I dont know if anima will stay or be replaced but either way i dont think it makes sense that we are alowed to be ported by a friend to areas weve never had to walk to first. You should only be able to accept a port to an area that you have visited before in the past. No need to be in a rush all the time.

At least they made it so you can only go to the smaller nodes if you have visited them. I just wish there was more of a reason to go to those.
-
03-26-2012, 05:30 AMRowyneI agree with this. Even WoW doesn't let you take a flight path unless you've run there and discovered it, first.Quote:

Another anima thread? Leave it alone people! If you don't want to be ported to a camp you haven't been to before fine, don't do it. Don't try and ruin others gaming because of what you want. I've helped countless low leveled players get to Mor Dhona to do their main storyline mission and being able to just teleport them there was a great thing because I would have had to run them there on foot through the Shroud.
Since most of these people that I've helped came on late at night just before I was heading to bed, I was able to get them there and mission done quickly and go to bed with happy thoughts of helping someone! I've been to the node before and since the person is in my party, I am giving that person some of my link to that node to them so they can get there and fully attune to the node themselves. That is how I see it.
Now can we please stop with these anima threads? Post in one of the 100 other anima threads! -

Just stop doing this thread. People like being able to get camps in hard to reach places. If you don't want to do it that way then don't but stop trying to get SE to make it suck for the rest of us. I have helped several players who tried to get to Mor Dhona via the land route but kept getting killed by the aggro and I was able to port them directly to the camp and that's how it should be.

03-26-2012, 06:43 AMDziani don't see a problem with it. it's like taking a taxi. get off a plane catch a taxi to your hotel. the driver knows how to get there, you don't need to.Quote:

I've been saying this since release

03-26-2012, 06:55 AMJinkoAgreed, in 2.0 we are getting maps which fill in as we discover them supposedly, I'm assuming there will be achievements for that as well.Quote:

A lot of changes are coming, I agree about you shouldn't get teleported to a crystal you haven't attuned with though, guess time will tell what their plans are for that. -
03-26-2012, 07:03 AMYoruichi4478I totally agree. Thank you for adding your thoughts about it^^Quote:

It does seem a bit strange to me, being used to the complexity of having to have visited Telepoints in this game's predecessor. But I suppose I understand both sides of this coin.

I love the "Stop ruining our game" posts. Either way your going to piss in someones cereal.
-
03-26-2012, 10:00 AMMajidah
they should make it so that you can't get the telepoint if someone ports you to a new area. like, okay, you can be ported, but if you wanna get the port you have to walk all the way yourself

AND- there are just as many post defending it. Just read these argument and see if you can get a point out of them.
I'll sum it up for you:
"QQ, I don't like it that ppl can teleport where ever they want without walking there first! Because (insert random excuse why the entire player base should be asked to waste their precious free time just GETTING somewhere instead of completing game content: here). "
"Hey, you can only teleport to roughly 1/10th of the teleport locations without first having to visit them yourself. And lets not forfget, Another player has to take you there first! You can't just INSTA WARP WOoooooO, strait out of tutorial.
I am tired of being nice on this one.
Guys. I have a life, I run a business, I have a child, a beautiful woman, hobbies, other games to play etc etc. I still choose to spend my free time enjoying this wonderful past-time. But please stop calling for pointless limitations that do nothing but waste the free time of those who have little. Enjoy the game your way, explore till heart is full of joy. Walk from one end of the virtual planet to the other if it makes you happy, please, enjoy yourself (that would make me happy ). But stop asking me to be forced to do it.
If you want to walk NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU! :mad: -
03-26-2012, 03:22 PMMorticousIm sick of being forced to fight ifrit to get his weapons.. i sick of being forced to sign in to play this game.. im sick of having to hit a button to get my sword out..... stop whinning. at what point will you figure out what your saying is stupid? Why bother even being forced to buy the game when you could just you tube it? And why be forced to youtube anything on your own when somone could do it for you? Im sick of being forced to randomly come acrossed your post by some higher force!Quote:

It helps new players out. I've hated telling friends I'm introducing to the game "Yeah, you have to run to all these crystals first." They didn't play very long after that. Then I found out I could've just ported them there.
Maybe in 2.0, when the maps are worth exploring. But for now I see no issue. -

Maybe they could put a "starter fee" of anima on any teleport where you're going to a new aetheryte you've not been to...
-
03-26-2012, 05:53 PMMintieActually... ever since cataclysm you don't need to have visited the flight path before. Didn't bother checking if anyone mentioned this in the thread.Quote:

Maybe you'll take a day of gameplay in getting to the aethers instead of leveling. Geez. Where does it say that playing an MMORPG must be grinding 24/7? Take a chill pill. Its not going to kill you to take a day off your repetitive MMORPG activities to do something different you are only required once to do and while at it see the world that has been designed for you.

