More flight destinations

Hello all, I'm posting this suggestion in order for the people walking from and to the chapter 8 and 9 influence areas.

There's already few few flight masters available in both Nordland Empire chapter 4 and chapter 8, ytet both Flight masters can only be used to fly to any other zone available, while we can't fly to them there from any other point... Maybe make these flight masters available to us so we can avoid the lengthy walk across half of Ostland and gain easier access to Norsca? ^^

Of course they can also add a Flight Master to Destro's chapter 8 to balance things out. Maybe one in Norsca chapter 2 as well.

more than add other fly master, starter zone shoudl have one for start! atm they have none, if someone would skip pve and go directly to rvr it have to do all by foot. And it's a logn way, also you can easily die just for travell. The menu for starter zone in fly master map si also alredy present in client so it should be easy to add that way.

We have mounts for a reason too, eh?

Yea it should. It didn't have to be right where the toon is born. Just slightly further down the road like for Chaos, it should be Sorcerer's Axiom.

The thing that bothers me for both factions is needing to use /stuck and having half a map of T1 to meander across if your Book is on cooldown. Adding a new flightmaster might be problematic as it would have to tie into a couple of the map systems.

Why aren't we thinking with Portals?

You can reset your BoB by relogging real quick, btw. To be honest, /stuck should bring you to your bind point by default.
Also, adding new flight masters isn't too difficult I believe, all it takes it an NPC with a certain waypoint property that all other flight masters recognise. Also of course it needs the loaded data from every other waypoint you can travel to.

As of the next patch, relogging into a scenario will kick you to your binding point instead of the /stuck point.

I'm currently rewriting /stuck to match live.
