Thingwall discovery status information availability

[vatas]

Thingwall markers are added to the player maps independent of character or even account. You can technically download and import a .hmap file, containing all Thingwall markers, before "discovering" a single Thingwall on any character.

Obviously character-specific maps aren't the solution, but the current system will inevitably lead to players asking themselves "has this specific character discovered this specific Thingwall?"

Currently, the only way to be sure is to visit Thingwall again or go to adjacent Thingwall (or chain of connected ones) and check if you can travel to it from there.

Previously tried to make this point here.

(This OP has been edited to communicate the issue better.)

I gonna give this a +1
Having a list of all thingwalls would be nice.

[vatas]

Having to externally/manually track in-game variables BAD
Having to do that on multiple different characters, each having their own variation, WORSE

[vatas]

As a stop-gap, could we at least get a list somewhere, of Thingwalls that a specific character knows (that would need to be cross-referenced manually.)

There is LITERALLY no way to check that in-game other than" double-discovering" it or going to an adjacent Thingwall to see if you can travel to it. (Granted, you can "preview travel" a long chain without actually spending any TW.)

I'd even take it being displayed on the account page on characters since that would take no interface work.

Same.

just remove thingwalls, people dont need and shouldnt be able to cross continents in 3 mouseclicks from there base,
at this point the only reason to use any other method of travel is to discover the thingwalls or if you want to pick mussels on the way,
i am living farther away from the people living at the far end of my province than i do to people living close to an thingwall 2 continents over,

Easy: make them appear on your map only if attuned to.

To say this would be "less-than-optimal" solution would be an understatement.

If somehow there could be different icons for Thingwalls depending on whether character is attuned to it, or not, I would happily take that.

One solution I offered was a tooltip with red "Not visited" or green "Visited" -text because I assumed that this would be easier to implement.

(Thingwall discoveries are character specific, map is account-wide.)

must be toned to be useful, but my solution pointed to something similar: map stuff have names, just add attuned after name, or change icon, different colour, there are many ways but the point is that is easy to code by using stuff already in game, so that won't take much time to make.
