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

[Perrin_Aybarra]

Yes I understand the english language well and it's "general you". :P

Also, I didn't know that people could exploit the system that way. I would have to say that is a bit of a cheat. I always thought you had to go to the crystals first before you could tele. I didn't know that someone else could have the crystal and you could catch a ride on.

Sadly yes, and not considered a cheat since the game lets you do it :/ I understand the need to make transportation casual friendly and less time consuming, but this is exagerated.

Hehe and for the "you" thing, you have no idea how many times I had angry replies from people thinking I was assuming how "they" played so I just thought I would specify from now on lol

I am for keeping this game casual friendly (at least when it comes to new storys and such), however just handing them the crystals for teleportation is a bit much...You miss out on the initial adventuring at first I think. I still want my insta teles >.>;

Can't we all just get along T_T

As soon as they stop trying to make sure players who enjoy the anima system can't use it as it is right now, you bet.

I'm just going to say that as of right now my new target in life is to MAKE SURE that I ruin your entire gaming experience because if I'm going to be blamed for doing something, I might as well be doing it.

Wow...gamer rage! GAMER RAGE! All over the boards! LOL

I never once said your intentions were to do it, I said stop.

Just because you don't mean for something to happen when you do something that will cause something to happen, doesn't mean it won't happen if you continue to do it.

I get along with well articulated people even if their opinion differ from mine. What I don't like is crying people who think everyone and the world is against them and that we are just there to impose stuff and a way of playing to them.

Which is not the case.

Improving a flawed and half-assed transportation system =/= imposing a way of playing. We just want a more polished game that doesn't scream "rushed". Adding the teleport system at X level through a short quest with cutscenes and some lore tied with it would actually benefit the game and the experience in itself, adding more content and more fun. Having to get the nodes before teleporting them also adds to the fun and exploring of the game, which is a much a part of playing an MMO than doing other things.

Being able to teleport from anywhere could remain if it was explained how it could be possible when doing that quest at level 10 (i.e.).

Also, this comes down to when other mean of transportation will be made available like airships and chocobos. Why waste time on inplementing them if anyways we will teleport.

I'm sorry Crica, but since I've been following this post (When it was on page 15 I think.) Your comments have been nothing but vapid, sensationalistic, and a bit fanatical.

No one is arguing for the complete eradication of anima and teleporting in this thread (that's a different thread, and by all means, go be a fanatic over there.)

I'd even go so far as no one is trying to dictate how you should be playing the game. Some of us are even suggesting ways of making the experience richer.

I love the suggestion of needing a quest to access aetheryte teleportation, or quests to increase the amount of anima available to a person.

I'm also in favor of negating the ability for new players to be warped to crystals they've not personally visited before.

I don't think requiring we be at a crystal or a node is as big of an inconvenience as you are making it out to be. And even if you want to pretend that it is, my suggestion on page 15 was to make it more expensive if you aren't at a node... that way players can weigh the time the have available with how much anima they can/will spend to get to where they need to be.

But it's your constant barrage of denials that are causing good ideas to be overlooked, and instead of having a healthy debate about people's suggestions, about what is good or what is less good, about what could work or what would be too much of an impediment, everyone is responding to your moaning and bitching about how any change at all is people walking over your freedom to completely bypass content you decided you don't want to experience and to warp to wherever you want whenever you want as a rank 11 pug.

And even if you want to pretend that it is, my suggestion on page 17 was to make it more expensive if you aren't at a node... that way players can weigh the time the have available with how much anima they can/will spend to get to where they need to be.

All you said I 100% agree with and I also think that all these suggestions only make the experience richer.

I stress that quote because I think this is a very good idea as well. A casual who doesn't play often wouldn't see much a difference if the cost was more expensive when not at a node because he doesn't play as much so he doesn't run out of animas as quick and they have time to recharge in between their use. This increased cost mostly "hurt" hardcore players who plays for a big amount of time in one seating and they have to make the choice of spending 5min to walk to a node to lower the cost (and 5min to them wouldn't be an issue) or to teleport right away at an increased cost.

I like that, and anyone with a little reason and common sense would see how it doesn't "impose" anything on you, it just favors the teleport system for casual and restrict it for hardcores. Which would be fine I think since there will be other means of transport that they can use even if they take a little bit longer.
