More Detailed Server Crossing Message

[Shads 170]

[17:16:44] You will soon leave this island, and end up at another island.

 

I suggest it is made to say which server you're heading for, every time I travel I check and double check that I'm going the right direction I'm going to make sure I don't go to chaos instead of Deli, meaning I have to moor and unmoor the boat (gets annoying).

 

Can't see many people being against this seeing as it only benefits us, can't see it affecting your time in wurm in a negative way

Don't forget to add the writ/deed thing warning.

When sailing up the western coasts of the chaos connected servers I use the land to guide me in which direction I am supposed to be heading.

 

I believe the messages are intentionally vague so as to give the idea of exploration. Until you know which server is next you do not know which server is next. As would be the case when sailing in the past, how do you think Columbus found the Americas thinking he hit India.

 

I think it should stay as it is as it adds some of the realism which is what keeps me playing this game and makes it entertaining for me.

With sooo many links to comunity maps, and the future IG maps. The argument of exploration it's kinda... meh.

[TechnoBear 10]

But if somebody wishes to truly explore they can ignore the community maps and the future in game maps if they want to. To use your own argument to strengthen mine, if I may, with the community maps and future in game maps why do you need to be told which server you are travelling to?

 

If the issue is that you are not orientated and you wish to know where you are going, you can use the maps and align yourself with the appropriate coastline. There is a lot of water between the server border and the land.

You can ignore the ingame message too:

1. Head to server border

Ignore even tab

????

Profit!

I guess all I am saying is that I see no justification for this change. I cast my vote, and as much as I appreciate this debate I feel both sides have made their points and there is no longer reason to continue this, if others can come up with a reason this may be beneficial I am always happy to consider and if necessary change my opinion when presented with irrefutable facts.

 

I appreciate your opinion and do understand why you have it however, I am afraid, I do not see reasoning for this to be applied. If your issue is that you keep crossing borders you do not wish to cross, perhaps you should do a little more work on your own orientation and navigation.

Several times now I've sailed from inde to exo and back, every single time I sail along the coastline, sometimes I hit chaos instead of deli/inde would be nice to not risk getting attacked while sailing around on freedom

Defineteley +1

 

I ended up on Chaos so many times. Extremely annoying!

Yes, yes you are

 

No but seriously, it's fine if I intend to go to chaos, but when I'm sailing back to inde then pop into chaos by accident, it's frustrating
