/yell Expansion

[Umichi]

Honestly, you should be able to hear yells from any of the major cities while you're in jeuno/windurst/sandoria/bastok. I know it was stated you have no plans to do this, but it'd be nice to be able to set my home point somewhere other then jeuno. To that extent, it would be nice if we had direct teleports from the main cities to Jeuno perhaps through Proto-Waypoints?

Edit: toss in Whitegate too, that's another great option for yells and proto-waypoints (though I understand that'd be harder to blend into the story)

Edit2: Maybe make it a special Linkpearl type thing you can get from a quest, if you have it you can hear yells in the major cities.

I personally would like the major three cities and the new city in the new expansion

Yells to all cities and give us the option to have separate chat windows tho.

Should make /yell in the Chocobo Circuit be seen in Windurst, Bastok, San d'Oria, Jeuno and Whitegate and vice versa. Remove the bazaar tax and the circuit will be the zone that will attract everyone.

For the love of god yes!!!! Easily accessible bazaar from any nation and remove the horrible lag from Jeuno yet allow easy place to find stuff Not like chocobo racing is/was a huge draw event.

I want to understand how this will work.
Each area will have its "own" yell channel? Or will Yell work cross-area?
Will it be something like:

Yell 1: Ru'lude Gardens, Upper Jeuno, Lower Jeuno, Port Jeuno
Yell 2: Al Zhabi, Aht Urghan Whitegate

etc etc.
Or will it be something like:
Yell: Ru'lude Gardens, Upper Jeuno, Lower Jeuno, Port Jeuno, Al Zhabi, Aht Urghan Whitegate, Chocobo Circuit, ...

To clarify, this expansion will make it so yells that can only be heard in Jeuno areas can also be heard in other locations. We will not be increasing the amount of chat channels.

Can you also extend the range on forming alliances? I've been making a few Voidwatch parties and leaders of other parties had to change to the same area as I am standing in to form an alliance.

We will be looking into the alliance invite range when we expand the invite distance for parties. When that time comes, we will let you know the details.

So I can, say, Shout in Port Jeuno and be "heard" in Aht Urghan Whitegate and Bastok Markets as well? (just an example).
If THAT is how you want to make things work then, sir, I am at a loss of words to express how much I am astonished by such a huge and awesome change

I mean... I can already do that with the shout page of FFXIAH or Guildworks, but being able to do it for everybody in-game will just be twice as good. People not interested in the spam will just be able to use the "Yell Filter" option, just like everybody does in every other MMO.

Yeah, that's what it means. It is awesome, isn't it?

This change makes it easier to make your "home" in another town or city because you won't have to miss people trying to from groups for things you need.

This. Thank you for this welcome change, and please pass on our thanks for this welcome change to all members of the team who are involved in the decision-making and implementation processes concerning welcome changes.

[Quetzacoatl]

Wow, I approve of this.

Any positive change towards alleviating the lag in Jeuno is awesome.

looking how it looks listed, I believe that it'd be easy if you put it in all areas that you cannot use abilities that are field only (so cities, areas that you can't cast summons/summon pets, ect.).
