Teleport kills immersion

[Syrehn]

I'll take convenience over immersion any day; and technically Aetherytes are still immersive since they fit the lore. If you don't like the concept of porting then simply don't use the teleports.

SE, please give us more Aetherytes, specifically in Whitebrim... god how I hate that run every time I have to make it...

She tells you that she has an aetheryte in her Mor Dohna shop that lets her teleport to Idyllshire, that was in 3.1. In 3.0, she had to presumably walk and she complained how much of a pain it was.

I know all that now, it was more of a derp realization that just maybe, she might be also teleporting - like I did literally seconds before having that thought and still not being able to put 2 + 2 together.

We can discuss immersion for hours as it is completely subjective.
If you think teleport kills immersion - don't use it. If you are fine with it - use it.
Just because you want to be immersed more, or have it more 'hardcore' it doesn't mean other players should be stripped off of things they find USEFUL.

It can have its up-sides, and down-sides, as all the things do.. But in the end, I think some would vote for even more points to port to.

Cats are a meme, ergo miqotes are a meme race.

I enjoy Teleports. I just wish there was a little more lore on it. It's convenient without being 100% convenient. Questing through Coerthas back in ARR, you'd have killed for one or two more Aetherytes in that zone, not to mention the lack of one outside the Waking Sands back then.

There is a crap ton of lore about why the Aetheryte system exists. After the calamity caused by Bahamut, there was a large amount of residual Aether dispersed....you know what? Just read more.

We still don't know who originally made them though. Or how they found the aether streams, or what happened to their civilization. As much lore as we have we still have unanswered questions and there's still plenty we could learn on the matter.

Never a such thing as "Too Much Lore".

Subjective; I for one skip over all text since 2.0 and my mrd/warrior class storylines. I haven't watched a single cutscene since Coil.

Frankly I have no idea what really is going on in the MSQ for all of HW(sorta lying, I did watch the final cutscene for Thor NM), so yes, for some, there is too much Lore.

That's true. It's also plausible that they can still release this information in the future. Assumptively we can't know everything at once, that's part of the fun. You know what the people in this thread would love? If as part of the story the game messed with the player's Aether and they were unable to teleport for a short time while they adventure. God, that'd be awful.

The answer to all of your queries is Allagans; everything is explained with them.
