Will we enter market, airship ports and headquarters through doors, or through menus?

[Rutelor]

One of the design aspects that really bothers me, as I know bothers many others in the community, is the menu-to-enter-a-place system.

I know most of the map redesign will affect the lands outside of cities, but... How many of you out there agree with me when I ask that, if the developers are going to fix one aspect of the cites in version 2, that aspect be the elimination of all menu entrances to sectors of the city? Perhaps we could say it's not the highest of priorities, but it frankly affects my feeling of the environment an awful lot.

We were told, I think by the previous development team, that the menus would be temporary. We (or at least I) would like to know if that statement still stands.

I think it definitely should. What about you?

Ah, and another thing: It would be much nicer if the inter-city teleporters displayed a spell effect of some sort, like all other teleporting in the game does.

menus are kinda needed atm they would have to make areas as a whole to be able to enter MW or GC and the other areas right now and if 2.0 dont do much to the citys we might have to enter other zones from the same area again.

Please notice I did mention version 2.0. I wasn't talking about the current version.

I hope I don't have to stand infront of the same door to enter 12 different areas.

The only one that is understandably instanced is the Market wards.

They've already said they were going to do this. Months ago.

I was not aware of this statement. Do you care to quote?

Why airship port?
Last time I visited Gridania airport there was no menu ^^

And for the other airship port you enter the lift and press the right button. Don't know if they can do this without a menu where you choose which floor you want.
Or they can build some stairs.

In Ul'dah, i always thought those stairs leading up near the Alchemist Guild would go to the airship dock. I wonder if that was the original intent, and in their haste to implment them made them the way they are now?

Its possible. Every MMO not made by Square Enix has accomplished it.

I'm all for doors and whatnot up to a point. I just don't want to see the crowded PC killer when you have like 200 people all hanging out in the same 10 yalm area.
