Petition: Don't allow two home points!

[BrusselSprout]

I care about game balance. It matters.

Do you think I would be taking the airship if they implement this? Hell no.
If they enabled an option to toggle infinite HP on and off, would I keep god mod off when doing ifrit runs for equip and such? Hell no.

Doesn't mean its good design and it doesn't mean it won't ruin that aspect of the game.

Sometimes I chocobo nearly everywhere, ride the airship and the boat because I can and my anima is nearly always at 100. Sometimes I feel like wasting anima teleporting from Uldah to Horizon. You can have it both ways, you know.

TL;DR: people are going to play how they want and this is not nearly as big a deal as your blood pressure would indicate.

A lot of people use airships. The one in uldah always has people waiting.



It seems pretty clear in that japanese translation.

Set Inn in gridania.
Set HP in uldah.

Want to go to the inn in uldah? Return to uldah, then walk to the inn.
(Works the other way around too)

Yes that was the example they gave, do you think once the Inn HP comes about you can only set your Aetheryte HP in towns and you won't be able to use camps anymore?

[Majidah]

- Yes and it will still be available and used in the situations where a teleport can't get the job done (i.e. getting to a third city, and a fourth when Ishgard is opened)
- Here comes the bulls**t blanket "stop liking what I don't like" term
- They will still be available, this will not stop devs from doing this
- And... they will still be available to use when teleports don't cut it. And fyi, new gil sinks can always be created.

I didn't ask you to type a counter argument to what I replied.
You asked for me to tell you why you should give a rat's ass that airship travel is dying. I did.
Now you tell me how allowing to set your home point in two different cities won't render airship travel useless.

And I felt that your points were not strong enough to justify me giving a damn if airship travel becomes useless, never mind that half were flat out uh-pinions or wrong. I still don't care about airship travel dying.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how allowing to set your home point in two different cities won't render airship travel useless.

There are more Atherytes than the cities.

I'll use myself as an example. I spend most of my time in Limsa Lominsa so my Inn home point will be there. My LS tends to focus on one event at a time till we have it mastered. So in this case we'll say we're focusing on Cutter's Cry -- just for the example. So I set my other home point at Camp Blue Frog.

Now I can quickly gt to and from town and a main event without hassle. I'll still use the airship for getting to Ul'dah or Gridania and can reserve my Anima for getting to my desired farming/gathering area and finally chocoing out to camps to deliver DoH leves.

See? All major forms of transportation accounted for. Just making one tiny aspect (i.e. getting to and from a single event) a little less time consuming.

Rokien I always like seeing your threads... always makes me smile reading everyone's posts lol

You are a god damned moron. I gave you reasons to care, I didn't say you'd care. I was polite enough to indulge you in justifying this to you first because I knew you weren't smart enough to find a valid justification. Thanks for proving this to me.

This is actually a sound argument. ^
I don't agree with the idea of being able to teleport for free to camps, but that's personal taste.

One good idea would be to make "Return" cost AP itself (or does gear damage by a significant amount if you have no AP).

[Riaayo]

This is absolutely absurd. Maybe if people in this community put their time towards asking SE for actual challenges rather than tooth and nail crying for unnecessary inconveniences they think make the game difficult, we would have a decent game by now.

Nobody cried about waypoints or town portals in Diablo 2. Nobody said that it made the game too easy to get around quickly. Quick travel times in WoW doesn't make it easier, nor has teleporting made 14 easier. Outposts and White Mage teleports did not make content in 11 easier. All they did was let you get to the actual things you want to do in a more timely fashion than taking 30 minutes to run out to it. There's NO point in it taking forever.

Yes, SE, give us 2 home points. That is great and I love it. My ability to return to the city and somewhere else does not make it easier for me to kill Chimera.

Want a harder game? Go make a petition thread to hotfix Chim's Voice of the Dragon to damage everyone in the area passed a certain point, not just in a thin ring that you can stand outside of. There's some actual difficulty addition for your game.

[mikefmc]

my god, im gonna make a game for you called "ease fest" the amount ease will have no bounds. and anything seen to be even the slightest bit of a drawback will be fixed immediately.

you astound me. you really do.
