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

[Reika]

which brings me back to my original point. once the other means of transportation are put in place there will be an argument for that, but not at this point.

you know things like the actual airport for the airship or stables for the chocobo. at this point you can walk if you wish to do so which is what i mostly do, but for those that are limited on time them being able to port where they need to go fast does nothing to hurt your game.

if you want to walk to the node to port so it feels right to you or you want to walk everywhere that is personal preference.

Also, once alternate transportation modes are put into effect, maybe teleporting can be dummed down completely, as far as to only allow returns and not teleportation, or greatly increase the cost of teleportation.

Bad thing is, everyone is already far too spoiled by the teleportation system XIV has. If it were never like this in the first place, I am sure people would have adapted. We just have to be prepared to make the transition into a system that would have been a better and more MMOish start.

Then why change it? If you have to step to a crystal to teleport, which are so abundant, then there really is no difference is there?

Because it is bad that they did it like this in the first place. Who is really going to use chocobos and airships if teleporting doesn't change? you'd just be able to teleport from Ishagard to wherever there is a node, wherever to wherever there is a node. The new modes of transportation will hardly get used by anyone who doesn't do a lot of non-instant travel anyways.

So, you defend the OP's suggestion against players who are arguing that there should be no more restrictions and verbalizing their fears of time sinks and FURTHER restrictions only to ultimately suggest something you just defended wasn't being suggested. ORZ!

Yes I am defending the op's suggestion that teleporting should be changed...

Why even cry for chocobos and airships and all these modes of transportation if there wont even be a reason to use them?

I still think my idea of removeing a bunch of aethecytes per area is better than the OP's as well.

Don't think you understood the statement, but that's alright. I agree though that maybe there should be some more restrictions once chocobos AND Air Ships are implemented. However, that wasn't incorporated within the OP's suggestion. It was just a little more hoop jumping for no apparent reason. When reasons later came, they were all things that could be be worked out without using his suggestion. The more legitimate argument is the one you just brought up along with many other people throughout the thread.

yes, it is something I added. Like I said, once chocobos and airships and whatever else is added, teleporting will need to be changed and limited or the new travel will be pointless.

The OP should add that to his original post.

I've had thoughts about the bad/good of teleportation for a while. Currently there is no other way of traveling, which is why I've had a closed mouth. After hearing the transportation plan, I thought it was a good idea to bring up this topic.

Removing unrestrictive transportation not only helps us remove the habit of anima use, but also prepares us for other methods of getting around.

I also agree with reducing the aetherytes, I still believe we should have to atleast travel to them though in order to use that ability.
