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

[Venat]

Like I mentioned before and mentioned in another forum. Make Anima cap 50 & remove some of the Aeths Crystals and make it so you cant teleport to Aeth Gates.

Add some rent chocobo near some of the main Aeth Crystals. Not all of them.

It will eventally will be like this anyway but not right away. FFXI didnt get chocobos near some teleport crystals till few years later.

I really dont care what dev's do as long as they do something.

Tractor... fun times.

Players choosing to do something they do not enjoy in the game when they already have an alternative option they WOULD enjoy but choose to NOT use the alternative option is not a valid reason to make sure the majority of my limited game time is used for traveling instead of playing the game.

Seriously this argument is a bit irrelevant. There are practically node and aetheryte almost everywhere in the world, It would take a maximum of 5min to run to it. If you don't have 5 minutes to spare while playing an MMO, MMO's aren't for you. Even a casual player can spare 5 minutes to walk somewhere.

If you are in Ul'dah or w/e city, it's not hard to walk to the aetheryte and teleport from there. If you are out in the field doing leves, you most likely are near a node/aetheryte. How hard is it to be next to it to be able to teleport?

If you are out in the field gathering, I am pretty sure you can spend some time walking to the nearest node, which should be about 5min away max, while gathering on your way.

Also, being able to be teleported to any aetheryte by other players even if you yourself never got this node really kills any sense of adventure and exploring if you ask me. Even if the world is boring right now, it will not always be so and this should be removed sooner than later. Get your own nodes yourself (or with a group) before you earn the right to teleport there.

No one said it was hard.

It's pointless to spend limited game time traveling when it could be spent playing the game instead.

Limiting anima further or removing anima will do absolutely nothing but ensure players who have limited game time per game session will be using the majority of their time traveling instead of playing the game.

Go walk, you have the option right now in the game... go... walk.

Stop trying to take the option from others just because you do not want to use the option.

Would you tell your child they can't use the option to bounce a ball when they play with it just because you do not want to use the option to bounce a ball when you play with it?

No.

Options are just that - options.

Do not use anima if you don't want to and leave other players alone who would like to use anima in order to play the game for the majority of their game time instead of travel for the majority of their game time.

Not really, your pointless attempt to attack me be are not relevant, mainly because I do walk most of the time I need to travel unless I am in such a hurry that I cannot spare the short time it takes. It just proves it could be a little more restrictive to be an "emergency" transport, not something you use every time.

I don't care ultimately, I was merely stating that your arguments does not hold much in the balance. Furthermore, lorewise it makes a lot more sense to be able to teleport only from the nodes/aetherytes as they are linked together in some network. Be able to simply vanish from the middle of nowhere is just a bad excuse to accomodate the whiners that cannot spend 5 min of their lives getting somewhere they want.

In any MMO, even if transportation is different, the normal joe cannot simply teleport to multiple places anywhere in the world. With other means of transport like chocobos, it will be even faster to ride to a node to teleport after if that is your wish. I think being able to go ANYWHERE you have visited from ANYWHERE is too much and there needs to be a balance. Being able to go ANYWHERE from a aetheryte is a fine balance of things and is more relevant to the world of Eorzea.

And again, stressing the fact that the dev can do what they feel is right for their game, but the system we have now is a just a adventure killer. At the very least make people be able to teleport to node they have visited first, not just be able to be teleported by someone else.

Edit: I also wanted to tell you that everytime someone posts something in this thread that does not go with your opinion, you keep repeating the same argument of "you can walk if you want". So please, you stated your view, if you have nothing new to bring to the table just leave the thread, no point in repeating yourself.

This makes no sense, even in XI, as long as someone had a WHM you could teleport anywhere in the world where there was a crystal, not go to the crystal every time in order to teleport. Besides, our only mode of transportation right now is teleports, this game is hurting as it is, no need to make it worse.

FFXI =/= FFVIX.

In FFXI it was a WHM spell that was casted and teleported you to the crystal IF you acquired the crystal 1st. In FFXIV it's a network of crystal flow. It doesn't make sense to be able to teleport from anywhere if you are not near a node since you kinda "enter" the flow to go somewhere.

So, the system is such an adventure killer that you walk most of the time and adventure?

I mean, wow, how dare the system make sure you have an OPTION to go play the game instead of travel... ya know, cuz options can NOT be avoided.. o no, not at all!

What bad things happen to your personal gameing when someone other then you who can only play for an hour or so logs on and uses anima to go play the game instead of travel?

Not one thing changes negatively about your personal gameplay if I use anima from anywhere - not one.

Why are you trying to prevent players from using it as it currently is in the game?

Why is it that you can not stand the thought of someone other then you using the current anima system?

What happens in your gameplay that makes it so you can no longer enjoy the game if someone other then you uses the current anima system?

Ok read my post carefully, and pay attention to where I say I do not care ultimately, you can play however you like. If my opinion differs than yours, you don't need to act like a spoiled brat and makes stupid statements like you do.

I said lorewise it would make more sense. I don't give a sh** if they don't restrict it in the end and you blow all your animas in one day and walk the rest of the week, so please take a deep breath and relax.

They only thing I find needs fixing is the fact that you should be required to get the node before being able to teleport or be teleported there.

Also, read my edit and see the part where it says to stop bringing the same "it doesn't affect you" arguments because you have been saying the same thing for countless posts without so much developping on them so that you can actually make a point instead of just stating your biased opinion.

Now take a chill pill and stop thinking I care about how you spend your animas and if they decide to restrict it or not.

So, your argument is - Anima should be restricted more because it does not negatively affect your gameplay at all and you don't care about it at all even though it WOULD negatively affect players with limited game time per game session and those players DO care about that?

Uh huh...

I am sure the Devs will get right on the changes you want, yup.
