herrjon 478 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) It is pretty handy to know how to do some of this stuff, but it does rely a bit too heavily on waypoints imo. When my group teaches navigation and whatnot to new players, we still mention these, but we still go through how to do it without waypoints, and avoid the "clouds always move west to east" tip. Everything showcased in the video can be done without waypoints, sure maybe not as fast and efficient, but once you know what you're doing and you're familiar with the map, it's a fairly quick process.Also, calling a server that has waypoints disabled isn't a "bad server". There is a demand for it out there. Some people don't like them for immersion purposes, others just like the challenge of hardcore type servers, as well as feeling a bit safer from snipers because it's harder to range without the waypoints. Some like everything enabled, some like everything disabled, most prefer a happy medium in between. That's why we have all the different servers that we do.
