Aby npc in Heavens tower?

[Juxtaposition]

In regards to comments about the placement of the Abyssea NPCs in Heaven’s Tower, Windurst, the development team is aware of what you are all pointing out. The development team tried placing them in each area of Windurst, however, there were memory issues in Windurst Woods, Windurst Waters, and Port Windurst which would not allow the ability to confirm Bastion conditions. Due to this, they placed the NPCs in Heaven’s Tower.

As pointed out, there is a difference in convenience when compared to San d’Oria and Bastok, and though it might take some time, we will be looking for other methods to solve this issue.

Disable the ability to confirm Bastion status. No body cares enough about checking Bastion status in Windurst to forsake location convenience.

If they were having these issues and they posted about it on the forums, I'm sure many good suggestions could of been made before the update. :/ Not that we know better, but things a designer can come up with may seem a good compromise when to the players it really isn't. The current situation is pointless and doesn't help players at all.

When we see stupid design choices and aren't told the reason for them everyone gets annoyed.

Why put the NPC's in Heavens tower?..

What's the point adding NPC's to starter cities to make it easier and put them so far out of the way? Put them right next to the OP NPC.

This means it's pretty much the same distance for me to goto port jeuno as Heavens tower, pointless.

If I'm not entirely mistaken didnt they move the Outpost Warp NPCs because of this too a few years back? Doesn't make much sense to put the Abyssea NPCs there after moving the OP NPCs out.

[Eeek]

I'd think the Horst warp should have some kind of restriction to not totally antiquate the airships. I guess having Shinryu cleared then like 2500 cruor a pop should do it. Decent for emergencies, but not something you'd wanna rely on.

The Airships are, for the most part, already obsolete. Depending on the Airship schedules, it's often faster to OP to Qufim Island and run to Jeuno, or, warp to Whitegate and pay the Warp Taru to send you to Ru'Lude Gardens.

I'm just hoping for a faster mode of transportation. Once the 'Lure of the Wildcat' NPCs offered a quick and cheap warp to Whitegate, I immediately set my Home Point in Windurst Woods. I'd love to do so again, but I need a method of travel to Port Jeuno that's comparable to the 'Lure of the Wildcat' NPCs.

...Uh oh...they are on to us...

You totally deserve a Kupo Cookie for this~

I do care for bastion status updates just like I actually check campaign intel. Considering it's one over all system, I'm pretty sure they can't pick and choose which NPC suddenly omits which information, but maybe XI is designed differently.

Why wouldnt it be just as easy to put the NPC just outside the mog in Walls? Does Heavens Tower count as its own zone completely? If it cant be done then there is no way a warp taru to Heavens Tower would work either.
How about taking the synergy out of Walls and put the Abyssea NPC next to the mog instead? Most people in Windy go to Waters for their synergy work now. Alternatively the NPC could be put where the synergy is now in Waters and people could go to the Walls synergy set up. It is closer to the AH anyway which would be useful.
