Riding Chocobos in town?

[giftforce]

Lag.

I win.

I don't want chocos in town because my PC already comes to a crawl in cities, even unpopulated ones. Horrible PC optimization + chocos in cities would just be wonderful.

Is it really our fault that your PC is set at too-high settings?

Plus, it's only a chocobo on your screen, it's not going to kill your computer much more than a character model.

Lol, just lol.

My PC is not set at too high of settings, nor do I encounter lag anywhere except cities. I still get lag in Jeuno in XI. Know why? Because SE freaking sucks at optimization for PCs. Amazing I can run other graphic-intensive programs and don't have a problem. Must be my PC though.

1 Choco won't kill me. The whole town on Chocos will kill every PC player.

He's going into troll mode because he's realizing it'd be stupid to have chocobs in cities with the current engine. It's his defense mechanism, just ignore it.

Anyways, lag is a serious problem and it's not just because of settings. It's because SE has reaaaaal bad optimization...memory leaks galore.

The only problem I could see with chocobos in towns is limsa. There are a lot of narrow staircases/ramps there. It would be hard to get a chocobo up there.

Maybe the restriction can be that chocobos don't like to go up stairs. That seems reasonable. Not letting chocobos walk on flat ground that we've seen them walking on in cut-scenes doesn't make any sense.

i think in ffxiv, with the way the regions are where u dont zone but just walk in, if your on a chocobo, and u reach the gate, it could give u a pop up window saying that the chocobo does not want to go any further and ask if u want to dismount.

i think an auto dismount will upset a lot of players, especially if u enter the gate by accident.....

i really REALLY hope they implement something like a personal chocobo barn where you can have maybe up to 5 different chocobos that u've raised from an egg. you can pick and choose which one you want to ride also and instead of zoning in from the rental, you can zone out of your barn which can be a zone right outside the city gates.

a pop-up window, really? If it doesn't want to go any further it should go crazy and sqwark at you or something. We have enough popup menus already.

chocobos... bleh... i want coblyn mounts ( ^.^)b

itll probably be a pop up window to dismount b4 entering a city like Gabbagabba said. No need to make it any differently

Did you know that if you tried to post a suggestion like this (I say suggestion because it certainly doesn't qualify as an "idea") on any other forum besides a FFXIV one, you would be shot down for being unimaginative and restrictive.

Like, don't you guys ever think of ways to improve concepts rather than just preserving the status quo or upholding antiquated traditions?
