The points you bring up here about the running is not something that I have any bigger problems with. But!
I don't like having bonfire island as the default map at all.. And there's several reasons to it. I'm actually sortof annoyed by it.
Lets get things straight first, I do not mind the having to reset the homepoint that much, neither do I mind the running or the looks of bonfire, it works ok.
But bonfire, and the general layout of reaching the other maps in the game right now, it's rather... bad if you ask me. Sure, something to put in consideration is that the maps were probably rushed aswell, and that they aren't supposed to have alot of crap loaded into them, but still.. It could have been done so much better in my eyes.
I shouldn't probably mirror all the old IT and how it used to be, but that default map there, it was something that should've been used as a frame for a new FH Default map to be honest even though it was simple.
It was a little more area to move on since it wasn't just a round island, there was more height differences, and a more complicated heightmap in general with small bumps every here and there, hills, ditches and not many, but nicely placed trees and shrubs. Even 1 small waterfall. It was easier to reach other maps just because of more portals, and the need of a "fast travel function" wasn't even big then.
Bonfire is round and smaller, it does pretty much just have one hill with a den ontop, it's not as intresting nor is it fun to be there a longer time. The 1 way out of bonfire is also "sortof" a minus. Alternitives is never wrong.
I'm rather positive if someone just put down some time on making a lil bigger default map with atleast 3 paths to choose to leave from, some more smaller hills, bumps, well placed trees n shrubs, ditches etc. It would give the whole game a new appeal to be honest. Doesn't have to be anything extreme really. This would be gold to be. Ofcourse, having a 3 route start map is probably not that easy either since the version now doesn't even have that many maps. But as mentioned, changes in the future if possible?
I'm sure I have told a few I know already how I'm not pleased with the layout of the maps right now, and I really really hope that the starting map and the layout of how to reach the rest of the game maps will be changed in the future. This doesn't cut it. But it's not like I would die if it stayed this way, I just wish for it to be different.
I'd actually want to make an "unofficial default map" just because it's possible and maybe someone else would catch the drift of what I'm thinking.
The starting map (default, bonfire) is actually the starting map afterall, it's the place everyone will see as soon as they get on the game, and it will be a gathering spot wether people like it or not.
Sorry that I might just talk about pointless things here, but if there's something I'd want more than the actions that existed in IT in FH, it's a new layout for the standard maps and the starting place.
