minimap-based travel

[mikal1129]

i read the post about ways to reduce server load and read about how a keystroke travel method might cause a spike. in response i thought that increasing the travel range of 1 click would have the opposite effect. then i thought about how in Runescape, one can travel by clicking on the minimap, which is much farther than clicking on the screen.

can we make a similar system of minimap movement in this game??

Nice idea but they need to give us improved pathfinding first or you would still bump and get suck on stump/trees/rocks even if you click on mini-map to move.

true for most terrain i admit now that it's noted, there are some situations in which that isn't as big an issue (cleared land, rivers, some other terrains that have no trees/rocks/built items)

Such as villages, roads and highways.

This isn't a full remedy, but if you aren't using one of the clients with custom resolutions, (ie. Pacho's or Gilbertus') I would suggest doing so. It allows you to expand the screened in game area so you can see and click farther away. I've found it useful (and for several other reasons, I might add).

For example:
Regular client.




Gilbertus' fullscreen.
