Too Weak To Be Worthwhile - Teleporting

[DeadRiser]

I love how these people are saying this isn't a big deal, just some QQing going on...

Well honestly, we have about 5 different threads on this one topic, and it looks to be a 50/50 on each side. Yeah it's a big deal.

I remember I got teleported to my R46 mission in Mor Dhona by a friend. It's kind of funny that you can bypass such a huge amount of the world ... and for the final story mission no less.

It's a little anticlimactic.

Wait a minute. For all you guys who are saying getting nodes isn't challenging, have you actually tried to walk to all the nodes? I mean all of them, not just the leave locations.

I can tell you that I have tried most and there is nothing easy about quite a few of them. For some nodes you need at least two full parties, everyone having raise and chainspell, and a lot of time on your hands.

i've heard alot of them are challenging as well, bigger thing is that after you spent a day getting to them all, everyone else will spend a second porting there from you or another lol. ..yeah u'r choice? lol w/e i wouldn't waist a minute doing anything in a game everyone else isn't doing and i'm sure most are the same. they should bring back the idea's from ffxi for this part of the game. personally i'm tired of choices, there should only be one way about each thing even if there are both ideas in the game for 2 diff things. ...


but i don't have problem with no boat ride, instant ride is awesome ...sorry that is just a waist of time, first times are not, doing things 1-2 times is enough, then getting to do things a little more easier is cool. earn it then deserve it. run once, that is all, we play mmo's for years not 2-3months. witch is probably the amount of time waisted on riding boat by time u quit a 5year run><

i ran there and got a bunch of the ath locations. I dont know why al the people that hate anima are mad at the people who like it. You dont have to use it if you dont want.

you got your friend to teleport you and complain ho it ruined you experience.

after 1.19 i wouldnt mind if they eliminated the smaller nodes as teleport locations, but i dont care if they leave them either. with chocobos i wont use them.

It's not that, would you people pay attention to what people are saying? People are going to teleport and insta port via airship everywheres and finish the little content we have now more quickly. Doesn't give a big incentive on traveling, and also shows that they are catering to the "I don't have enough time to play and walk" crowd. Your playing an MMO, you play when you can to waste time. Seriously.

Teleporting should have increased anima since we are having atleast 5 ways to travel. Walking, Chocobo, Airship, Ferry, and later Caravan. There really shouldn't be a need for teleports after 1.19, unless it's for a quick meetup or anything.

Ehm, no?
Players can't teleport directly to the nodes (if they are the smaller camps. I don't know the right name). The teleport to the nodes are only available with a main aetherit. You must to run to the nodes first and you can't teleport another players to them.

You run to Halitali, touch the node and then you can teleport Camp Skull Valley <---> Halitali with the Aetherit/Node menu (cost 1 Anima).

Getting to any level relevant node is a walk in the park there are only like 6 that are pretty much impossible to get too without a massive death train due to forced encounters with rank 90 monsters.

Otherwise getting the nodes is pretty much a 2 minute stroll from your nearest camp. Now if you had to actually go to each camp your damn self before being able to warp to it...then yeah thats some sort of slight challenge that I'm sure a good chunk of people would Q-Q about as well.

You can't please everyone, to the people who say "I Haz optionz!" Being able to skip that much content on a whim really does effect it for players on the other side of the fence. Sure I can walk, but where is the sense of accomplishment when I really could have just had Joe-Blow teleport me, and everyone else has the camp allready because of the "Options" they have.

I can't say F-YEAH! I just got the Mor-Dhona camps guys, nobody is going to say "Allright man! Thats a rough trip!" they are gonna say "...so?"

There is no sense of reward for doing anything when there is a silver platter sitting beside you with the thing your laboring to get, everyone else gets it for free but you worked hard for it...why? This is why such easy-outs for the "Casual players" (I'm still doubting the validity of these casual players claims for the most part) makes any sense of accomplishment hollow.

Would a Rajas ring feel just as cool if you talked to a quest NPC and you had these two options?

A: Time to start a series of quests that will make you beg/cry for mercy but when you finally finish them *Open shiny gold box* You get this! (Present Rajas ring)
B: Yo dawg, I heard you like rings so we put this Rajas ring in a ring for you to wear while you ring. (Gives Rajas ring)

Game needs a sense of accomplishment right now their isn't much to really strive for.

ANYONE who thinks anima should stay is a total imbecile. end of discussion.

Anima should stay. It is a very valid means to bring in casual players. That is a simple fact.

This does not mean that players shouldnt have to work for that reward. We have a very vast world that is for the most part fairly impressive. Allowing players to simply skip the whole journey by having a friend teleport them around is unacceptable.

Leave the teles, require the walk.

I would even be semi ok with the instant airships if there was some kind of work to be done for that privlage. And I do not mean a single quest that gives you full access. I mean each port requires you to complete some task to gain access to it. Like getting a passport or something for EVERY port.

I say give them chocobos instead, rank 10.

Get rid of anima.
