Sorry, have to say it: World Map is on the right side of the Main Menu.

Anyway, you are right about ā€˜used to’, but why are you sure how it ā€˜supposed to’?

:slight_smile:

You got me… :wink:

Back to why I posted this…

I get why they put Explore first, for all the newbies… But once the newbies fly their first couple of explorations, the first place everyone goes is the world map. As I said, I read left to right. For nearly a year, the interface has had the World map on the left… where it ā€œbelongsā€ :wink:

  1. It’s really bad form to change UI’s so drastically
  2. With this change, they’ve reduced the utility of main menu in my opinion. I’m long past wanting to go explore. I usually know where I want to fly, I want to go to the World Map. It should be first.

In my opinion, they had it right the first time. With the World Map on the left, and ā€œfunā€ stuff as the second menu choice.

I get that they designed the graphic and graphically, it does look ā€œbetterā€ with the ā€œarrowā€ of the explore menu pointing at the world map. Be that as it may, I don’t like that I have to move my mouse further to go where I want to go every… single… time.

If this doesn’t get a lot of votes, so be it. But, it’s how I feel. So I reported it… in, yes, a somewhat hyperbolic way. But, hey, my presentation got your attention :wink:

It’s a small thing, and I wholeheartedly agree it should be on the left side. Why? Because that’s how it was before, and because free flight is where the majority of the gameplay is, in my opinion.

If I could vote this multiple times, I would, and I hope more people feel the same way. Bring back the left side world map!
