Issues with some zones and aethertes, please do not repeat this in SB

In the last maps, both of the quest hubs have chocobo routes. If you don't want to autorun on your own chocobo, just take taxi and go pick a drink or pat your cat in the minute it takes to arrive. The "I want everything right on this instant" ... sheesh. I'd understand it if it was long run but it's not.

I get where you're coming from and I actually agree, I think the OP is more upset that it can take a full minute or more to cross Azys Lla to get to a fate that should be doable in the remainging time of say, 5mins; but actually turns out to be 3mins when you finally arrive and soloing some of these fates can be difficult still even with bobo.

The maps just need more underground labyrinth caves full with beastmen, where you can't fly

You misunderstood the "actually dangerous" part, I'm talking about mobs that could kill you, not just the nuisance enemies that we have right now

Something similar to a Fel Reaver then, and again all you need to do is learn to deal with it. To me there is no real way to make Open world "dangerous" PvE wise without making it a mayor annoyance, there is only way to really do it: Open World PvP, not gonna happen in this MMO.

Hence why I was only answering to his last point. Even though I don't agree with the other ones either much due the reasons already stated in the thread. The places are far because they are in big zones which are supposed to be big. Not every spot in the game has to be reached in a minute. If you see fate that has too little time left, look for another with longer time, since you already know the traveling will take time. It just means you were already late when you spotted it, same as if you'd arrived to closer one with 3 seconds left.

I can completely get behind adding in an Aetheryte to perhaps Whitebrim in Coerthas. Just because I remember all the running I had to do there for leve turn-ins when I was leveling my crafters. >.>

With regards to the Hinterlands, it stands to reason that most Aetherytes are located in areas where there are settlements. Hinterlands doesn't really have such settlements outside of Idyllshire, which already has an Aetheryte. So there's not really anywhere to place one. It wouldn't make sense to place it in Illuminati territory or near Matoya's Cave. Neither of those would approve of an Aetheryte, I'm sure.

Randomly patrolling enemies that can kill you and your party. Past MMOs have created monsters that were never meant to be defeated, which I tend to admire in story writing. Not a big fan of us all being gods and the story written about just... we're not even adventurers anymore we are simply the Warrior of Light. bleh

Yes I know players will always find a way to avoid procedurally mapped AI but still, being able to kill everything in this game but a few raid things and then later in the next level increase we can stomp them. This game could do with some challenging open world content.

Yes

Ignore people who bring unrelated points to your topic. Just say "that's unrelated" and move on.

You have trigger button that you need to deal with cuz you're a person that actually brings up good points but then people tend to not to take you seriously whenever you bring up your personal beef. It's not the first time you veiled a thread behind pvp chat.

Move on and stop getting triggered for nothing.

It is not a "personal beef" I do not understand why this is so hard to understand. If the dev team is already doing changes because how the community acts, how can one say one change is valid and another isn't because it is a change based how the community acts? Post limit here, the DF lock out if you leave, DF lock out if you can't accpet queue (and this can be unfair because it takes too long to change job when in a fate, or when doing a high level craft) and PvP chat removal are all changes because it is community babying. So how can one defend the aetherte shortcomings based on "devs should not be babying people" when several changes already happened based off it? It is not a "personal beef" it is showing why that argument is not a valid one, why this is so hard for people to understand, I got no idea.

How come people seem to be ok with 2 aethertes 5 feet from each other in a zone that is 5 miles long? How come people are ok with an aetherte in a zone that is 5 miles long where it is very close from the aetherte city zone? These are map design flaws.

Also for the "traveling should be dangerous" news flash, 2.0+ never was anywhere and I never seen anyone argue over that needed to change.

It like you actually have to travel places instead of just insta-traveling everywhere.



Traveling already made far too easy in this game, let not add more.

This post would only make sense if the game did not have things that last for 1 minute or less, like fates, hunts, and timed nodes.

Yes we need more spots in large zones to fit how the game is made, on top of not making sense on big zones like the ones in the sky, that those aethertes are near the foundation zones. So they are not exactly helpful.

Your comparisons are community driven problems, that got "rules" added to it, because the community couldn't solve it themself without rules.
Aetherites are not placed by players, they are placed by the devs who have for sure long thought about where to place the Aetherites and why (near settlements or friendly beastmen daily camps and not in strongholds, as an example).
