Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Jobeto-Rin]

You give great replies , long but well written replies. Do not waste your time answering him. Its below you. He asked who is selfish even tho im willing to keep his option? REALLY? that does not even deserve a reply from you. (or anyone esle for that matter.)

DNO, just because "your allowing me" to keep the option, doesn't mean it's not breaking my immersion. It's taking my option to be immersed when you make traveling on an airship optional. I explained it already.

Are you understanding me though? I mean really? Cause it does feel like I'm wasting my time now. Especially since out of all the transportation threads created, not one dev has intervened. lol that sucks

Wanna know why devs don't respond?

Because they read this and laugh loudly saying:
"Why is this person asking us to remove EVERYTHING we're trying hard to put into the game, that has been asked for, for the sake of immersion when every other MMO already has it and they never get some whiney person griping that their mini-map/mount/transport/shoes/banana/hat/low crafting skill/fishing pole is ruining the games immersion?"

THIS is why they do not post in here.

If you want immersion, go dive into a swimming pool.

Hey, I'm not asking to remove everything....

and I can't swim. I don't want to be immersed in death.

Edit:
Ya know what fudge this!

I really hope pvp is implemented, i can't wait for it.

I got a list of people who arses I'm going to put my name on. :P

Since you were semi-nice Konata, I'll make you last.

You keep asking for immersion though. Easiest way to immerse yourself is in water.

You do keep asking for things to be removed though, there is a middle ground to this, it's called 'toggle options'. People who want to keep something for the purpose of practicality or usefullness want some of these things.
People who want to look at a screen without a tonne of clutter can turn them off.
Heck what'd be easier is if they made a simple toggle that turned off the entire UI so you couldn't see anything, no health bar, no mp bar, no mini-map, no action bar, nothing at all, just your character and your surroundings. Would that make you happy then? (and sorry if I sound aggressive typing that, I've got a half-rolled cigarette infront of me demanding I finish rolling it )

Does that mean all swimming pools should be emptied?

I understand you 100% but it makes ZERO sense and your being selfish to add. All i see in your post is "Your immersion" "Your option" "You you you you you you!!!" what about MY immersion??? I do not get immersed being on a boat ride or walking for hours.

Let me give you an exapmle:

My wife (bless her sweet heart) is 100% immersed in harry potter. OMG she loves him, the story, the setting EVERYTHING. I mean i could burn down the house and as long as that potter blu-ray is still playing she is completely immersed.

Me? i hate it. Its the worst movies ever made IMO. When she focred me to go to he movies i played my 3DS, texted on the phone, or slept just to ease the boredom!! (its safe to say i aint immersed in the potter universe lol)

However i love super heroes!!!! when i saw the Thor movie or other great movies this year i was so immersed in that world that time flew by in what i thought was seconds then bam the movie was over!!.

(Do i have to go into how she did not really like the movies? i think you get the point)

SO what im trying to say is STOP with your immersion and realize this is a MMO and lots of people have to get immsered for it to be a successful game. SO OPTIONS to please BOTH sides is the best route to go.

What immseres you does NOT immerse me all the time.

There actually is a button for that.

Yeah, I did miss that thread. Guess I didn't read em all lol

It's all good though! I've argued enough, I'm shuttin up!

I'll see everyone personally on their server when PVP comes out.

Bet that!

Edit: I hope everyone does realize in the end I'm not trying to insult anyone or put anyone down, I actually like debating arguing etc. It's growth of many kinds mainly psychologically (never knew i was an elitist). I love to expand my mind through conversation. I try to respect everyone and I really hope I didn't harm any. See you all in game someday . Or in another transportation thread lol.

I do understand this, I just wish it didn't affect what it does, and no it doesn't sound aggressive.

Damn skippy lol.

I understand you 100% but it makes ZERO sense and your being selfish to add....

My mother is the same way she loves harry potter, I see what your saying though what immerses you won't do the same to me. I still don't like you. :P

I hope they make it cross server. That's a different thread though.

Yeah, I'm hoping they allow you to do the character transfer deal like in ffxi.
Will be so much easier than whooping arse under a different name then revealing who I am, after I make you eat virtual dust. lol
