With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

[Morticous]

ok not sure what you mean by work i died like 4 times trying to get to nine ivies almost died trying to get to crimson bark but do you mean the anima? also "give the mages teleport" is all you guy thinking back to 11; so i have to ask did you do the quests to get the scrolls or did you just buy them?

I decided to answer this question because it wasn't horrendously stupid. What i meant is instead of just giving us 100 anima, howabout just giving us 30 and allowing us to quest for a larger amount like 60 and the a slightly harder quest 120 even.. It 1. gives us somthing to do in game because now matter how many times you say you would rather kill monsters.. im sick of killing the same monsters over and over so its a suggestion and 2. it helps prevent people from becoming bored quick with the game because im telling you as well as others that its going to happen with this kind of casual playing and unless you are 100% solo player this game will end for us very soon.

I quested all the teleport scrolls, gave me something to do and I felt good after doing it.. I also quested them again to help other people get their scrolls because i saw replay value in the adventure it brought. I also helped people over and over and over complete the promys.. even though they where hard because It was fun and i like the feeling of helping people and making new friends. When everything is zip zip zip it doesn't give us near as much time to make friends and memories.

Its not about restricting your play, its about keeping this game going. im even suggesting more anima... if its quested.. why is this so bad?

I would lawl so much if they release an expansion soon that add like 5 times more areas to the world map, non of which have the anima system. That'd be nice and I'd be happy with that. Then all the 'casual' players who dont have time to explore can just stay where they are, and people that want to go and do things the hard way (like myself, call me old fashioned if you will) can do so in the'real' world.

In all seriousness you are right Dekken, we do not know how it will play out just yet. I'm kinda excited to find out if Anima will make or break the transport system to come.

Haha that would be awesome, hope it comes true!

Nine Ives can be reached if someone else teleports there and your in the party, just like all the other camps. but the discussion is about having to travel anywhere, anytime. It gets boring after a while and will kill the game life quickly. The Teleport scroll in 11 i did them sold them to invest,bought myself a Haubergeon(2004), when i level'd WHM, i bought them back form AH.

ok good to know i was not the only one who cared to do the quest but i did them as a WHM yea i know it was really dumb but i didn't know that you could port someone somewhere they have never been but hey i have no real problem with it but will kill the game only if SE lets it. its something that can be easily designed around all you need to do is have less crystals and more gates.

I just don't see anima breaking the game. In my mind, it would make much more sense to add a mode of transportation that compliments what already exists in the game, rather than change what exists AND add a new mode of transportation. I just figure its a logical time and effort saver. And don't get me wrong, I do like to travel when I have the time to kill, but I had my fill in FFXI. I worked my butt off just so that I could get around as easily as possible (All op warps, kept coins on me for passing through areas, raised a chocobo, always had 1 crag ring, tavnazia ring, and 2 warp cudgels) and so others wouldn't have to wait on me. Also, I could mock the slow people. But there will be those hard to reach places, and I do support that idea, I just don't think the main cities, and some surrounding areas should be included in that category. The world is small in comparison to what It will likely end up being.

Nice idea but the way i see it (to stop that from happening) we may see less main camp and more gates you know like an area where the is just one main camp or small town with a crystal(wishful thinking) and gates spaced quite far apart to make better use of chocobos.

that works too man.. i mean seriously, its just one idea and I thought with the immediate cry out for anima putting together the anima idea would work for everyone.. but it hasnt... im good with that idea too i mean its like an idea i presented a while back (maybe in another post), leave everythign the way it is but new areas will be super restricted from anima or anima wont even work in those areas at all. they could put in a new type of quick travel but since its a harder area dont make it so easy.

Yeah if they were to implement new areas and keep these old area for the anima friendly people that would be nice. Restrict porting in the new area, where things arn't close to a Camp or a Gate and have to travel in order to get to places, this way people would complain less because its too late to take something away it seems, but if something get implemented in a certain way that would be out of the question.

I hate people who always assume 'Casual'=Easy....its 'Casual'=short on time

I know plenty of hardcore players that go to camps they've never been to using someone elses teleports
