Another one of those suggestion Threads =P

This idea came to me while ago, you surely remember that the Financial District had a Subway Station and the Waterfront lots of Peers. So the idea behind this is that you could use the Subway or Boat to travel to the Social District, if it turns out to be to much effort (loading into the districts) The Entrance of either Subway or Peer could be interactable.

To avoid people from leaving combat or missions the interaction could be locked for a set time or until the mission is over.

Thanks for reading! just wanted to get this off of my heart =)

Have a good one folks!

One of our plans is a thing called "Hidden transfer zones"

We're planning on putting load zones in between transit systems, so end users won't have to sit in front of a loading screen while traveling from place to place, think of tera's Pegasus system but with subway carts.

Out of words here Luna. This is literally what i was imagining if you´d travel, lets say, from Financial to Social District. Hands down, this is going to be an amazing ride!

Wpah, that sounds nice....

Eventuaööy you then can drive through a tunnel woth your car to other districts too, that the tunnel animation acts as boot screen to enter other maps?

Wow, reminds me of the fast travel methods in Tony Hawks American Wasteland. You could get onto a bus, subway, or into a truck to transfer to different levels when in Story Mode, and you were able to move around on the bus or subway car while the new map was loading. I always thought that was a really cool feature.

Will we have the option of using a menu instead so we don't need to go to, say, a subway?

Sorry to burst you guy's bubble, but driving to the social district is a no-go, the train thing is though.

We want to minimize the amount of loading screens, and allowing a car to drive from zone to zone isn't possible on a technical level atm.

As for having a menu option to go to the different zones, there will be.
