With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

"Vindictus seems to be the better choice of game for some of these guys. Why did SE make the world map anyway you all wanted to be insta-teled to where you need to be?"

IDK, why'd they make the world map a copy and pasted mess? Why didn't they make a game that was more fun? Chocobos aren't going to make the game fun, they are just a feature that SHOULD have already been in the game at launch. Why should their inclusion mean we will have to spend more time traveling to enjoy content that has been in the game almost a year already?

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.

So spiting casuals is good for the game. Isn't that the reason for the game's current state? Again, the mentality that others must play to your liking and punishing them if they don't is rather counterproductive for a game like this. Luckily the devs are not planning to cater to folks like these for it they do, this game would go nowhere.

Anima should stay. If chocobos and airships would be placed in. I would reduce anima to 50. But thats all what I would did to balance both chocobos and anima travels. :P

I find this to be reasonable not that I've seen myself with more than 10 anima for 30-40days (been playing for 50-60days now)

Like I said somewhere else in this thread and probably got ignored. I'll choose the bird over the Teleport if its not just me watching my character on a bird going to Camp ***** on Auto-pilot. Why, you ask? Nostalgia is why...been more epic for me if say in order to get to Mor Dhona you gotta avoid a HNM named the 'Blue Fog Zolom' (see what I did there)

i posted this on another thread casual does not = don't have time to play.

Well in order to be hardcore the time investment would be higher and much higher than a casual gamer. Being a casual gamer is exactly how you describe but because they don't care about any specific game intimately they would not invest too much time on a game.

Now why people think that they are somehow better because they are "hardcore"? Simply because it makes them feel better about themselves that they are able to invest time in a game more than others and they are aware of the ins and out. Thus the reason hardcore games keep patting themselves on the back and keep looking for ways to be better than the casual gamer by the inclusion of as many timesinks as possible. After all, they have the time investment advantage over casual gamers not necessarily skill.

Don't teleport. And stop caring about what others do in the game because its really none of your concern. Again why are folks so bothered or concern about how others play the game? Someone teleporting because ITS AVAILABLE does not affect you.

Wow. Simply wow. I hope you are not using teleport at the moment because I would hate to think that you are not walking/running everywhere.

I have what I think to be a better proposal, Why not keep anima as is but apply a mild bonus for 85-100anima and a mild "fatigue" (not to be confused with SP/XP fatigue) penalty for 0-25 anima. I think it would fit seeing as Anima is basically our soul or energy that we tap into to port around. The bonus could be as simple as a slight increase in attack speed/power/accuracy, the penalty would obiviously be the other way round.

I think someone came up with something similar but it either got buried or ignored

That would be because - when someone other then YOU uses anima, it does NOT cause anything negative to YOUR gameplay.

There is no reason to stop a player other then YOU from using anima - you, however, should never be allowed to use anima simply because we don't want to, therefore you can't either.

See how silly that sounds? Someone telling you that you can't use anima for no other reason then because we don't want to, therefore you can't either?

ummmm...wtf? Perhaps its not clear enough so im just gonna say it: I do not advocate the removal of the teleports.

Im just trying to find a middle ground to shut both sides the **** up

Edit: also how does my proposal stop people from teleporting? It still gives you the choice of to port or not to port, It does give consequences to your choices

There is no middle ground to be had - Me using anima has no impact on another player's game so there is no reason for me to be restricted from using it.
