Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Jynx]

right so a direct quote from you is out of context. ok cool w/e im pretty much done with you anyway.

You are aware that's not my only post in this thread right? Keep up with the conversation or don't be suprised when you find out your not even responding properly in the first place.

If you don't feel like responding to my posts because you "Don't get it" feel free to not respond hell you can put me on an ignore list for all I care. I'll still respond to your posts when and where I can, it's suprising how insulted you seem when someone challenges your point or lack thereof.

I have no beef with you or your arguement I'm just putting my point across. Don't be mad bro.

It would be another case if boatride we have now is fun and has something on it.

I think the main point is that I would rather them focus on making the boatride fun and have something on it, before adding the option to skip it.

I'd rather they add airships when there is actually content to do on them, instead of adding them now for no good reason and then plopping the content in afterwards. I want a world where skipping the ride is something you might want to reconsider.

Lack there of? dude read the thread more people agree with me then you. Your assuming all content will be easy because of a Airship ride... thats whats stupid here not anything esle.

to argue that they make us run camp to camp ...or why not of had 1 city, or even we got the anima system, don't work. it for one dont' matter if they making us run camp to camps, the truth of the matter is, the game didn't even launch with quests, it is safe to say they hashed out what ever they could just to keep us busy as much as possible cause lets face it ...the game was empty.

also the 3 city thing came from ffxi so i guess they wanted to stick with it, and it is great for story making and options (options we dont' really have much of at all ...unlike ffxi, reason is stated above) also most games i have played only have 1 very huge city ...granted there games are usually nothing i have been able to play more then a year b4 quit, it was for certain not cause i didn't have to run city to city or jump on a boat afk for 5mins a few times a day.

i'm not looking for anything handed, i had 700days of gameplay in ffxi. i play all day in ffxiv too. i want it as grueling as it can get, fact more so then anyone else most likely lol. ...well not that grueling i still don't think i want camping nm's all day over killing all day for them in some way. but that gets ride of afk peoples all day and bot claims. so maybe do want it more. lol. any way ..boats ain't hurting it at all. i kinda a broken record on this. it connects 3 cities they really needed to have connected, the time it takes for them to add new content and transports that would of killed the use of boats anyway. all it does is save anima for the mostly used part.

truth be told ...if devs made the game correctly who don't think the crystals are what should of gave the leves? or a npc at each camp? why go to stupid adv guild to reget anyway. (though they are finally add 99leves at same time, i still not sure if that means keep needing to go to city again or can redo from crystal? anyone have that answer?)

it is not a balance or game killer or immersion killer, it just saves people with little or lots of time, ..a lot of time. again ffxi had waaaaaaaay easier porting then ffxiv does, and so do every mmo out there. from scrolls to whatever else they have in them. they all make u only get to places once, maps open as u run threw them things like that ..then done. enjoy the rest of your stay.

then guess what new content comes out!!! and we get to do it all over again, run to those places and learn them. the game is empty folks, we would of probably had tons of new transport and stuff if game didn't fail to launch.

Dude.. The point is, and i re-iterate other players concerns, it is dumbing down the game, whether it's 5 mins or not.
I am not confused. There is obviously multiple aspects to this issue, whether it's immersion or game-balance or whatever else the case may be.

What's your big idea?

No the point is Dude you are over reacting to a airship ride. This does NOT dumb down anything. Your assuming it will and you are wrong. Read my sig. Its what happens every update and when this update is added you will soon see NOTHING has changed.

You are confused there is NOT multple aspects to this it is simple. You can skip a CS.. that is it.

You do know creating a new instances for the airship that simulates the world takes time? There will be more angry people that are still playing out there if they decide to delay the airship further than just immersion-loving-players? and why is there a difference if they decide to put skipping later or now? if the content that is going to be implemented isnt worth it, people will skip anyway even if skipping option is to be implemented later on.

Say.. out of curiosity, and i did read you sig before you told me to do so and i found it interesting.
I'm wondering, if they brought a new patch removing the instaport, would you have gotten over it fast?

[Xianghua]

Once again you are confusing time with difficulty . Traveling faster does not make the game instant easy mode.

Please stop using the "by your logic" people. Do you even realize that can be used both ways? Its a stupid concept to base any argument over. Do you even know why MMOs last a long time? Its not because of taking 10mins more to travel. Its because of well thought out content and Successful expansions. the more content they keep adding the longer the game will survive. WoW, EQ, and FFXI all would be dead right now if they didn't add the expansions to them. Other words saying that parts of the base game of an MMO is what keeps it going for 10 years is really ridiculous.

Some of your biggest flaws are your flawed assumptions and constantly using the "By your logic". Just because someone wants this doesn't mean they want EVERYTHING to be the same.

I love peanut butter. I eat it anytime i can. On some fruit, on some Veggies, with cookies, and with many things. to me it goes great with many things. But does that mean I want or think everyone should eat peanut butter with everything? of course not.

The way airships are currently they don't serve any express purpose they are just being added to be added, I know it takes time but I'd rather them worry about content instead of putting something in the game to do absolutly nothing we can't allready do.

I said it before ports should have just been dropped to 0 from city-city for the time being if thats the only reason they are putting the airships in. I'd rather see the airships arrive with something to do on them than just be there.

It seems to me that you are confused about me being confused.
Option of skipping CS, i.e insta port will... nevermind, i've written enough posts about it. you can scroll up.

plus why would they give us insta port and take it away, they would of waited to add the boats fully done if anything. se knows not to give people something that big and then just rip it from them. like giving us double the anima rather then half. it is here to stay if u ask me and we pretty much got 50pages of pointlessness. lol most pages are the same like 5-10people too><
