Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Click bottom right corner where it says Aetheryte.

It was literally built into the lore before the game was released.

You could apply your logic to Star Trek and their ability to warp or beam people down to a planets surface. That doesn't destroy people's immersion. It might your's but people find that to be a very interesting aspect of the Star Trek universe. Maybe the Enterprise should run on an Internal Combustion Engine instead ya?

You've contributed nothing to your argument.

While I agree aetherite allready has lore in the game, it also tells us that it's a bad thing too do it too much lol. "The logic behind waiting for anima to regenerate I'm guessing".

But just to point out the flaw in your comparison...In Star Trek it's not like you could "Beam" someone to the other side of the galaxy you had a finite range in which you could do such things...but thats just being picky.
