Please let us *really* ride airships

[DoctorMog]

+1 do want to ride.

I totally dig the airships!

I though am a bit disappointed because I was hoping we would get to "ride" the airships. A few min ride flying over the world as you travel woulda been nice. Like the ferry basically.

If they don't put in a "ride" on airships then they should take out the ride on the ferry. Ya I said it.

As long as we get a lot more out of the airships in patch 1.20+ I'm fine with it (as long as it really is a temporary measure just to get them in game for now) I really don't fancy just a instant travel cut scene for them.

I really want to see us flying over the zones in the future, and would love to see random attacks events and such.
but good news for now at least.

I'm fine with the quick fix for now but I dont want it to stay like that. I know I know some of you had posted saying that it will be addressed in a later patch ..can we get a link to that?. Also I see all these airship hubs around ezorea. I wanna be able to use them . Give LS/Companies their own airships and boats bring on attacks at random times to the ferry and player boats and airship. You state that you want to bring a sense of danger to the world.. this idea sounds perfect for doing that to me.

I am disappointed for Nostalgia purposes, but for efficiency reasons I think I will prefer it. It would be nice to see the landscape from above, and knowing you cant is a bit upsetting. But when I'm in a hurry to zap around the world I much prefer the instant porter. It would happen eventually anyway, even in XI if you want to go to Sandy from Jeuno you will probably take another route that is not the airship as another will be faster, porters for example.

As soon as I read that tidbit about the rides having a pickup/dropoff cutscene only, the first thing that popped into my head was "I'm sure there's someone already bitching about this on the forum"...I pop over to the forums, and sure enough...

[SnowTiger]

Aww... They won't have the flight scene? That does kinda suck, it was a nice little ordeal that I liked having around... And if you got tired of it, it made a great time to take a 5 min break. :P

[Sephr]

It's temporary, you realise...

This is what happens when you have no funding and no time.

No funding? There's hosting a game with no income whatsoever with a full dev team working on it.

Honestly, gifthorse, your trolling gets stupider with every new account.

I was aware that it was already known that Airships would only be a few cutscenes because of development time and that later they would add the actual travel part to it. But again I forget reading is hard for some.

I would rather it be cutscenes unless they added something interesting to do on the airship than just stare off in the distance for 5-10 minutes or go AFK to watch some TV. If they had battles on the airship that spawned monsters according to the levels of the people on the ship, that would be interesting (especially if they had a chance to drop airship specific items). Otherwise, I'd just rather save the time and do something fun.
