Warping Directly To BCNM Circles

[Rie]

I agree the exit locations are dumb. We usually have a BLM stay behind with the person opening the box, and everyone else exits. You can escape to directly outside Giddeus again, instead of having to run the whole way, you just have to redo the Giddeus part of the leg. Still kinda sucks but it does cut down travelling time somewhat. It gives people time to rest mp/unweaken (not so much an issue anymore) I guess. Yughott Grotto exit is a lot more forgiving than both Giddeus and Palborough though.

I've even had a Voidwatch fight - where you can get a warp straight to the zone - where one person took 25 minutes longer to get to the fight than the first people to arrive. They didn't go AFK or anything - I don't know how it is possible.

Sorry to derail a little, but I suspect these are the same people who took the boat to Nashmau with Einherjar start time 5mins away.

There is no reason you shouldnt be able to warp directly to the BCNM arenas if you've been there before and all BCNMs should exit you back at the start.

You're a sadist if you think walking to the arenas accomplishes anything.

The Dev's have better things to worry about than expediting player laziness.

If you're too lazy to walk to the BCNM, you're probably too lazy to do them in the first place.

You mean like updating chocobo racing a event that NOBODY does? Okay bro I'm with you there.

I didn't say that was worth updating either.

Changing the exit coordinates and creating a direct teleport to a zone is what they've been doing with every Voidwatch iteration, give me a break.

The time wasted walking back and losing 15mins after every BCNM has nothing to do with desire to do the actual battles. Some BCNM walkarounds are longer than the actual battlefields.

Yet there's those that complain about lack of content and not doing the content that exist. =\ Only the Japanese players and a few western FF enthusiast actually care to explore what content exist in the game instead of bitching about it cause it isn't "interesting" enough or "rewarding". Granted though, it's how you personally feel about it, and personal feelings and opinions don't always match.

You want to know what the number one killer of BCNMs? It sure isn't the time it takes to travel there. It's the fact that many players don't even know anything about BCNMs that they can do. And the players that do? The excuse is 9/10 the same; "I don't have inventory space for lv.X0 gear."

Like I stated before, thanks to additional ways to get around the continents of Vana'diel, travel time has been drastically reduced. Direct warping will not make BCNMs more attractive. It'll only make it easier for people to get to the BCNMs like KSNMs 99 that people are already going in LARGE groups with MULTIPLE orbs. Or certain BCNMs for items people ARE willing to travel for. Forget the RMT excuse, you simply want to warp there to abuse it.

Oh right, but even when it's there, after the abuse is done, some of you will the first to complain about being bored in Jeuno cause you exhausted your current means of entertainment in less than a weeks time and wonder why you even still play, if you aren't even doing that already.

They should just add a universal NPC in the mog house that lets you pick anything in the game from a list and jump striaght there. Let's add in some bot allies so you don't have to waste time finding people to party with. Then, let's get rid of the Online part and remove all that nasty lag. Then, let's make it so everything in the game can be done from the mog house without even having to leave it. Then we can go ahead and delete all the other areas since there's no longer any reason to go through them anymore.
