OMG please remove some of the aetherytes, the world feels tiny

Yoshida actually clarified that this did not mean flying mounts, necessarily. Just that the expansion would mean sky zones and that there were many ways that they might accomplish this. Personal flying mounts were never really what they meant to imply.

One word:

Airships.

We will be able to craft them in FC housing, so pretty safe to say they will be the "flyable mounts" to be used to access (probably) certain zones. Maybe fly around inthe clouds as not much to see, so not much stress on the platforms (PC, PS3/4)

Or it could be an instanced based travel system where you simply select a destination and roam around a flying contraption doing various mini-games while the game controls the flying.

Assume to worst, hope for the best...

You can't just "make the map bigger" You need content to fill it. Otherwise it's a empty barren wasteland that screams laziness.

There's a balance that I don't think is ever properly met.
I honestly hate maps where an event/quest/etc. has to occur every 10 steps as much as one where there's absolutely nothing there.

I'd love to see maps expanded that contain nothing in the new area more than unique geography and landscapes to allow the world to feel expansive and remote.

The biggest obstacle to this is that the scale of the existing zones is absolutely terrible, so either the entire game would need to be remade (again), we'd get zones of varable scale (5 steps in Eastern Shroud = 20 steps in New Zone X), or we're SoL and stuck with a hyper-condensed, dinky world that just feels like a platform to serve up fates and quests. :-/

I love all the PPL that are not on same times as reality. 20mins for yall is 5-8 mins lol. I would like to have to travel more in game, not magically vanish when I join something. But its is the time we live in, just wish we could find a nice middle ground for many things. Like difficulty instead of gimmicks in fights.

im really not trying to sound mean but you could always not use them.
just like the echo, it is still your decision whether you use these things or not.
fight the power and whistle for your chicken!

[Phyllo]

Have you ever tried to remove the echo?

Last time I tried I got kicked out the instance >_>

It's fine if you want to travel via foot or mount, you have the option to do so. No need to enforce that on everyone though. People who want to fast travel everywhere can do so, and people who want to take their time (via foot and mounts) and soak in the world around them can do that as well.

Or we could just don't use the aetherytes. Why force people to do what you like, when you already can do it yourself? I almost never use aetherytes (mostly because I'm damn cheap, really).

Here, let's fix the title of this thread:

Thread: OMG please voluntarily stop using some of the aetherytes, the world feels tiny

[Abriael]

OMG please don't use some of the aetherytes. No one holds you at a gunpoint to.
