Hey all,

I wrote an support ticket about this, but as response they said to me to post it in the forums as suggestions. So hereby.

I’d like to have the Havoc’s Heir airship moved to Lion’s Arch, or any other “Main City” in the future to come by.

I don’t like using my Pass at this moment, as it puts me in an near dead zone, even with the megaserver I feel I’m being cut off from my home server.
I personally really enjoy Map chat and the Homeserver community, which you’ll find in biggest numbers in the “Main City” aka Lion’s Arch at the moment.

I love the ship, but the fact it’s not in Lion’s Arch has made it completely useless for me. I prefer just to waypoint to LA then I’m stuck in an dead zone without my homeserver or community.

I did not pay 1000 gems for this, and with this change the pass is a waste of money to me

In short:
Please move the Havoc’s Heir airship to the “Main City” so people can still connect with their Homeserver / Community and other social interactions which occur most in the “Main City”.

Instead of relocating it they could add Lion’s Arch as a travel option to the Helmsman. Personally I would find that to be a neat solution to the thing.

An travel option wouldn’t solve my problem, as I don’t have any problems with the Waypoint costs…

and for loading times, I’ve got an SSD to burn those away <3

I also have the pass and I’ve noticed no difference. I would WP from the ship to wherever I needed to go anyway.

I, and I assume most everyone else, who bought these tickets did so because of the convenience of warping to a spot that had all crafts, bank, TP, MF, laurel, vendors, etc. in one spot.

Sounds like you bought the ticket for a side feature rather than its intended use (convenience — in fact I think the tool tip even calls it the ultimate convenience). IMO it was worth the 1000 gems. Heck I even got one for my GF. It’s great!

It’s free travel to a hub with all amenities, from anywhere!

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….

Royal terrace master race.

:D.

But really I like the ship but the tickets are on my commoner humans because they can’t fit into the luxury of royal terrace.

None of my characters are allowed in the royal terrace. Not since the incident….

Airship is all I’ve got!

Frankly I wouldn’t ever bought this pass if it wasn’t in Vigil keep aka Main City at that moment…

I love the ultimate convenience – It was worth every penny, untill it excluded me from my server :’(

The DR Pass lets you exit to Divinity’s Reach or use a portal to travel to other cities. The Airship Pass should offer the same services since it costs the same.

Please note my complaint is not about the free traveling

My complaint is that whenever I use my ticket I’m teleported to a zone that’s not the main city, out of my servers community and social interaction.

I bought the ticket when it was in the Main City, now it’s into a dead zone.
Please move my Ship into the Main City…

You aren’t paying for the social aspect, but rather the convenience of instant travel to a unique location filled with vendors.

Personally, I love the peace and quiet up in the air. Please Anet, don’t move the Airship. There’s no reason to.

So basicly everyone who likes the peace and quiet that they missed due to the megaserver is just gonna say the exact opposite because you love your peace and quiet and feel that’s more important then my loss of communication to my community and homeserver

Meanies!

In that case please blow op LA once more and move the Main City back to Vigil keep as it was when everybody bought the pass

I agree that the Airship should be moved. It could replace the one that’s been hovering over LA. Then it should be updated so that players exit to LA and not a dead zone so they can socialize as much as they want.

My point was that the pass to Divinity’s Reach also offers a portal for travel to other cities. So if the Airship is being hauled to LA then it could also be updated to include the same service. Even if it’s not moved then it needs a portal to other cities like the one in DR.

The Airship does have a portal to other cities. Speak to the Helmsman.

Floating above the heads of unwashed masses is the main attraction of the airship.

Not having to listen to their “conversation” is an added advantage.

Going to the airship is like going to a penthouse party at the top of a luxury skyrise. It’s there so you don’t have to mingle with the peasants down below.

I agree with OP. I also bought the airship pass when it was in the main hub of the game, thinking it would move (it IS an airship) to LA once it became the main hub of the game. I mean why else would they make it an airship?

I enjoyed keeping up to date with chat, most of it is idle chatter, but I’ve picked up really great tips now and then from it.

To those of you don’t want to listen to map chat, you can easily just uncheck it or create a new chat tab and uncheck it there to easily cycle through checked and unchecked.

But for those of us who bought the ticket thinking it would remain in the main hub of the game, there is no easy fix for us.

And btw, please don’t think we were dumb enough that that was the ONLY reason we bought the pass. Obviously we bought the pass for the convenience of having everything so close together, but for many of us the added benefit of free WP to main cities and being in the main gathering map for the whole game were also pretty big draws.
