This game is in desperate need of graveyards/rez points

I don't think it will be an issue now since I just got Vercure. But RDMs can be quite squishy in the level 50s range.

And graveyards are a mechanic in games like WoW, where when you die, you rez at a nearby graveyard not too far from where you died. There are usually multiple graveyards in a zone. All MMOs have something similar, they just call it different things. In SWTOR for example, they're called Medcenters. They are player spawn points.

Well...almost all zones. There is one that has no Aetheryte that comes to mind(Hinterlands). Not sure if there are any others aside from second map of a city(which has mini aetherytes) and residential districts.

That was more due to unforeseen design changes, Idyllshire was originally going to be like Revenant's Toll, part of Hinterlands, but they decided to cut it off and make it its own instance to distribute server load better, so it ended with Hinterlands having no aetheryte.

Eh. That one's tucked away in Idyllshire because of lore reasons/city abandonment by past denizens. Quick knockout leading to a retainer check-in and then out you go again. Fun times XD

In OP's defense, the aetherytes in Heavensward were really poorly placed. CWH and Azys Lla have them in the extreme corners of the maps, Sea of Clouds and Dravanian Forelands have two but aren't really central, and Dravanian Hinterlands doesn't even have one at all. The problem gets a lot better when you can fly, but if you die in Lost Gnath during the main story before you have flight you have to run from Tailfeather all the way north and around to get back in. Player graveyards don't really make sense in the lore, since we're essentially immortal demigods, but more convenient access points would be nice.

Was that what it was? I hardly remember that. Guess my previous post is moot then. Though I'm not surprised since Idyllshire is bigger than Revenant's Toll to warrant a cutoff for server reasons.

Really though?

It only takes 60 seconds [Edit: 73 seconds] on a Chocobo to get back there from Tailfeather.

It's not like you have to wait 15 minutes for an Airship in Jeuno, navigate a maze-like Jungle for 10 minutes, and then Sneak + Invis your way through Volcano mobs that can't be solo'd.

I see someone remembers the absolutely joy that is the Yuhtunga and Yhoator Jungles...

Maybe the zone has changed since you went through it. But it takes way longer than 60 seconds to get back that village from Tailfeather.

That is from cataclysm onward, before that wow GYs were not as plentyful like western plaguelands for horde characters it would teleport you to the bulwark no matter where you died.

That is why you set your Home Point in Kazham lol. I miss those days lol. Gobby Smithies coming in to rekt your shite. Don't AoE with Lizzies right next to you.

Honestly, those Jungles became very easy to navigate once you knew how the end points connect.
