Suggestion : Option to spawn directly in hideout
TL/DR : On log-in, spawn in hideout instead of town. Either UI option, epilogue auto or mix of both (UI that trigger only on epilogue character).

This is probably not new and has probably had a lot of discussion, sorry if it's redundant.

Since in end-game we usualy spend all of our time in our hideout/map, except for rare trips to previous maps for challenge/prophecy or also rare trips to town to trade divination/divine vessel or purchase gems, it seems it would make sense to have an option to spawn automaticaly in your hideout on login.

This could either be a UI option... or it could activate automaticaly once you reach the epilogue. Or it could be a UI option that affect only character that have reached the epilogue, wichever seems more convenient.

Most of the ideas people give are weird ones, but this one is a big quality of life upgrade.

Thank you :)

I assume then it's not been heavily discussed in the forums? (it's actualy surprising if it would be the case, it feels like such a simple and small adjustment, yet worthwile to all end-gamers)

why bother with portal scrolls when all you can do is just setup a lagout macro :v

Actualy, this suggestion is not about where you'd port to (because when you're mapping, you will go back to your hideout with portals)

This suggestion is about spawning in your hideout automaticaly instead of in town on login in.

yeah that's why i said why bother with portals scrolls whatsoever when mapping because what you suggested would make it possible to lagswitch after killing the boss and reconnecting in your hideout , the current city respawn makes this not worth doing every time . reconnecting in your hideout is a different story.

I understand but I disagree. Usualy the loading from portal to hideout from map is near instantaneous, whereas re-loging even when it's after seeing that zone shortly before is a couple MS more. Portal would still be relevant (and cheap).

Never gonna happen. Towns function as MTX advertismenets. Either type /hideout in chat, or get a hideout macro.
