Hallifax is the easiest city ever!! There's just a bit of a learning curve, but once you get it, smooooth sailing.

Continuum is a lot easier to cover exhaustively because you can do it one level at a time. The pattern is very easy in fact. On a plus-shaped level, visit all five rooms, then go to an edge and go north. On an X-shaped level, visit all five rooms, then to go an edge and go northeast. Repeat and you will cover every room in the plane very efficiently. The city's much harder to sweep because there's no one part you can get done before going on to the next part, without ending up having to go back through whole sections you already covered eventually to get to the next one. (In math terms, the city's a graph that cannot be modeled as a linear sequence of sections, but Continuum is.)


I learn areas by memorizing the map. Right now, I can picture the map of most areas in my head (sort of). The map on continuum shows the same room as several dozen rooms, so that ruins the method. Which means I'm censor.gif ed.

Same. That's why Magnagora and Gaudiguch are so dang easy to navigate around for me, they're easy to memorize. Celest's a little harder: then Glom, then Serenwilde. Hallifax is the most difficult - but still not too hard. Continuum is nuts.

I, on the other hand, have practically all of Serenwilde memorized. I even get lost in Magnagora, because I've been there all of like two times in between being enemied.

Magnagora and Gaudiguch look like someone made them randomly. Celest has a really easy pattern.
Ileein2011-07-15 04:04:17
Which makes sense-- New Celest and Hallifax are planned cities, the former because it was built very recently as a purpose-built new capital and the latter because it's a giant floating disco ball and what the hell else are you going to do with it. On the other hand, Magnagora and Gaudiguch grew organically (i.e. people built their houses wherever they wanted to, so a few key landmarks are in strategic locations and other stuff is scattered around wherever it's most efficient or fashionable to place it).

So, basically, New Celest is Melbourne, Hallifax is the International Space Station, Magnagora is London, and Gaudiguch is Cairo.

Patterns don't mesh well with my mind. I had Gaudiguch memorized about a day after it came out.

I find Gaudiguch and Celest very easy to navigate, followed by Magnagora, then Glomdoring, and then Serenwilde. That abomination Hallifax is completely beyond me and my comprehension. Though that arts and crafts project someone started that was a 3D model of Hallifax helped.

Hallifax isn't that bad. Continuum is hell. I can still barely navigate Continuum.

I always just go in a spiral until I find a room name that looks like the gem I'm trying to get to.

Hallifax was easier to navigate when you could see adjacent wards on the map. Once you get used to it though, its pretty easy to move around in and most of the stuff is a a level grouped with similar locations.

I had it memorized in about as long with having a char there. My mind assimilates everything. Resistance is futile.

So, so hard to plan things without any criteria for success. Or rather, with only self-imposed unattainable criteria for success. I hate you Wuylinfe. angry.gif

Reiterating this long and drawn out little no. Poor Phoebus. Poor, sweet Phoebus. It's just one thing after another for her these days.

Why is there a female Bridget? This is wrong.

Celest is shaped into a nautilus shell; it spirals outwards from the Pool. Pretty easy navigation if you ask me.

CONFIG MAPVIEW ON is also your friend.

And that being said: I am... super pissed off at Wallace right now.

Wanna tear his eyes out and eat them for breakfast >:

Hallifax is just a pyramid on top of an inverted pyramid. Give it a bit of time and it really is very easy.
Qistrel2011-07-15 13:00:45
In Wrath of Khan, Khan lost because he was was used to fighting on the ground and couldn't think in the three dimensions required for space battles. Hallifax is a space-station. Think in three dimensions instead of two, and it will be easy to navigate. I can do it and Qistrel doesn't even live there.
Shiri2011-07-15 13:04:24
I don't know why people keep saying that as if it solves the problem, because it totally doesn't. You can't get to the different areas you'd want by just moving in a straight line, because of all the peaks and troughs the actual paths take even to areas on the same elevation, so even if you can visualise where all the areas are in relation to each other, -you still can't get there that way.-

I'm the original lobo SG, everybody else is just copying.

Also, its a well known fact that werewolves>pansy elves.

I searched for "huge elf" for a badass picture to illustrate Elfen Lord stats, and found a drawing of a shirtless elf spanking Lara Croft ermm.gif

Search through the M:tG elf cards, and you'll see some that are big and scary.
