Adding West/North/East/etc. to locations during teleport

[Naunet]

Instantanious teleportation as often as I want makes the overworld pretty much pointless why have it at all?

Tough cookies. Teleportation already exists in the game. If you want to try and petition for its removal, then by all means do so, but the matter at hand here is simply the presentation of information for ease of use with a function that already exists in-game.

Please tell me how it would harm you to have the UI adjusted (even as an option) to display the atheryte and aethernet UIs in map form? Or even, as the OP suggested (though I personally wouldn't find it all that helpful), with the extra location textual tags? It doesn't change the fact that teleportation exists. You are still more than capable of memorizing where everything is on that silly little list of aetheryte points. This is a matter of UI design and nothing more.

Well that's the mature way to dismiss the point of my argument you obviously totally missed.

I allready explained how any kind of UI change can directly effect my gameplay experience, as minor as it may be it's a slippery slope to have more and more things "Streamlined" to make them easier to use and eventually you end up with a game you don't play, you just kind of stand there and let it play for you.

UI design is a part of the gameplay wether you want to admit it or not, how we interact with your UI (Let's use hotbars as a example) have massive impact on how "Difficult" content can be, how we interact with content in general, and how we play in general. I'm not trying to be a "Downer" on you guys I'm just explaining my stance on the subject you don't need to be so hostile.

I think the game allready present the information you need for travel in a perfectly fine manner and I'd rather not have it shoved in my face every time I look over my shoulder, that's my stance.

That's what you don't understand, the most simple feature DOES absolutely effect how I enjoy the game. I'll never understand how such a logical fallicy is used all the time as a crutch to a argument.
Making the game hold my hand at every step does effect how I play the game, people having those tools effects how they play the game and how they interact with me. This isn't a single player game where features can be ignored because everyone around me has access to them and unless I want to be at a disadvantage I have to make use of them as well. Instantanious teleportation as often as I want makes the overworld pretty much pointless why have it at all?

Actually... The game has already been holding your hand every step of the way, even without this feature. Now you're the one using a crutch by simply making my suggestion a martyr for your cause. You think that by pointing out how user-friendly and easily accessible everything would be if such a feature were implemented, it would have a drastic effect on how you currently play, when honestly... It wouldn't. You're already being helped by a multitude of tools within the game, making it much easier than a game dating back to pre-2000, basically, so... Your argument has plenty of flaws here.

It really looks like you're trying to simply find an excuse to complain about this. It's honestly hard to take anyone seriously when they're playing a game that has plenty of conventional tools to help with exploration, then want to argue against another tool being added on top of that. You're basically being a hypocrite by complaining about such features, despite playing the game and using them on a regular basis.

I can't enjoy the overworld because I have no reason to explore it and the developers have no reason to use it now that it can easilly be bypassed, seriously impacting how I experience the game.

Not true. You can completely ignore every single aetheryte and travel to every location on foot (outside of using the airship for Garuda and such) if you wanted to. You still have that option. Nobody is forcing you to use the teleportation service. It's simply there to make things easier for the player, so it makes you look pretty silly when you complain about this, yet you use it on a regular basis.

So like I said in the previous post please don't talk down to me trying to brand me as "Hardcore" because I think the feature your suggesting isn't something I would enjoy. I haven't called you "Casual" because you have no time to play. What I don't understand is why you want the game to become easier just because you have no time. How does your timeline effect the fact you can experience the game regardless of how many hours you play.

And like I said in a previous post... Please stop trying to hold this against players if they are unable to see the game through your eyes. Are you really so selfish that you would rather other players do without than to incorporate a minor feature which would have no bearing on your experience at all? God forbid you should have to read "(East)", "(Outer)", etc. after the names of areas to teleport to while you use a means of transportation that you apparently seem to loathe (but continue to use it anyway). Hardcore, casual, whatever. All of that is irrelevant. As I said before... Some people should really try and look at the benefits it would have on the community rather than thinking about themselves and only themselves, much how you're doing.

Instead of thinking, "This would really cramp my style", it should be more like, "Well, I won't really have a use for it, but if it can help others, that's cool I guess." You don't have to agree with it, but just try and put the shoe on the other foot here and imagine if there was something you wanted, but everyone around you was simply telling you, "This wouldn't help me. Why should I care? I'd rather you do without since I'm not going to benefit from this. Screw your ideas." Just some food for thought.

Also, one thing I want to point out here... Just because I have plenty of time to play the game doesn't mean I want to spend a good portion of it teleporting to the wrong location, trying to locate the 'West' part of an area for a hunting log/gathering log/etc. Just because someone has plenty of time doesn't mean they want to use it carelessly.

Were obviously at odds here, I don't try and speak for other people while you do.

If that's your mindset I'll never be able to debate anything with you because you feel you know what's better for others and I can't compete with a omniscient person who knows what's right for the community and everyone at large.

I appreciate your sarcasm while attempting to keep things lighthearted, but I can assure you that I'm not speaking on behalf of the community here. However, I will say that you seem to be neglecting the fact that there seem to be more people supporting the idea than against it in this thread. You have your heart in the right place, but this isn't the place to battle.

You should really choose your battles better, Jynx. If Yoshi-P decides to not implement same sex marriage, then you can get all worked up over that. Something like this though? Nah.

You were making a really big deal out of a whole lot of nothing, honestly. Thank you for your participation all the same though. After all... Where would we be if everyone simply agreed with each other?

I swear it used to tell you what zone was what in Beta Phase 3

They did. No damned idea why they removed this.

[ItzKris]

I completely agree with your suggestion, this should have been in the game in the start.
