It'll be interesting to see how it affects it. I'm sure later on, like many people have said, once roads and waterways are established, it'll help people get back in contact with their groups. This means death will be a fairly large hindrance early/mid game.

Without a hs will there be a system like with hearth fires and crossroads in the current Haven where you can go through gates without needing a key? I guess its fine if there isn't, it is a bit unrealistic and overly safe to have a system like that where you don't risk a key.

so, without hearth secret i also wont be able to party my friends when we spawn to know their location?

Well, we haven't really decided on the exact mechanics; it's quite possible that hearth secrets per se will remain so that you can kin and possibly also form a party with people, but in the case of the latter, there will at least not be any long-distance party arrows.

And no walking in their direction when I click their party portrait, I take it?

I'm sure, because there is no point of removing party arrow if they implemented that.

I'm ok with this. Forming a party or group and being able to communicate are wonderful things. I don't mind losing the guide arrow.
