[DEV1003] New Abyssea NPCs & Outraged Windurstians!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Port Sandy... Ok.
Port Lastok... Ok.
HEAVENS TOWER?!... WTF?

Sandy's NPCs are only 2 squares away from the mog house. Lastok's NPCs, you don't even have to cross the bridge. But Windurst? Why is it that us Windurstians have to run across an entire zone to a different zone just to get to these same NPCs whereas the other nations mearly have exit thier MH?

DEVteam, please explain yourself.

[ShadowHeart]

have u seen how fat them little taru's are they need the exercise!!!!

[Firebert_Lakshmi]

But the mithras don't need the exercise. In fact they're in GREAT shape!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Also, this is not an answer to jeuno congestion. Bazaar tax please.

[Limecat]

I can only imagine they're just sticking with a theme of nothing being located conveniently in Windurst. Like it's the "scenic city" or something, and they expect you to run back and forth to marvel in it's full splendor every time.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

It's only marvel if you're on vacation. The rest of us have to live there.
Here's my suggetion, put them next to the OP NPCs.

[Vold]

Port Lastok




HEAVENS TOWER?!... WTF?


It's called karma!

[Greatguardian]

As a Windurstian, I'd like to say that nothing at all is currently preventing me from simply using Horst and Joachim in Port Jeuno.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

It's called karma!On Siren Lastok in in last place 90% of the time.

[Moonuu]

It takes like 1-3 minutes from any windurst zone to get to heaven's tower... This is seriously nitpicking.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

[Alkalinehoe]

Port Lastok... Ok.

You can make all your little snipes, at least our NPC isn't in lolheavenstower.

[Ezikiel]

Loving it LOL

[Greatguardian]

Every nation can exit their rent-a-room and walk about 30 yalms in Jeuno... these NPCs are an alternative, not a replacement.

[Shoko]

Anyways, it was probably a problem on their end with Port Windurst and placement of the two dudes, I'm assuming. IIRC this has happened before with previous updates, and changed later.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Every nation can exit their rent-a-room and walk about 30 yalms in Jeuno... these NPCs are an alternative, not a replacement.More like 50. >.>

[Urthdigger]

Since when has Windurst EVER been convenient? Furthest from every nation and the dunes, everything is so spread out... It's always been the worst place to be if you needed to actually get someplace.

[Octaviane]

I seriously doubt that any of the measures implented will relieve congestion in Port Jeuno, I'll keep on staying away except to store seals. I do agree that the Abyssea NPC should have been placed in Port Windurst, why Heaven's Tower who knows. What is the logic behind this? I don't see it.

[Dekoda]

I realize these were meant to be alternatives. I know I can still use Jeuno.

Fact is, I want to chill in Windurst. I don't see the point in doing this, either. It's almost as bad as when the OP Warp NPC in Windy was all the way near the zone to Saruta ><

[Tsukino_Kaji]

It's almost as bad as when the OP Warp NPC in Windy was all the way near the zone to Saruta ><This actualy meant that it was near the signet, which was a very good thing.
They need to move Lastok's OP NPC to Markets to maintain balance.

[Dekoda]

Meh. When you're traveling to several different areas in one day and you already got your fresh rank 10 signet, it got annoying lol.

In any case you're right though... its hardly comparable to the Heaven's Tower situation lol

[Khajit]

SE should just put an HP or mog house in heaven tower perhaps? Probably force people to be a decent rank on windy missions to get the privilege or something. This is assuming that they decide not to move it to a move convenient spot.

[Runespider]

Maybe they are adding stupid annoying stuff so they can fix it next update and everyone will be happy

"WoW they moved the heavens tower NPC's to port, awesome job Square!..this update rocks!"

Can't see any other reason for such a stupid decision.

[wish12oz]

This is total garbage, I'm even breaking my 'no posting on these forums' stance to post this. Windurst's NPCs being so far from a mog house exit is an abomination. Sandy and Bastoks are RIGHT THERE, and windy is across 1 zone and into another, what the heck SE, fix this NOW.

