[To the devs] Coerthas needs more Aetherytes!

[Johnist]

Coerthas Highlands is such. HUGE map and only has 1 Aetheryte, while a very tiny map like Northern Thanalan has 2 Aetherytes. Please add Aetherytes to Observatorium and Whitebrim.

I want less aetherytes overall.

I agree. The main way to get around in FFXI was to rent a chocobo, or call your own. The lack of travel in XIV is a bit depressing. Any time I need to go anywhere, all I have to do is drop 300 gil and *poof* I'm there.

What happened to WHM teleports, or BLM warps?

Firstly, I think people need to stop comparing this game to FFXI. And if I recall, if you didn't have the warp locations yourself you still paid someone else to port you there otherwise, thats not very different than the system we currently have no? Except everyone can now teleport independently without having to rely on another person to help them do so.

Anyway, I don't think adding another aertheryte in Coerthas would be a terrible idea, but at the same time the world definitely feels really tiny as it is even if you just hop on your chocobo and auto run.

Uh... that's exactly what the Teleport and Return features are. Except now those spells aren't being monopolized by a single job/sub-job combo.

for everyone complaining about too many aetherytes and you enjoy the mindless task of runnining/chocoboing everywhere.. the simple solution is to not use teleport. don't try and say the game needs less of something because you are set in your old ways and have fond memories of running everywhere and artificially padding your gameplay with monotonous tasks.

artificially padding your gameplay with monotonous tasks.

Does fate xping, crafting, grinding for tomes, etc count as monotonous tasks?

The whole point of a MMORPG is to be part of a huge world and become a life form within that world. How is the current world large? You can get anywhere at the click of a button.
Travel time is what makes a world feel large it adds to the experience. Just like scenery and weather it adds to the feel of the game. Travel is not exactly the mindless task you imply it is. Knowing how to get somewhere is part of world knowledge or at least being able to use a map. Teleporting everywhere removes the need of knowing where things are.
I think part of the problem with MMO's these days is many people like the idea of playing an MMO but don't have the patience required to actually play one. Everybody wants everything NOW or sooner.

[Escadora]

Yeah, we need LESS aetherytes. There are enough in the world as it is. It doesn't even feel like an open world because I can teleport everywhere.

Personally I feel that Coerthas needs to be bigger, hopefully western Coerthas zone will be opened up for Shiva and other content.
