    New City Aetheryte shards confusing

    i wish you would make it so you can click on the aetheryte shard..to tele.. the name are confusing.. cuss for each shard there could be 3+ name it could be..
    or add a tag on the map so you know what they named it

    take the pic below... there are 5 names it could be.. and they choose to name it "the forgotten knight" wheres the logic? a tag beside the shard would be helpful. when you hover your mouse over it it just says aetheryte shard, what about have the name of it?

    I totally for this one name, I thought the Forum was a better name than the tavern. Then, I realise that the tavern is like the adventurers' guild and so they chose this name.

    Yeah they had to change many of the names way back in 2.? Something because no one knew where they were going. And then they did it again with this patch. Some of them are named after something that's not even near it.

    I find this one pretty clear. Yes the Aetheryte is not directly next to the pub but when ever I need to visit the pub, which is quite often, I would use that Aetheryte and not any others even if it's not named that way. After the 3rd day, I've already gotten used to all the Aethrytes in Ishgard and none of this is any problem.

    Plus the pub is like less than 5 seconds walk away from the Aetheryte so it is close to it. When I go to use this Aetheryte for things other than the pub, I think "Where is this place near? Oh the pub, so I'll use the pub Aetheryte."

    I have to agree, the naming of the aetherytes in Ishgard (City) are pretty random and I still find myself needing a few tries to get to somewhere, unless it's the Skysteel Manufactory or Main Aetheryte.

    Greetings,

    The development team is currently working on a feature that will allow you to check the name of each Aethernet location from the map.

    They received the same feedback about nodes way early on in ARR. How did they go and make the SAME mistake again?

    I'll never understand why you can't mouse over the aetheryte shards on the map and have the name of them come up.

    That would have solved *everything*.

    I really wish that it opened a map when you right click on the shard, and then like the aetherytes on our regular maps, you could click the shard/aetheryte that you want to port to. This goes for the chocobo porter as well.

    This is a standard feature in modern MMOs for fast travel, because it makes more sense than a list of names that we may or may not be familiar with.
