[dev10??] Please allow Teleportation only at an Aetheryte

[DeadRiser]

As long as they don't implement it until there are chocobos and airships. I do find teleporting anywheres to be lame and there is no sense of travel anymore

SE Dev team, please ween us off of this "Jumper" ability and limit it's use to only around an Aetheryte.

I can't speak for everyone but I've been spoiled by it.

Treading to our crystallized wonders won't kill us plus they're already positioned in the right places.

Make us at least work for where we have to go.
Initially, you'll hear grumps; In the end we'll appreciate everything more.

Edit:
I should state I'm not asking to get rid of anima/teleportation. I just believe it's beneficial for us and the game to actually make the aetherytes the only place where you are allowed to use anima/teleportation.

This change would be especially ideal for when other means of transportation are available. Airships, Chocobos, Boats. Limiting it as such keeps the usefulness in these alternate means.


Variously valuable ideas were also mentioned as an alternate way we use our anima.





Please hear us out SE, these ideas are ropes that would make climbing this mmorpg mountain a bit more enjoyable and challenging.

Great idea.

They definitely need to do something to make using anima less useful and make people walk/run more often.

Just wanted to say +1 and that I think this suggestion is good for the game itself, especially when other mean of transportation will be available. It also make more sense that to use the crystal network you actually HAVE to be at the crystal.. not just magically transport yourself.

Also I added Aetheryte and Teleport system as tags to this thread.

Thanks Perrin, I didn't know which dev tag to use, none seemed relevant to this topic. Unless I missed out on a dev tag.

I agree with OP on using Aetheryte, though I think I would prefer something along the lines of:

*Remove Anima cost for teleportation and accessible only at Aetheryte crystals/gates
*Put a recast timer on "Return" ability, longer if used when not KO'd
*Increase further risk for death (i.e. penalty) - increase return recast timer when KO'd
OR
*Return command returns player to home nation

There's a few inter-related systems to consider...I certainly don't envy the dev team's position! SP loss for a death penalty seems an unfair timesink in a game that aims to never end...and Gil loss is a timesink by extension.

The penalty can't really be something that takes too much back from a player's efforts, so I went with home nation....though any way you look at it, the player has to lose something in order to deter the desire to throw oneself at tough or multiple adversaries!

I feel the current format is a bit of a luxury we could do without.

I like that this thread is doing well, I expected some disagreement going away from a simple form of transportation, but most of you are thinking like me

I brought this topic up during beta, and the first thing I said as I was doing CoP in XI with my LS was something like, "You know FFXIV will let you teleport where and when ever you want at any rank and class?... I think that's stupid they should just make teleportation available at aetheryte camps and cities, it's like I was born with magical fairy disappearing powers." then someone brought up that jumper movie too, lol.

But seriously, I'm sure the local team is reading this thread already. It's a matter of them sending Yoshi the translation and post and waiting for an answer.

I hope so, I'd really like to know the direction it's going.

Bump! This needs to be done!

Do it SE!

I agree about the jumper thing, the second a new friend logs in, he can just jump on my teleports to all the camps free of charge and never have to worry about adventuring out to get them himself. Where is the adventure/fun in that? =/
