    BUSTED! Train is already leaving for Huntersdale, Kirjavatolppa, etcetc! Too bad you cant have catcher farms anymore (or theres no point anymore)...

    A history of my jumps will do some jumping easier, but do I need to wait to the 22th century to get a "jump to closest beacon" when I watch a friend/team mates profile?

    That looks great. Then you can actually find your friends and help them in battle

    Awesome, this'll help a lot =) Although I'm wondering whether it's a list of all available beacons or a history of ones the player has used? Is the time how long the beacon has existed or how long it's been since the player used said beacon or what?

    that's a great question, I don't think we'll get the answer soon, they love to mess with us a bit! :p we'll probably have to wait until the update is released :) I love both ideas though! :) Can't wait for more previews! :)

    Coswell :D You'll find two of my doms, maybe a few from others and a lot of nothing at Hunterdale. Let me know when you are close, so I can give you a proper welcome.

    hmm... even if they were jump to past jumped to beacons this will be a great addition. Now if only you could sticky a few at the top...

    Wait whats with the time? Is this going to take actual time to Travel there? If so this could slow things a bit.

    Been awhile since I used this... *facepalm* Obviously it isn't going to take hours to get to a spot.... It's either how long it's been since you used the beacon or how long the beacon has been in existence...

    Hmm, it doesn't seem like it would be hard to pull up a list when you click on an area...are there going to be other methods of quick beacon access, or will it only be a history?!

    Personally I would love the ability to switch between the current cloudview and a world map overhead. The world map could be zoomed in upon and allow the player to pinpoint players and beacons while still limiting activity viewing etc to the standard cloudview.

    Can you guys include the beacon owner on the beacon list? Also, simply spacing out the beacons on the overview so they don't overlap so much would be a huge improvement.

    The owner IS on the list. It's the name eneath the location in smaller type -.-

    I wish the list shows all the beacons of your friend's list not only a few of them.
