This thread is not indented to be a complaint about the inability to find people who are partied at a distance.
I am am trying to ask a legitimate question of how anybody is actually supposed to find anything ever. Without resorting to external mapping programs, is there actually any way of finding some place without wondering randomly for hours? In the past we could use parties, or teleport to villages. but, those ways have been removed. Does anybody have any idea of what was added to the game to replace these mechanics?
Has the in game mapping system been upgraded to the point where it is not a complete waste of time?
Are we, the players, supposed to build roads everywhere?
Will there be some late game system to locate villages or people?
Did Jorb and loftar just expect somebody to build a client that will map the world for everyone?
Being able to locate BOTH people AND PLACES has been critical for a lot of late game interactions. If we are only able to find villages how the vigilantes find the poor noobs begging for justice on the forums? I know for a lot of people the QQ stories on the forums are the best part of the game.
Being a lost little hearthing all by yourself is fun in the beginning, but how can people even possible trade or ask for any kind of help in the current system?
