Petition: Don't allow two home points!

I'm in a poor mood and probably shouldn’t even post this and I warn it is full of hyperbole…

I agree with the OP. If this were just a temporary Band-Aid for the Ul'dah inn being down I wouldn’t mind.

Otherwise it just seems... I don’t know. Why not go whole hog and give us free tele to all 3 cities? Why not just give free tele to everywhere. Why not just let us choose the zone name and enter x,y coords and we just warp anywhere…

Why design an overworld, lets just gather together in one city and tele to instances and only ever see 8 people at a time... That’s not the game I signed up for.

Nobody cried about waypoints or town portals in Diablo 2. Nobody said that it made the game too easy to get around quickly. Quick travel times in WoW doesn't make it easier, nor has teleporting made 14 easier. Outposts and White Mage teleports did not make content in 11 easier. All they did was let you get to the actual things you want to do in a more timely fashion than taking 30 minutes to run out to it. There's NO point in it taking forever.

Yes, SE, give us 2 home points. That is great and I love it. My ability to return to the city and somewhere else does not make it easier for me to kill Chimera.

Want a harder game? Go make a petition thread to hotfix Chim's Voice of the Dragon to damage everyone in the area passed a certain point, not just in a thin ring that you can stand outside of. There's some actual difficulty addition for your game.

This lets make this bosses harder not time spent traveling >.>

There are 25 crystals that one can set their homepoint to. You can return to one of two, out of those 25, every 15 minutes. No matter what the system is, people will always find ways to abuse or get around it. However, this doesn't mean that the entire community should be damned just because a few people can go between two cities every 15 minutes.

Anima cost for every single other point in the entire game is still in effect. We now have events in areas far enough off that teleporting, even with anima cost, is still viable. We also have the choice of foregoing anima use and using Chocobos and Airships. I guarantee even with these two homepoint options, people will still run out of anima.

The overworld will still be used, extensively. The sky is not falling, the world is not coming to an end just because we have one additional return point. It's really not that big of a deal. You know what's going to happen? I'm going to set one homepoint at my Inn for when I log out for the night and the other as I normally would.

Maybe with the proper usage this will finally let me do gathering leves in places other than Ul'dah without the constant reminder that running from LL to Iron Lake or Grid to Treespeak is way more time consuming than Ul'dah to Halatali, and that little sidebar that if I were to use anima it would take me 32 hours worth for every 12 hours of leve allowance

ITT: Time spent traveling directly correlates to game difficulty.

Well ya it does correlate to difficulty, mental difficulty. If you spent the time riding somewhere, you will be kinda mentally fatigued when you do the fight, thus being less effective during the fight.

Also the faster you can travel places the faster you can get stuff, thus making it easier to get better stuff, thus making the game easier because you had to spend x time getting somewhere. If we didn't have teleports or what have you, non of you would have all classes 50 but only a few.

The OP is always against features that would make the game better or easier to play and always seems to get an angry response from people. Hes made several topics and they all gone pretty much the same way. Personally I think hes doing it because he likes the attention.

Far from, why would anyone want negative attention. I do it because they are silly and DON'T help the game at all, it hurts it.

Just stop it Rokien. Stop it.



Just....





......................................Stop it.
