary loading times.

It's happening tho'. All maps will go back to zones like in XI with loading screens, that's what they calim in the 2.0 documents at least. They said it's to have more diverse and dynamic maps, yet other MMO got that and they got seemless maps too..... I guess it's a graphics thing, other mmos are not on the same graphical level as XIV.
