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

[weeble]

em immersion? i think housewives from the 60's ran away from the void of staring out a window while doing dishes. wtf would anyone want to brainlessly run to every node all day after doing it a million times without going insane. there is no fun in running, your delusional. any of you who want something to do so you run? must be mental i'm sorry, are you all 50 on every class yet? u'r just waisting your life.

content, more and more content, lmao running to carmps being immersive fun content. you make my brain hurt. beside they trying to call this game solo and casual, i don't see anything that makes u run 10-20minutes every hour being that.

and lol, sorry for ranting...i'm bored in game with nothing to do but rather then run around i'm forum posting and taking it out on tarts. lol

Where did I say running to camps were content?

I'm talking about using aetherytes as teleportation nodes.
Your exaggerating about the minuscule trouble and time it'll take to run to one.

Yall indolent players are really showing your illiteracy.

my abc's have nothing to do with how to get from a to b, specially since there is nothing special between a and b. u'r trying to pick my words apart to make u feel smart, just take it as it is, running around is dumb, instant travel or something close to that is good. the end. ty.

[Jobeto-Rin]

No sir, I'm picking the points your trying to make.
Not your words

Edit:

Your were making points on running and it's boring consequences.

I'm making points about why teleporting should be only at aetherytes.

The point of this thread isn't the running. It's the effect this unrestricted teleportation has on our game.

most people don't use the 1 anima to use it ...cause if 1 person don't use it, u already waiting for him anyway, it usually used if you behind for whatever reason and catching up to the group. if u add choco's for the ride inbetween them would be cool but instant is always better. specially for places where your only doing dinky things like leves that start at a location and you not really running around trying to avoid mobs or kill them to a specific location.

I played ffxi and experienced the waiting that was involved, so teleportation is warranted in that sense.

But from anywhere in the game? In order to truly understand the problem, you have to read mine and others opinion of the matter. For me, it's cons are hard to summarize appropriately. Feels cheap, deteriorates sense of world scale, challenge level... etc....

And if your going to mention running, in-game right now, how far are you actually from an Aetheryte?
There are so many I just don't see the issue/complaining about running to 1.

Someone please explain that bit to me.

I don't see how another player that teleports from anywhere is affecting YOUR gameplay?

I don't see why another player should be restricted from teleporting from anywhere while you CHOOSE to run instead?

Awhile ago I brought this same situation up on the ZAM forums. I just made a blog about my idea of aetheryte as a network of branches and hubs and the more branches and hubs you pass the more anima it should cost.

Also if so many people are against the idea of having to run to an aetheryte crystal they could just implement teleports from anywhere, but cheaper teleports from a crystal.

The biggest issue I have with the system is how inconsistent it is in the canon of world itself. If you go back and read the aetheryte section on the ffxiv website they talk about how it was such a big factor in the expansion of the nations... yet all of the outlying towns are completely devoid of aetheryte.

I'd like to see the actual crystalized aetheryte in towns and a select few areas only... the camps should all be nodes that branch out from the crystals at the towns and then the towns should be branches from the hubs of the main cities.

Towns should get unique leves and quests, their own chocobo stalls, their own retainer bells, some actual shops, and maybe guild access for people who have earned it.

So if someone wants to travel from a hub to a hub, or a hub to one of it's branches it costs 2 anima. from a hub to a node off of one of it's branches 3 anima... from a node to a node on a completely different hub 4-6 anima... from the middle of nowhere to a node on a different hub, maybe 9 or 10 anima.

This would ween people off the dependency of anima, promote the use of the newer modes of transportation, and then also create more depth in the world by giving valid reasons to be in the outlying towns like Aleport and Golden Bazaar.

People can still travel from the middle of nowhere, halfway across the world... but if they do it to much they could be stuck hoofing it.

Whereas the people who don't mind a short walk here and there could never run out of anima.

You could say the same about most complains in the game but most people will always do what's easiest, even if it isn't what they actually WANT to do.

So, players who have limited game time to play should be restricted to using the majority of their limited gametime for traveling instead of actually playing the game because other players choose to play the game a way they don't want to even though they currently have the option to play the game the way they want to?
