Zone transitions and shortcut points

[BreathlessTao]

it has been annoying for a while (hello, Syrcus Tower and Lost City of Amdapor), but in light of just having done Fractal Continuum, I feel like this needs attention. it doesn't necessarily only applies to dungeons, but since it's an issue mostly in those, I'm putting it here.

Dear Team, please stop designing dungeons/raids/instances (and in general, zones) where the teleport points and shortcut drop-offs are nothing but a room with a few steps to a teleporter or some such mechanic that initiates another loading screen, right after one disappears.

I don't know why there is a need for this. I don't know why nobody notices how bad this is - or why nobody seems to feel like this is bad. But really, after a wipe, reviving in a room for the only purpose to run to a teleporter a few steps in front of us, then to arrive at another room with another teleporter to touch, to even have to run miles after that... Really. Just no.

Please eliminate the need for unnecessary loading screens. It's not cool.

Thank you.



AND FOR THE LOVE OF MENPHINA, REMOVE THE POST CHARACTER LIMIT ALREADY. This isn't bloody Twitter.

Last Shortcut in Fractal Continuum is a lie. xD

They really need to make shortcuts in the actual boss room when you are on the boss. The amount of times I join a run in progress of Fractal last boss and have to run a marathon to get there....

lmao this at this. so freaking true! my first time using it... i use the shortcut got sent to a teleporter. when it sent me through i am like, 'wait... something seems strangely familiar here.'. either way, i go through the second teleporter. then was curious as to where that left jump pad went, it nicely sent me directly to the boss... where ALL 3 of the other players were waiting for me. i am like, "wait what!? i took the bleeding shortcut and never seen anyone pass me... how the HELL am i the last one here?" ... "you took the shortcut". TROLOL *FACEPALM*

i hope maybe Square Enix will improve at least this one particular shortcut.
