Waypoints

[Yinnyth]

If they added waypoints to the three starter cities, I'm pretty sure the initial quest would still begin from Jeuno. I'm not too opposed to giving new players a fast-track to catch up to us, though it saddens me to know they won't have the same experiences with the game that I had.

Oh, selbina goblins pwning everyone nearby... where hast thou gone?

What if you have no need for xp? Capped merit and all 20 jobs?

Same as imperial currency. You're not doing it for the exp, you're doing it for the other rewards in that case.

At that point, you likely have every outpost worth mentioning anyway.

So I go out of my way, taking time to get tabs from high level GoV mobs, to save about 1~2 minutes every time I want to goto my home nation. Seems like I may be losing more time than I am gaining seeing as at most I can get like 250 tabs a page in Gustav, but tabs are once a hour, so I would need 2 hours down there for 500 tabs. Thats 50 reps, if ya do the math, I'm takin more time to go do GoV than the time I am saving by doing it for tabs.

Basically same thing. Difference with Aht is if I do Besieged, its short, at most going to take a hour, and I get a ton of points, same with Campaign, tabs you get a single time a game day and at best get something like 300~500, not thousands.

More waypoints in more places, yes please!

300 is six trips right there. Drop into nearest dungeon area, smoke bunch of EP's, leave with points- that takes you 15 minutes, if that.

If instead you're hanging out farming for a torque or the like means you spend enough time in there to pick up a few thousand tabs, and it's only 50 tabs per home nation warp, and you do end up with whatever else you dig out of those caskets while you're at it. Basically, pick a good spot to farm a bit for Gil/casket items and you'll end up with enough tabs to last you for months in the process.

Holy mother of God, there are waypoints every 10 yalms in Adoulin. That should pretty much blow the "you're just lazy" argument out of the water. All I'm asking for is one measly waypoint in each starter city. Please.

[Fatestaynight]

I really don't see the point of adding them to starter cities. VW teleports pretty much take care of that.

In all seriousness, I would not be surprised if SE did that trying to tell us something. While I agree they should add a few more waypoints like in Windy, Bastok, and Sandy, they did make them severely frequent in Adoulin, its as if they are calling us out on our lazy tendencies. As I pointed out when walking around the city with my GF last night for the first time, in the Eastern Adoulin area on the way to the Mog House we passed one at a fork in the road, one at the AH, and another at the Mog House, these are all right next to one another.

Heck, it would be more convenient if we were to just log on, all the gears that we wanted (AF3+2 items), all the relics, all the empy, etc etc just shows up in the dbox. Sure, all for the convenient because I'm too lazy to go do them myself. Why bother to even leave the MH.

How is it at the bottom of that slippery slope? It should be pretty crowded down there, because this exact same thing is said every single time anyone asks for any sort of convenience.

The funny thing is, if they added waypoints to cities you'd take full advantage of them the same way you do all the other conveniences that have been added over the years that you and others probably thought were going to ruin the game.

anyone whose home nation is bastok and is complaining about warps is nuts. bastokers have an ace in the hole for getting to jeuno (when your homepoint is in jeuno):

grounds tome in Zerhun Mines, conveniently connected to Bastok Mines where you repat to!

now if sandy and windy had an equally easily accessible grounds tome... (no, i'm not running all the way to the sewers or the canal ><) or maybe if the field manuals offered homing instinct, too...!
