Waypoints

[AmpleVyzzhor]

I would like to see way-points be far more flexible than they currently are. In other words, I'd like my way-points to save anywhere and have the ability to create them anywhere, as is done in many other games. Having to rush to the next fixed way-point, and then have them disappear and have to re-do everything to get back to the fixed way-point frustrates me terribly. Anyone else feel that way, also?

a waypoint almost every map...it have too much waypoint

If you like to save everywhere...go play sims

What are you talking about? Once you activate a waypoint, you should have access to that waypoint with that character... it shouldn't disappear, unless there's a rollback or non-save.

There are enough waypoints and most of them are in a perfect position already. For everything else is the town portal.

I believe she means setting the way-point where she wants it

Then why end the sentence like it was the current way they describe in that sentence ("frustrates me terribly")? And it still doesn't clear up why waypoints would "disappear".

Waypoints are at every couple maps, town portals are so available they should just make them an innate skill. So you can always open a door back to town at will.

And there's nothing to be gained by locking instances open indefinitely - in fact there's a lot to be lost by allowing that, not the least people taking up server resources because they leave their game logged in while they're in bed. So no matter what, the instances will have to be set to expire.

And you get at least 8 minutes out of the instance. If you're in between waypoints you should just be dropping off loot. Once you reach a waypoint - then go back to town to spend the next 20 minutes studying build guides.

No, they're fine as they are. For everything else, there's portals.
