Old Map / New Map

General Discussion
When Season 2 came and the map changed, it was kind of cool but also weird and made the game feel like someone made a mistake and connected all the maps wrong. Like, all of a sudden you could walk from Elias to Atlantis by going through Snow Field. How does that make any sense? And why is the balloon to Lilliput in Atlantis? It's going to fly through the water?

What do you miss the most about the old map?
What do you hate the most about the new map?
What do you like about the new map? if anything :P
Did anything else change in Season 3? (i didn't play much of it)

    well even though i mainly used warpcrystal to get around i must agree that it was super weird to have the maps changed like that.
    it used to be a fluid progression from one area to another and i really liked that it felt like youre actually travelling smoothly through the game. :)
    guess they changed it back then so its more convenient for people without a warpcrystal to get around the most important places.

    It's fairly centralized around Elias now for the first continent.  It did take some getting use to but if you're aware of what the W and M key do and how to use the mini map in towns it's not so bad  to find most things.  

    Now that I think about it the more recent map changes came with a rehaul of the quest.  So some of the old problems with translation where a quest would mention a location by a different name than on the map or mini map probably doesn't exist anymore.

    Thinking of how LaTale has changed to become easier and much faster to get into I think the change ultimately had to be made to further support this scheme.

    I pretty much hate the post-S2 map for no other reason than a lot of the changes infringed on like, whatever the original map designers and artists were thinking of. or maybe that's just nostalgia who knows

    Old Jienda was so charmingg

    Really miss going through the removed maps whenever made a new char now never go to them since prefer questing until grindings the only option.

    @AugustineVii XD I had to look at pies quide so many times in s1 took a while to remember the path to get to the maze room until finally bought a warp crystal by doing the free astro stuff that took a while xwx

    IIRC the maps were removed to reduce the load of unneeded data - abandoned maps nobody went to anymore. I still miss Sunset street though.

    @SuperEdwak Agree. Sunset street was a beautiful place to go.
