The Hinterlands could kind of use an Aetheryte

[myahele]

I think they just wanted to prevent another Mor Dhona (mount vs mount) from happening again; hence Idyllshire prevents you from summoning mounts

i like it having no aetheryte. Makes it feel much roomier. True we'll never see a map like 1.0, but this makes me nostalgic about it. No aetheryte, no safety net, loooong way back . It's all about the journey, not just the destination.

[Sora-san]

Here's a good idea! Give us an option to teleport right outside of Idyllshire that way we won't have to go there every time we need to go to The Hinterlands and everyone will be happy.

Why can't you at least ride your mount in Idyllshire?

This or a Gobbie-cannon.

launches adventurers to a random location on the map.

Only if I have the option to watch a silly and overly complicated cutscene where I'm loaded in and the canon appears to not fire the first time before going nuts, spinning out of control and launching me off after the Goblin operator has made a comment about being perfectly locked onto a requested area.

I mean you can fly in the Hinterlands, so no big deal. But Goblin tech is at it's best when it's wacky as possible.

We'll look into an easier way to get out to the Dravanian Hinterlands from Idyllshire's aetheryte.

Something tells me you guys already had plans for this as part of Idyllshire's patch cycle evolution... The ruined aethernet nodes in Sharlayan are rather conspicuous.

The easiest/best/non-stupid solution is to throw a few quests in there to fix the broken Aethereytes that are all over the place. eg, you can fix them by crafting or buying the "portable Aethereyte" from the market/GC seals, or something of that nature. It needs to be within the grasp of players who finish the level 59 quests without "making it", so that they can not skip ahead before east half is unlocked.

Like that IS the most sensible thing to do.

YES to cannon travel!

I felt like this would have been included, surprised it wasn't... or maybe it will be! lol

Talking about silly aetheryte placement, still waiting for Ul'dah to be destroyed, renovated, moved to Sil'dih, or new Belah'dia. No aetheryte by your Markert Board = you deserve your own personal Dalamud. I say this with love though, for coin and country.
