Anima, Traveling, and the Rest of Us

[AJ_Anyia]

Alright, since I've been encouraging more constrictive thought and feedback for the game and less fighting and arguing this is the proposal I'm bringing to the table. Please, please SE reduce the amount of time that anime is recharged to something that makes an impact like one every other hour. The way that it is now, people hopping around to multiple different places burn out all 100 pretty fast and you get about enough to go to one place. On top of that, if your Home Point isn't set to your city or a safe place you have no option of using the return feature to get back safely from what ever it is you are doing. With expansions, meaning a lot more possible areas to get to, anima tanks will be running dry fast. Not to mention they already run the risk of that as it is with leve and quest hungry people traveling all over the place.

I haven't sifted through the multitude of pages this forums has, I stopped at around 10, so I apologize if this is a repeated request. Feedback is great, criticism is welcome, trolling will be lawl'd. That is all.

how do you think about chocobos and air ships?..

Those are placeholders until we get Teleport...

Wait, I got the order wrong!

Yup once the nostalgia of "riding a bird" passes both of those options will still be far slower than just zapping yourself to where you want to be.

Anima always seemed like a dev tool that one would use to check bugs with but as a game mechanic it pretty much breaks the illusion of a consistent world.
I wish they'd take this system away once we have proper transport like chocobos or at very least make the regen speed a lot slower. As it is you have to be a really hardcore player to ever run out of it.

I am as impatient for them to get here as I am waiting for my anima to get restored. lol Seriously though, they'll make a heck of a difference in the game and getting around once they get here. Getting around with chocobos will make getting around immediate areas a lot simpler and airship from city to city more convenient (baring a possible time schedule they work on similar to XI). But until such time we're at the mercy of what we have right now.

In EVERY MMO there is usually a teleportation ability given to mages. if anything reduce it to a class and make it accessible by completing an objective. don't just gut it completely.

At any rate I'm sure it's not going to be leaving any time soon. The casual players would piss a fit if it does, and thats a mass of what the dev team is trying to balance an appeal to in this game.

I think it'll be fine when chocos and airships get here... You're not supposed to just tele around every time you need or want to go anywhere... But running by itself is a bit slow... The middleground is on the way though, so after the next patch I think it'll be a non issue. If you're just gonna go do leves or turn in a local leve, it's like a 5 minute bird ride to most camps, then you can just return home.
