Summary0006533: Rightclicking on region map should go up one level or duplicate pressing '.'
DescriptionYou can left-click on the region map (bottom right one) to go in a level - into a specific dungeon or whatever.

However, to get to the top level, you have to press '.' on the default controls, which typically means taking a hand off the keyboard to reach it.

I think right-clicking on the region-map should go up one level or perhaps go straight to the top level entire region display, so that you could use it entirely using the mouse - since you can only warp when you're standing at a portal and having the cursor over it already blocks right-click casting, I don't think this would cause any problems.

I agree the '.' and ',' interface leaves much to be desired -- this is a pretty big UI usability issue.

I'm not sure how intuitive right clicking is though, since left-clicking is context sensitive to the specific square you're pointing to, while right-clicking wouldn't be. I think what's missing is a button. Maybe an up arrow with hover text saying 'switch to region view' or something like that.

A button would also work. I suggested right-clicking, because I usually try this at least once every time I play. I'm unsure why it's intuitive to me, unfortunately, so I can't really support it that much :)

With the recent changes to how the region map and dungeon map work (being able to see both at once, etc), that should handle what you were actually driving at. Thanks!