[Mirage]

They better fix this in their traditional emergency maintenance :p

[Kraggy]

But the mithras don't need the exercise. In fact they're in GREAT shape!
Maybe Tarus can hitch a ride on a kitty?

[Dennis]

They should move Bastok's NPC to Metalworks (top floor) and Sandy's NPC's to Chateau d'Oraguille. That way we'll all stay in Port Jeuno, and shouting there actually makes sense.

[RushLynx]

I think it would be cool if everyone hung out in Heaven's Tower, but the fact of the matter is that people need to change jobs and stuff... Maybe they need to make another warp taru? Or add a MH exit to HT?

I know a lot of people aren't fans of Windy being so spread out... But it's one of my favorite parts of the nation, it's awesome compared to Bastok's boring streets and Sandy's god awful music...

[Volkai]

Long story short, Heaven's Tower is just that awesome.

That much more awesome than Chateau d'Oraguille or the Metalworks.

Please Move Windurst Abyssea NPCS

With the recent update the Abyssea NPCs (Jerreti and Kierron) where added to home nations. This was done to reduce the congestion in Port Jeuno as well as offer convenience to the players. It's very unfortunate that of these NPC locations the Windurst versions where placed in an annoying far off location. I humbly request that these NPCS be moved too G-11 in Windurst walls. I believe this is a prime location near the auction house, mog mail and mog house. This appears to be the equivalent to the NPCs in port Jeuno.

The location I speak of has a single taru NPC named Augu-Maugu near the palm tree and bridge. This location is far more convenient then the out of the way Heavens Tower.

(Edit) H-10 just west of the bard Burute-Sorute would also be a good location.

I ask the developers, please move these NPCs, in their current location they do not inspire players to switch to Windurst as much as other nations. They don't offer convenience or really reduce congestion being so far out of the way. At the current location they require a long walk and a complete rezone to another area just to access them.

[Eeek]

I agree with everything save this part. I think the best place for the Abyssea NPCs would be M-4 in Port Windurst opposite the Outpost NPC. This would place them on the outer edge of Windurst's 'central hub' (Southern Windurst Woods + Far Eastern Port Windurst).

[Sarick]

Eeek I kinda like M-4 as well. Bastok I think is the nation that best benifited from these NPCs. Apparently they're right beside the mog house very close to the outpost warp NPC.

[Mirage]

I think a nice place to put the abyssea warper would be near that thingie where the Whitegate-warper is. That would give us easy access to WG warp, auction house, and a short walk to the outpost warper.

[Angelsasuke]

Lol they have 4 MH exits to work with, they could even used windt wall exit if they wanted by seriously heavns tower comon i havent went there since i need KI for alexander, and berfore that ummmm longtime.

[Jalonis]

This is really what blows my mind. They have 4 simple, logical, easy to reach places that they could stick the NPCs. Instead they stick it in the most difficult to reach area in Windurst. And then quality control (lolwut) signed off on it.

How is heaven's tower "difficult to reach"?

[Riktar]

lol honestly i agreed with your grievance regarding the shitty NPC placement, but given your attitude towards Bastok.. i couldn't help but smile lol.

[Eeek]

How is heaven's tower "difficult to reach"?

If you'd like, you can replace 'difficult' with 'time-intensive' or 'one of the most inconvenient locations possible in Windurst.' It doesn't change the meaning much, but I guess it adds more clarity.

It really is a pain to repeatedly go to Heaven's Tower. BLM AF quests were annoying in that regard.

[Tannlore]

How is heaven's tower "difficult to reach"?


Think of it this way:

Place the Bastok NPCs in 2nd floor of the Metalworks and the Sandy NPCS in the Château near the queen's flower garden. This would be fairly synonymous parallels to Heaven's tower location in distances. How happy would you be? :p I have no Earthly clue what they were thinking when they put these NPCs in Heaven's Tower. Brain dead is all I could think of.
