Teleporting around the map?

[TheQuestion]

"New Upgrade: Dream Gate - Discover a whole new method of traversing Hallownest! Slice through the Veil and travel in an instant from one corner of the kingdom to another."

That sounds like there are no proper way to teleport across the map right now, so are you confined to running around the map in this metroidvania?

Nope, you have a stag friend that carry people around and will take you instantly from one stag station to another as soon as you find those. Alternatively, there is also a tram system that serve the same purpose.

Yep, it teleports you from one station to another indeed

Sounds good enough, I have to wonder though since they give you another transport option in the update if there are very few of these stag places around the map.

It's hard to say since it's so subjective.

Clearly, the game values exploration and you won't have a stag place every two rooms. There is usually one per major area and within 5-10 minutes walk from any given point! I think the consensus is that it's fine as it is.

There was one notable exception which made sense thematically but that forced players to take the same 3-4minutes path many times during the game if they wanted to get to a tram station from a stag station. It wasn't bad at all on itself, but the repetition of it made it not ideal in the long run. I believe that why they're bringing an extra stag station in the next update.

So the Dream Gate thing coming up seems to be more about offering new interesting gameplay and lore than anything else, but we shall find out soon lol

There's 10 of them scattered around, but it's not like they're right next to each other. A certain amount of trekking is required to access them. The update in July are going to add more though in addition to the Dream Gates. Apparently some people want still more ways to move around quickly, and Team Cherry is willing to grant them that.
