Thread: Why 2.0 maps will be instantly opened now?

I didn't really like having to map the areas myself. I still have some areas not fully mapped as no quests took me to the area and I don't really care about finishing it.

It will make it easier for the new players to get around if they can see the whole map at once when they enter the zone which I am all for.

This seems like an unnecessary change. If I remember right, the maps still show quest markers and objective locations before they are filled out so it's not like new players have no idea which way to go.

I really enjoy filling out maps myself. I remember hitting the level 46-49 story jump back in ARR and running around Eorzea filling out all the maps for bonus exp.

Just another excuse to help new players not understand something. Next when they get to HW maps they are gonna complain because it's not fully opened, can't wait!

When is the new player hold my hand crap gonna end!!!!

Well by now we know SE's idea of exploration is to kill dinos for 90 minutes.
Unlocking a map the normal way would be too exciting for us to handle.

Also its not like you can actually find interesting things there.

Honestly, I think they're just starting to do things to streamline the MSQ with an eye toward the 4.0 expansion. *shrugs*

I think some people are really overreacting to what is ultimately a very small change.

Exploration is one of the few Joys. Oh well scrap it took someone more 5han 10 seconds to figure out.

STREAMLIIIIIINE.
