Using Aetherytes directly from the map

[Gokulo]

This is an idea I thought of just now when watching the translated letter and remembering how I were playing GW2 this weekend.

Would it maybe be possible to add the option to click on the Aetheryt you want to teleport to in the map menu. I thought it would be a pretty cool and useful little feature. Especially since sometimes, when playing 1.0 I was often thinking - I need to teleport to the Camp east of Ul'dah, but very often confusing Horizon and Drybone so I had to close the teleport menu and open the map to make sure.

So, what do you guys think?

IF the aether system is the same from 1.0 then a map system would be convenient, going through silly menus at least on pc is annoying. A tree like system on the side of the map for the ps3 might be better (when using controller).

I hope aetherpoints are nerfed though, the world is so small when you can teleport anywhere at anytime.

Long as it's heavily limited, sure..they may as well have kept the same world design if we're going to teleport anywhere and everywhere.

We won't be exploring or caring, so why redesign the maps? xD

Though, all new MMOs on the F2P side has auto-routing and teleports everywhere...so meh, we're beyond convenience and just want to be lazy fucks.

Wow....

They are revamping the menu system so I'm not sure how teleporting from the map, will compare to the new menu. I think there should be multiple ways of teleporting.

That's the worst part about A Realm Reborn...mandatory teleporting!

In all honesty, I think the teleport system we had in 1.0 was perfect, aside from not actually having to run to the Aetheryte/Gate for the first time. Lower the amount of anima given out during Hamlet and it'll make teleporting feel limited again. I never understood why having the option to move around quickly is such a bad thing. If you don't want to use it, don't use it. I chocobo everywhere unless I have to be somewhere quickly. Not a single part of my game was affected by someone using their anima to teleport themselves around.

sure it did, it contributed to the number of people to play with in game after all of the latest content was finished.

Ignoring the existance of masochistic players that believe that if it doesn't takes you three hours to get from the city to the first aetheryte camp...
I actually really do hope they implement that and... Memory tells me that they are at least thinking about it, it's an easier system to use than the current million screens requires for teleporting.

Ignoring the inane psychobabble of a player who relies on absurd hyperbole to bolster a weak argument...

Tell me, Skies, did it take you "three hours" to run from the city to your first aetheryte camp? Did it take even 10 minutes? 5? Answer the question directly and honestly, please.

That said, I actually would prefer having them displayed on the map (only the ones you've unlocked), as it would give a better visual reference of where you need to go until you're more familiar with the world layout, have the locations memorized, etc.

There's nothing wrong with having teleports chosen from the world map, just as long as you've already been to and unlocked that teleport location, which should take long enough, and provide enough challenge to make the faster/easier travel obtained by unlocking a new location that much more valuable.

lol lets make every travel in 2.0 a fellowship of the ring walk XD!!

What make a map instead of a menu the teleport system a "fellowship of the ring walk"?
Map and menu do the same, it is just the visual.
