    Default login screen: bring back world view and inventory

    Why would the devs push us towards wasting time loading a new town when all we want to do is jump in a game, or check friends list, or get into some other gear?

    I honestly hated the way if i left a game i would return to town, before the update. Now, there is no way around the fact that i have to load the town whenever i do something.

    We're trying to declutter the main screen as much as possible. With so many options available, it was very confusing to some players.

    I only never used the Quick Play function. I can still quickly log on and see if any of my friends are online via menu button on android, but please bring back the World Map.

    then why not have the enter world button lead you to the world map?
    you can have a nice little "character info" button under "enter world" too.

    edit: just got a pm, would have loved to reply without having to load a town.

    G, not being able to get to the world map kinda sucks, and I mean that cheerfully and constructively. Understand the de-clutter angle, but maybe just stick a globe in one of the corners for the World Map.

    one way i see the world map being confusing to new players is how they try to enter towns, or games, and keep being directed to the buying screen. maybe visibly marking areas you cannot enter on the map would help. caution-like lines would be interesting and effective lol.

    remove the store and quick play button

    the join game is CRITICAL for re-joining fast games when you want to switch characters
    i really thought this was a bug
    now im kinda....upset at this

    What about having an option to add world map to main screen. That way it won't confuse new players because by the time they get to changing advanced options they should have at least a basic understanding of the game?

    One alternative is to put in the options a way for people to go back to the old option. That way people who like the newer, simplified version can keep it.

    I agree with Arterra on this one - sometimes, more is more. I'd prefer the the old version as the default screen and the new one as an option.

    I too would love to see world map in main screen. It makes jumping into the game a lot easier. Please Devs at least give us this option.