Do not accept freakin teleports to places that you have not been before.
ITS THAT SIMPLE. -
03-27-2012, 12:44 AMRuisu
Remember in FFXII where you ported to a crystal with a new party member you just got? (example, Ashe or Penelo)
You ported to the Giza pla-WAIT A MINUTE BUT ASHE HAS NEVER BEEN TO THE GIZA PLAINS SO I SHOULD HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY BACK OVER THERE AND HAVE HER TOUCH THAT TELEPORT CRYSTAL.
That would be pretty annoying, don't you think? Besides most of the in game world now is just copy/paste anyways. Why do you care what we do? -
03-27-2012, 12:47 AMMychaelUm. Do you give the controller to your friend when you play with Ashe or Penello? K, didn't think so. YOU still had to go there once. If your friend did indeed play each time you used a different character, I would say it's a shame they never ran it.Quote:

03-27-2012, 12:40 PMRuisuOkay, you knocked out two of my three points. So answer this last one. Why do you care what we do? Why is our teleporting of any relevance to you at all?Quote:

But that's more of a problem with the foolproof questline (I mean seriously, I don't think you *could* die in most of those missions!)
Also, if the 2.0 maps are as beautiful as they're promised to be and not made to hamper travel (the tubes of the Shroud and awkward rock formations every 3 feet in Coerthas), it'll be a good idea to have people explore them because there's a good chance it'll be the only time the ever do.
If I was on the dev team, I would go back to the "supply missions" like in XI. Another player can teleport you around, but you have to accept a "mission" before journeying to the Aeth. Accepting a teleport you can't initiate will cancel the supply mission(s) you're on. So you have to run there just once before you can tele yourself (and so you're not always bumming teles), but can still accept the teleport to avoid /pcmd kick over not being able to accept the port. -
03-27-2012, 02:24 PMMorticousIts not that I think your time should be ruined... It brings a little more longevity to the game (a combination of these things need to happen) and therefore keeps playing the game longer.. i guarantee you if teleporting wasn't so easy right now everybody wouldn't have finished with EVERYTHING nearly as quick.Quote:

A flight point is manned by a single level 85 NPC, most often elite. They are known as flight masters. Prior to Patch 4.2.0, a flight path must first have been "discovered" by visiting an area's flight master, who would grant access to their flight point's route. Since 4.2.0, however, players will automatically learn flight paths for areas that are level-appropriate for them. The option still exists to track down those that are higher level the old-fashioned way. If a flight master has a flight path to teach you, a green ! will appear above his or her head, and the flight master will appear as a ! on your mini-map. Source
Still, exploration achievements in WoW aren't completed by collecting flight paths, but by unlocking the map (which is done by running around the zone), and some places cannot be reached without a personal flying mount. In FFXIV, exploration achievements are completed by attuning with aetheryte and other players can teleport you right to them. -

Why should MY experience be dumbed down just because others don't want to spend the time exploring? You can say "just don't teleport", but when the game is built around it, others expect you to take the easiest way through things so you don't waist THEIR time. This is an MMO after all
...Now, I'm not saying I support the above view point, just playing devil's advocate. I do believe, however, that once the world redesign hits, a greater emphasis should be put on world exploration -
03-27-2012, 06:40 PMMeleena
If someone finds that he hinder other players time by not accepting teleports to places that he has not been visited before then he should take time and visit the damn places when he plays solo instead of looking for parties that will teleport him there.
After he visits every place in Eorzea THEN he can start partying.
An don't tell me this is impossible, THEY are the ones that believe that teleporting is a minus, so THEY are the ones that SHOULD suffer like this istead of their friends that are willing to take them there for free.
This shouldn't even be a debate, its common sence, you dont want to get there easily?
You go and do it the hard way.
