Guild Wars 2

One of the selling points of the passes such as the Lava Lounge Pass, Captain’s Airship Pass, etc. is “Quick Travel to All Cities”. The one I use most at the moment is the Lava Lounge Pass. I do appreciate the city travel feature, but when I’m wanting to get to my destination quickly, I sometimes don’t want to use the Pass, wait for the map load of Ember Bay, talk to NPC, then wait for the map load of the city I’m going to.

I’d like to suggest adding a right-click menu option for the Passes that offers one-click travel to the major cities. So for example if I double-click the Lava Lounge Pass it will still take me to the Lava Lounge. But if I right-click the Pass, I’ll have a menu to travel directly to Black Citadel, The Grove, Lion’s Arch, etc.

This would save on the need to load two maps to city travel via the Pass.

But you can just waypoint over to a city.

Is this an april fools thing?

Honestly, with some of the threads I’ve read lately, I can’t tell with this one.

It’s a real suggestion. The Passes offer “Quick Travel to All Cities” as one of their selling points to avoid the waypoint fee. But that convenience is slightly reduced by the need to load two maps to utilize it. Adding the right-click option would make the value of “Quick Travel to All Cities” more compelling and more frequently utilized.

Or you can just buy the Town Portal scrolls from the Trading Post, which already provide that functionality.

True, but the Passes are “for those who enjoy the ultimate convenience”. I was just offering a suggestion to help with that. Quick city travel is part of their core functionality, but it’s a bit hampered by the two-map-load. I felt the right-click option would help address that.

Isn’t the ultimate convenience the lounge’s themselves?

Isn’t the ultimate convenience the lounge’s themselves?

Mostly, yes. Here’s the feature list from the wiki page for the Lava Lounge Pass:

• Quick Travel to All Cities
• Crafting Stations
• Bank and Guild Bank Access
• Mystic Forge
• Merchants
• And more! All within easy reach, for those who enjoy the ultimate convenience.

I’m a frequent user of the Lava Lounge Pass, and you’re correct even without the quick travel to all cities feature it’s still a great convenience bundle. My point is simply that because of the two-map-load, the “Quick Travel to All Cities” really isn’t that quick. I only really use it if I was already in the Lava Lounge for some other reason and my next destination is one of the cities. But if I’m somewhere else in Tyria and want to go to one of the cities, it isn’t really that convenient to use the Pass. I’ll just waypoint to the city since that’s faster. But if this thread’s suggestion was implemented, I would start using the pass for “Quick Travel to All Cities”.

I think the ‘Quick Travel to All Cities’ is a feature of the actual Lounge/Terrace/etc., rather than the Pass. I mean, there is no Merchant available from the Pass, nor Mystic Forge, nor Crafting Stations, etc. The Pass allows one to access said convenience, not provide it.

It would be nice to have access to all those convenient features from just anywhere, but unlikely to appear, I feel.

Good luck.
