Theres a thing called anima

[Sontawila]

At OP, you have no idea what you are talking about, maybe you play everyday but does not mean you "play" everyday and have 90 Anima left.

Please stop wasting everyone's time with this ridiculous topic that will never get a common agreement among players. Bottom line:

1- Until there is another way of transportation (teleports) airships ride need to be short or non existent
2- Scenery might be nice for the first 1 zillion time but enough is enough
3- If you wanna enjoy the game your way then by all means go about walking between point A and point B but don't expect that people will agree to waste their time for your or others amusement. We have other things to do that we rather invest whatever short time we have between work and family to actually play the game not gog at something for even 5 min (not counting the wait time for the arrival and departure of the ship)

The argument that instant is necessarily because walking takes too much time is not really valid. Walking takes 20 mins a normal airship ride would take 3-5 mins. That is already a massive short cut. There is not need to bring it down to instant because you already have anima for that.

Chocobos will reduce anima use by eliminating the need to port to any camp level 30 and under.
A regular airship would reduce anima use by eliminating the need to port from town to town.
Return already allows you to get to the place you use most without using anima

Those three things alone will cut your anima use in half. There is no need to make airships instant because you will have the anima to spare from now on if you desperately need to get to a town instantly.

I would also like to add that the airships in FFXI only took so long because you actually had to wait for them to arrive and take off. That problem is eliminated by simply making airship constantly run rather than once every 12 minutes.

First of all, you have no idea what your talking about. I'm not wasting anyone's time its your CHOICE TO READ AND REPLY. Just like its my choice to ride the ship, ride chocobos, never use anima again. If you would have read other posts of mine on here, you would have seen that "option to ride" will be taken away, BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH THOSE WHO WAIST THEIR TIME. You even said it yourself, pretty much. I also said make the boat ride 1min long. At max that's a 3min wait. One minute for the ride, one minute for the depart wait, one minute for the wait of the ship to get there. People have no excuse about "NO ANIMA TO TELE" Chocobos just like ^ the guy said before(Kiote) me and what I've stated as well, it will cut anima by a ton. I'm asking for a working world, not some physic defying mess.

You "long airship ride for everyone" people amuse me. You are going to be given the oportunity to take a long airship ride while others that choose not to will have that choice also.


If you want a long airship ride, take it. Other than that STFU and mind your own business about what other people are doing.

Ok, tell that to the people who will be sitting around for me while i ride there.

lolkien: Last single player game I tried to play that had anything resembling legwork was that crappy zelda where you rode a boat for hours. Didn't bother with it after that.

zenaQQ: I play the game to have fun. Good for you to have so little of a life that you play it to kill time.

[Viridiana]

i love this answer lol. adding insta travel is part of a slippery slope LMAO. its so wrong its funny lol

Well, inasmuch as a slippery slope is usually considered a fallacy, I'm not sure it's actually wrong, per se.

It's not about worrying about what other people do.. it's how this game is changing and bending to these types of people. How thick could you get?

How dare them make the game fun for people who have a life!!!!

You sir don't know the definition of life.

As Iv stated before there wont be an option. People will always take the easier route, no matter what. How about you and I party up and you have to wait for me anyways? I then will be wasting your time not SE. People will complain to the people who do want to ride the ship and in the end those people will cave in so they have people to play with. So, maybe you should change your diapers when you still can't do anything while your waiting on us. Also really Adult Diapers? Seems like your getting kinda butt hurt over nothing as well with that shrewd comment.

yoshi P! make the airship ride as long as the ferry ride, or 4 minutes longer. end of it.

there should be no option to skip it /thread.
