Changes to how Anima works in 2.0

Basically what the subject says. I'am desperately hoping for a revamp in some way, shape or form. Anything along the lines of reduction in time it takes to generate fresh anima, amount of fresh anima regenerated per tick, addition of content SOLELY devoted to the replenishment of one's anima supply. Any or all of the previous things will do nicely, but as the system stands now, it needs serious work(Like much of the rest of the game).

Or they could scrap anima and make teleports cost a small amount of gil depending on level of camp.

Lower lvl camp and cities less gil.
Higher lvl camps more gil.

maybe they could explain this by making up lore about a being who teleports us inexchange for offering.

The less content where we are rewarded anima instead of shinies the better.

who is collecting the gil?

can we regard anima as a form of currency for teleporting, with the exception anima is your own life force.

Anima makes about as much sense as my being that collects money in exchange for teleports. Perhaps we have a key item in which we place the gil . Maybe it could like a greedy companion(goblin engineer O_o) whatever .

Anima is limited gil is not which is why i prefer the gil teleport system.

Regardless, theres too much of a limit placed on it IMO. It's far too easy to burn 100 Anima. Riding across these huge zones to do mundane things just plain sucks.

Especially if you do crafting leves.

Not everyone likes scenery/exploring (or at least being forced too.) instead of limiting players they should reward those who explore instead of punishing casual players. GW2 does it pretty well by giving players who complete a zone a chest reward.

Gil teleports will help the economy too by removing gil .

let anima regen slower, let people to buy anima
/random suggestion

crystal to crystal teleports is what i hope for. with returns as per normal.

If it was any slower it wouldn't regen at all.

you can buy anima

I want WHM teleport spells! (I miss Teleport-Dem!)
Could also add a Taru that teleports us to "Outposts" in exchange for Gil or Company Seals or something!
I also want Warp and Warp II!

Well was kidding about that, but i actually think it whouldnt be too bad to add spells, XI wasnt that bad with those teleport and warp methods mixed with OP warps and City-Airships. I miss those times :(

The current teleporting system is cool and all, what with attuning yourself to the crystals like you had to at the crags in XI, but IMO the currency system for teleporting itself is in serious need of an overhaul.....and with an increase in content its going to get even worse. The more traveling you need to do, the more you're going to use your Anima etc. And like someone else mentioned, it's really taxing on a players anima supply if they do crafting leves. Pick up 4-8 leves and then have to port all over the place to get materials and turn them in, then back to the city(Albeit with return) to pick up more and do it all over again. I mean let's be realistic....no one is going to grab 4 leves and then choco out to 2-3 different camps each time....its just silly.

Yes you can buy anima lol - u can buy fish, ores, w/e and turn them in for anima, its buy anima isnt it?

Effectively you can. You can buy the items and turn them in to the hamlet guys and get anima in return.

Teleports whould make it easy! Almost every1 has WHM at cap! and it only spends MP :o
The current system is too limited to teleport, i rather save anima to stuff i gotta rush to and walk than get to 0 anima. Well now with atomos is different, but atomos wont last forever D:
WHM teleports FTW!

On my server no one hardly shows up to Atomos after they reduced it to one spawn at midnight....most i've seen at any single spawning is ~10 people....and it always ends with a wipe...

Same on Hyperion lol, but during JP time its always full and we always win 2-3 atomos per round, that's like for 6-7 nights then it just dies for the rest (mostly NA time it never dies, JP time it dies most of the time).

Anima system is more than fine atm. One can't even call it limiting anymore since you can effectively buy/farm anima through hamlets.

The anima system is pretty ass backwards if you ask me. The only people that anima hurts is casual people. They only log on a hour or two a day and given their limited time, use anima to get around. You can easily run out of anima if you average a use of 6 or more a day without doing hamlet to recharge it. For people who play more often and participate in all facets of end game, like myself, anima is by far the lowest thing on my list of worries. I can easily do a hamlet once a week and get full anima but again casuals are less likely to get into a hamlet than more hardcore players meaning they get the short end of the stick.

I am going to assume that you never played this at launch?

I see us getting less anima in 2.0. Mainly because areas will be smaller and easyer to travel to spots on foot and on chocobo.

Fairly sure anima will remain as is in ARR. Any changes will likely be minimal. They've got something good in place.

The anima system is a joke.

As a WHM, I can probably cast Holy, 1000 times today, but I can only port to 3 different locations, cuz my anima is <12.

For those of you who can't grasp the correlation, MOVE ALONG PLEASE nothing to see here

Hmm, well Anima does have the advantage. However nobody rides the ferry or Airships for that matter. There is too much Anima and for a well balanced economy. YOu must have a good amount of use for things to do. Rent more chocobos, different colors for one. I remember on FFvii that all the chocos were all different colors. What happened? Anima is for kids. Give me a break, I like to ride the land of Eorzea can i teleport to the mall, lol no you cant....Get over it ride or walk. Anima is a bread for you to get somewhere quick, yet this runs out after a few short trips. Limit Anima to ten points. Why have that many? The point is to play and go on the land. Yet who takes the ferry or Airship for that matter? Stop being lazy. I really think the economy is crazy in FFxiv, there is no challenge. What is the challenge??? Its a joke. The whole idea of playing is to survive. Hmm okay so I say to my friend. Can you spare 65000+, hmm damn i have this allready? Make jobs in town only. Dont make the Levequest the most money. The end weapon is ridiculous, also Lv 1 - LV 49 your gonna spend 40,000-max for something, usually occasionally 120,000. But for a End Weapon that is greeen 10000000000000000000000000000000, what??? and 2000000000000000 400000000000000000000 Economy is screwed, lol what is that craziness. hm Cloud Strife weapon Lv 99 oh treasur chest free, Thank God. Remember

Bastok

I've given up ever trying to understand what Bastok tries to say.

I can read the words, but no meaning emerges.

Here's what I would personally love for anima mechanics:

Get rid of anima. Place an NPC at every camp's crystal that charges gil to teleport you to any other crystal in that region(As in, no going from Thanalan to The Black Shroud). You would only be able to go from camp to camp (Including the crystal in town) instead of teleporting from any location. Each camp requires a license before you can port, requiring a quest (or quest line) to be completed, and no porting others to camps they don't have the license for.

This system would promote exploration, create a decent gil sync, not completely invalidate the need for other forms of transportation like trains and ships because they'd still be needed for going from region to region (Or by walking, of course) as well as alleviate the annoyance of running low on anima

God forbid your character has to walk somewhere...or do hamlet for 100 anima.

They have given us multiple ways to recover anima that are very easy and still people bitch about it...
