Using Aetherytes directly from the map

[Linkurrra]

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?

::Edit:: Bah! didn't see Ogre's post before submitting it. My method for navigating the map still stands though.

Love the idea!

I would take it a step further make it so you can browse the maps by not just using the menu system, but also by clicking on the junction nodes for each zone to progress to the next map.

It was difficult in 1.0 to not only read the maps Eorzean font, but to remember what area you were in. The minimap did not say where you was and you constantly had to refer to the map to get your bearings and it took up the entire screen!

The Producer Live video at least showed us that it no longer takes up the entire screen and could be resized and be present while you play!

If we could follow the map and click on the sections where one map traverses to the next and the next map is displayed without browsing through the menu system. It would be much easier to learn the layout!

The ability to zoom out and show the entire world would be handy too! Make it like Google maps!

Looks like there will be a veil to obscure unexplored areas to. So if I haven't been there I can't see it! As long as they don't make it like XI where I have to find the NPC that sells the map to that area before I can explore it I will be fine! Man, was that a pain in the butt!
