[Vent] What you guys think should change on ARR?

Put an aetheryte in vesper bay.

Yes I know you can port to limsa then sail there. This will still cut down on loading screens for your MANY trips there.

Yes, I know there's a throwaway line that the Syndicate didn't put one there because they didn't want to do it unless the scions curried their favor or something. It's just one throwaway line in one of the 2.X patches not a major plot point that would harm the story if taken out. This plot explanation is more a handwave for there not being an aetheryte there than some actually important detail.



Is that the shaving them because ala mhigo thing? Not every highlander, especially a wol highlander who nobody in ala mhigo recognizes from before 2.0, has to be from ala mhigo.

There's a big PLOT reason why vesper bay doesn't have one. Mil tells you this early on. Ul'dah won't put one there unless the Scions become Ul'dahs champions and stuff. The Scions are not tied to any nation and because of that Ul'dah won't let them put one there. It's the reason why they move. It's a plot point.

This is not a 'big plot reason.' This is referenced like one maybe two times and adding an aetheryte there and removing the reference to why one wasn't there is not going to impact the plot. This is a very tiny detail that feels more like a post hoc explanation for why there isn't an aetheryte there rather than the reason the dev team didn't put one there.

It does impact the plot. Remember the scions MOVED from there to Mor because it has the blue port. Yes there were other reasons but the biggest one was because having one there would've meant they were under Ul'dah which is what they didn't want. Yes they can change that, but saying it wasn't a big reason is false.

Either or here's my question. Whats the difference from doing those quest to any other quest in the entire game? All we do is bring a thing to a thing for another thing to unlock door for boss,trial,dungeon,raid to bring items back from said place to person with more things to unlock more things. It's literally the same thing the entire game. And yes I have to bring it to it's basics cause that's what we're doing. I don't understand the hate for that series of quest when things are explained in said quest. Yet people fangirl over other npcs and quest that have you do the same thing. " Here main character do our work cause we can't do it even if our work is right there." All of them do this. All of them. It's why the hate makes no sense to me.
