Do away with "You're off the path"

Whenever a player has given themselves a path, and switches from one area to another, the path should be recalculated from their current position to the target. This would eliminate "You're off the path" messages, and allow the path to adapt to players who choose to take detours (which are sometimes faster).

(bluto recommended a similar idea in a response to alpha.glitch.com/forum/idea...

  • I suggested the same thing a while back: alpha.glitch.com/forum/idea..., so +1.

  • i just came to the ideas forum to suggest a related idea: it would be nice if we could drag the highlighted path on the map to reroute the trip if you wanted to stop for groceries on your way to the mines or whatever. it could work either by adding another target on the route, or by just letting you adjust the path if you wanted a change of scenery on a well-traveled commute.

    i also would prefer if the 'off the path' message disappeared after you first reach your destination, because i end up confusing myself if i don't set a new route, and end up forgetting what i was doing and going back and forth a lot. i think it used to work this way when it was first introduced, but could just be imagining things.
