Intra-city travel

Do we really need this? I mean..... really? Traveling from one end to the city to the next?.... like why? I will only accept this if you have to unlock it and its house base, where you have to go in your residents and choose what side. But have we become this lazy?

will be quitting the game and most my LS will be to if they add this.

Why is that?

Chocobos sadly have made most characters spoiled. I admit I too suffer from it, but thank god my archer comes with swiftsong. But intra-city travel was only acceptable in xi because it was actually necessary. But in this game, highly not needed.

Anima made people spoiled......

>_> Love how certain people can only think in the present.

This feature might be more suited for down the road when the new world map is pushed out.

The new maps are going to be pushed in and turned into zones....... soo unless they make the cities into 3-4 different zones, I don't see the point.....

Exactly what I was thinking, SirOleas. I'm thinking the remade maps in 2.0 might make need of it. Still, I don't mind the feature. OH MY GOD, I can get to the other side of town faster.... what the hell, I'm so mad!

It will likely be the case for cities and all areas in general.
Making smaller zones (or individual zones not really small) allows for more to be going on in the map to make it more life like etc. Cities require a lot of resources on both ends (user and provider) so naturally splitting them into zones would show the most benefit when it comes to a better/more alive/interactive/etc world.

Grand Theft Chocobo: New Ul'dah? Now with Goobbue-jacking, Potion Trafficking and Male Miqo'te 'horing.

That being said, when the game launched, they really gave us everything we "needed" - a world and monsters to kill. If players were simply satisfied with "needs" then this game would have had a vastly more successful launch. The things they are adding may not be what everyone currently playing needs or wants (gosh, those who stuck it out through the first few months clearly seemed happy enough with the bare minimum), but they are preemptively adding things so when 2.0 launches and a potential subscriber asks "does this have x_feature?" SE can say "why yes, yes it does!".

And no, before you ask, a person may not subscribe to the game over this single feature or any other single feature, but all of these little things being added together, yes.

While some players may be completely content with the bare minimum, thinking it makes them hardcore and more validated in the world because they are going without these things - SE is clearly thinking about more than just these players.

So, next time they add something and you think "do we really need this?", consider the fact that the success of an MMO is not defined solely on satisfying the "needs", its also the "wants", and SE "wants" more subscribers, at this point, it "needs" them.

why ? it s only a sarcasm, just tag along :D

I dont want to have this.. There is no atmosphere in this game. I dont like the anima system too. Teleportation is cool but i wish it would make any sense in the game world.

It's not like you're being forced to use it.

How anyone can be against this is beyond me, Limsa Lominsa and Gridania are absolute hellholes to run trough when doing locals.

What exactly is this "Intra-City Travel" you people are complaining about?

Did I miss new patch notes or something?

Is this some sort of implementation of Aether Nodes in each of the main cities to make teleporting from, say, the Adventurers Guild in Gridania to the Conurers Guild in Gridania quicker than it already is?

Or is this a refference to FFXI style Multi-Zone cities?

Edit: I see...

-NEW-
Intra-city travel -NEW-
Implementation of system allowing for warping within each city-state

...Is this really worth getting upset about?

I have a feeling it will work similar to the teleportation thing in Windurst back in FFXIV. You could talk to an NPC that would offer to teleport you to a different location. So, for example, there could be a teleport NPC situated just outside the Adventurer's Guild in each city. Talking to them might allow him/her to teleport you to another spot in the city. Such as for Ul'dah maybe you'll be teleported to the top floor near the Alchemist's Guild. For Gridania you might have the option of teleporting to the center of the city, near the Conjurer/Botanist Guilds, and up near the stalls at the repair NPC. Personally I'm not seeing (Or at least I'm hoping we won't.) them adding a teleport to every guild location in a city. But rather, a quicker access to certain areas that might have seemed a bit too much. Like being able to teleport from one side of Ul'dah, to the other, or up to the Alchemist's Guild which seems oddly placed to begin with. They might even offer this, but at a fee. I can't recall if there was info on it or not, but really, it's a nice feature if you can afford it, or don't and walk the way.

As long as they don't offer free insta-teleports to each city, I couldn't care what they do.

Instant gratification casual bullshit lazy people blah blah blah

I don't get the fuss at all.

If you're not a lazy ass like myself, don't use it. It's not that hard.

hahahahahahaha

i love how this simple little feature that i doubt many people will even use can actually induce rage quitting. its pathetic.

depends on the way its implemented. if people live in their residencies, watching cutscenes, and warping from one area to another all the time, there will be absolutely no life in the already largely dead city states. The only reason you even SEE another person when running through grid or LL now is because they're doing locals or primal runs. take that away and you might as well not bother having city state areas at all. nobody will use them.

however, the chances of it being anything like that extreme in its implementation are unlikely. The Windhurst referrence made earlier on is closest to my personal guess too. But even that it pretty unrequired.

Player base got spoilt. All comes down to "needs" and "wants" though, as stated. So long as the life isn't drained further from the city states, honestly I couldn't care less about this.

So much other fantastic content in that patch.

I don't know about warping, but allowing chocos on certain areas, adding more lifts (non-instanced hopefully, even small airships would make the environment more lively looking.

God, I hope so.

I think you'll warp from your private residence exit, just like in FFXI. I think this will reduce lag in Uldah and help prevent it from crashing as often as it has.

Just don't use it if u don't like it.

I love this. I'm sick of how big the cities are and how long it takes just to pick up a leve from someone else.

Talk about negativity, What is so wrong with adding features for convienance, its all optional, This lets people who like ot get places faster get there, While letting people who want to walk can walk. I am amazed at how many critics a system thats designed to facilitate convience will get

I think it's mostly people complaining for the sake of complaining. Every single patch has had this, and yet people still remain alive. This community needs to grasp the concept that Final Fantasy XIV is a game you play for fun.

+1 intra city travel for getting around limsa, that place is a bloody nightmare to run around.

You're 8 levels from being maxed in everything in the game... I doubt you will quit. Unless you botted (probably) all those crafting levels.

I have to laugh when people say these things.. who you kiddin' son!?

Your posts have gotten more and more whiny. You're just one of those people who can't see more than 2 feet in front of them. Obligatory: If you don't like it, don't use it.

P.S. Reading the 1.21 notes; player housing has some quest associated to it. Granted it will likely be something easy mode to allow for low level accessibility. (INB4 QQ)

The cities only have a few things you actually need to do in them. The adventurer guild for leves, MW/GC zone area, Airshp - that's 95% of what you need to do in cities. These things are pretty close to one another in each city. Regarding the guilds, you have to go to for a few minutes at level 20, 30, and 36 to accept the quests and turn them in. A few scattered NPC quests that you accept one time, and maybe there are a few things you can buy from NPC's for 'slightly' cheaper than you do in the market wards.

Not sure why you complain about traveling faster in them, it might be from one end to the other - maybe see how it works before you RAGE! :D
