Guild Wars 2

With Bloodstone Fen and Ember Bay, much more than in the HoT maps, Leyline routes are some of the most vital ways to travel. The WPs tend to be further away from where you want to go, and even with Magma Canons unlocked, those don’t get you everywhere. The problem is, the Leylines are not on the maps, so if you don’t know where they are, you don’t know what to head for when you want to get to a boss fight in a hurry. They need to put the Leylines on the maps, ideally with little arrows showing direction, like they do with Wallows/Magma.

should add them to all older maps.

I just meant that they should be visible on the actual overhead map, not that they should add more leylines to the physical spaces. Although, they could certainly do that if they felt like it, maybe link up those Leyline event nodes scattered around several zones or something.

I don’t think this’ll happen. Mostly because I think ArenaNet wants us to explore to find the ley lines to take advantage of them. Plus, how would you indicate the direction of flow? Maybe if an industrious asura gives us a new high-tech map which could detect the leyline flows, but on a static map, it would just get messy.

Plus, some of us still don’t have leyline gliding and it’s not like it’s one of the earlier abilities like the wallows are.

Well, I wouldn’t ask, but we already have the Molten Tubes and the Wallows that appear on the map with little arrows indicating their direction (and hooray for that). I like exploring and all, but I can’t keep track of where every single leyline track starts and stops, they are all over the place on this map, and vital to navigating it efficiently given how many areas are a 2-4 minute jog from the nearest WP. This isn’t like most maps where there are dozens of WPs, and it’s not like Bloodstone Fen where you have Ride the Leylines to zip along, so easy access to the existing Leylines is vital.

And as for direction of flow, that’s easy, they’d just draw a thin blue line tracing it’s route, then put a little arrow of some kind in the middle pointing in the direction of travel.

Plus, some of us still don’t have leyline gliding and it’s not like it’s one of the earlier abilities like the wallows are.

Man, I had Leyline gliding almost a year ago, and that was before Bloodstone Fen and Ember Bay came out with their freely-flowing XP, and their “permanently boost XP up to three times” buffs. I suggest you make the investment if you haven’t already, because Leylines are awesome.
