Y u no work in TOAU? Seriously though, we can hear people in Adoulin all the way in WG, but we can't use magic to warp to a friend in Caedarva Mire?


























Makes perfect sense.

game mechanics are game mechanics.... r u mad? stop trying to correlate our ability to communicate on an ever expanding video game to your ability to....I find instant travel tedious and SE has already provided us with the means to travel at a rapid pace through multiple mediums... should take advantage of them :)

There's insta travel, and then -yelling- across 3 continents. You mean to tell me that's normal? If that's the case why can't we get /yell everywhere?

Well... You can hear people from Adoulin/WG now because I believe it was implemented 2 updates ago. Even before SoA release I made a post saying it would be better if we had more areas where we could warp to leader.

One of the most horrible places to go would be purgatory island =p by the time you get there a party could have done a round of 6 Bismark or more if you don't have the VW warp. =p.

At anyrate, there is a 20 hour recast timer on it. Why not allow us to warp to leader from all areas?

Has nothing to do with ease of access, I don't even own the cape tbh...it just irks the daylights out of me.

In all honesty its just something I find stupid, I have always thought Nexus should be expanded, I mean hell, its a reward for having the 3 original add-ons, add-ons which came out after all 4 original expansions, why do they not work in all areas from the 4 expansions besides strongholds/caves!?

Not only that, but if -Umichi- you find that communication is so much more important, why don't get /yell in the starter nations hm? idk how new players would take to the Jeuno piss fights everyday.

Now that you can send party invites from anywhere in the world, this has the potential to be an extremely useful item. As is, the number of zones in which it works is laughably small.

Seriously. I can understand (sort of) the restriction on using it in dungeons, but the field areas are heavily restricted, too. I can't teleport to my friend in the Sanctuary of Zi'tah? Really? Why the heck not?

Doesn't work anywhere in Li'Telor.

Speculation is that it was done to prevent people from using it go get to Dragon's Aery faster, but that's not official.

on the basis that everyone has to run through the tree and the aery is a dungeon, people would have to outpost to Zi'Tah, which is right beside the tree. Cutting like a 5 minute walk is not asking for a limb, and as a normal area Nexus should be allowed to be used if it's not a dungeon, otherwise it loses the potential of getting it.

There is AFAIK, a back exit, that someone could in theory, stand at, and have people Nexus to it. Again, am NOT someone who every camped there, but I do recall once my LS had a pop and someone tried just that only to find cape didn't work.

Soooo, basically you are just complaining just to complain about something.

That's like walking into a factory 2 cities over and complaining about how the working conditions are effecting you.

It might have something to do with the fact that they can only guarantee people have base ffxi and zilart expansions. There are 2 COP zones, Uleg Range and Attowah ,that you can nexus too (so I cant explain that) but I remember them saying something along those lines. maybe cause those zones are connected right to zilart zones where bibiki for example involves a boat trip to get to the island part.

Now you could say I uninstalled the expansion, or had to reinstall the game, but then again so far as I know if you did that kinda thing it could just tell you "You cannot enter this area" or something to that effect, and return you to where you were. In either case, I still fail to understand why they never expanded this cape, or really, why it was so small to begin with. Some things like the Sanctuary might have had some meaning in the past, but that's the past, not now, which is why it should be updated, because at this point there is no reason why we should not have some of these things.
