Aether Currents moved

[Masekase_Hurricane]

I didn't take any notice of the zone while I was looking for the currents. Now once I unlocked flying in the zone I had a look around to complete the map. But too be honest as much as the zones look nice that's it.The zones actually play a minimal amount in the game, as it is all Duty Finder and instance content. Majority oof players are rushing through zones so they can actually unlock content.

Now if SE decided to start actually giving us some decent content that is not fetch quests or FATE grinds in open areas then yes maybe they would be worth exploring.

Also I didn't need an additional option to explore pre Aether Current we had Fishing, Mining, Gathering, Grinding FATES, Unlocking Teleport, Side quests, completing map and Sightseeing to name a few.

So can you tell me why we needed an additional option to explore the area?

Don't worry in 4.0 all currents will be unlocked and all 4.0 zones won't need any limitations to fly or swim(possibly). Please look forward to it!

I'm leveling an alt to refresh myself on the early story bits. I'm more disappointed with the maps filling out the moment you enter the zone.

This was a sad day. Wandering around, trying to find your way to the next obscured map portion and revealing everything bit by bit was fun, for me anyway! Now, you enter a new zone and bam, here's your map. It also means that, in the future, SE won't be able to spring surprise terrain features on us unless they deliberately omit them from the maps. Like, betcha didn't know there was a CASTLE behind this mountain! Actually yeah, I did know, it's right there on the map.

If there was any issue with the previous map process, it was the whole deal with how revealing map pieces awarded you exp, and that exp reward was larger the higher level you were. It made folks reluctant to explore, because they wanted to save that map exp for when they were higher levels. We don't nee mechanics that discourage exploration!

I'll will admit that the Diadem map was pretty annoying, even with my love of exploration. Having to track down all those tiny chunks of map where the starting islands were. Blargh.

If you want an easy game go play dcuo stop spoon feeding new players

[CelestePinke]

Yes,yes, it was in the patch notes. Ok , I get SE wants to please everyone. I looked none of the locations up online for my main character. My friend and I used the compass only. As I said before, it's just a rant. Sadly the lazy players get say too, so cheer up if you just can't be bothered to check out everything. There is a lot of hard work put into this game and the people who skip stuff miss lots.

The challenge was what made it fun and they took it away

What challenge?

Am I the only one who just kept clicking the compass ad nauseum, followed the direction and ran around without interacting with anything?

I think that's what you were supposed to do.
