Sailing is absolute garbage

[Crash]

I hated it in windwaker, and somehow it's even worse on Lost Ark, I've sailed manually, and I've "auto-sailed" and it's a boring waste of time regardless of how you look at it, why on earth can't we just teleport to all locations? why do we have to do this 100% legit waste of time sailing to get places, it adds absolutely nothing to the game.

[lollars]

you can teleport to all location if you use your bifrost

[Fyra'Nok]

still have to sail and not all places can be bifrosted

anyway. OP's point is 100% legit waste of opinion.

It adds immersion and Lost Ark's world revolves around sailing to different places. Arthenine, Luterra, Anikka, Feiton, etc... each continent is distinctly different from the other, and sailing to it adds immersion that they are separate. It's not a waste of time.

I think OP need this

Pay a visit to Riff at every port, you can catch a ocean liner to every continent just costs silver

[Happy]

Buy a ship skin, set auto-route and get some fresh air. It adds alot of depth, contrast and fun to the game for me. I can grab a drink, see a guide or insta sexy chicks while sailing and it worths every second.

Whenever it takes more than 2 minutes, I plan a route and let the crew autosail it, while I take care of my plebian needs.

If possible, I tie the guild quest into the route for sailing dangerous waters (or whatever it was called).

Sailing is fine. It is a welcome change of pace from monster slaying. Mapping a route and finding nice story lines on islands is a reward in itself. You only really have to sail major routes once, then you can just pay the liner.

Sailing in this game is boring compared to Archeage. You should be used to sailing gameplay since they're in almost every Korean MMO.

A lobby game like call of duty would be more to your taste it seem, you clearly don't like RPG style game.
It's being an adult to know what fit your playstyle so you don't force yourself in something you don't like then complain on the forum about it.

I can only teleport to one location using that. I don't know whether more of those slots open up eventually, or whether that's in the cash shop only -- but even then, there don't seem to be enough slots for everything.

just get a fast boat. teleporting beats the purpose of it and is just boring af, exploring islands also rewards you

There are always the same islands on the routes between the continents... and once explored there's no reward anymore; the island just become mostly useless markers on the map.

Sailing in Windwaker was fun.

Maybe play games you enjoy instead?

they are literally not the same? when you do islands, you mostly want the token for the rewards. Dailies will also make you go to the islands too. Theirs also adventure islands that change everyday. useless or not, its still pretty good, Starlight has to be my favorite one of them all.
