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

[Ama_Hamada]

Here are the points/zones that are too far from an aetherte, making it hard to get to hunts/rare fates:

The Sea of Clouds ( 30.3 , 18.9 )

Azys Lla ( 26.7 , 16.2 )

Azys Lla ( 22.5 , 33.8 )

The Dravanian Hinterlands ( 17.0 , 29.1 )

The Churning Mists ( 20.8 , 16.3 )

[not as needed but helps get to the north points easier]
East Shroud ( 26.0 , 13.3 )

Outer La Noscea ( 24.6 , 7.3 )

Coerthas Central Highlands ( 25.7 , 28.4 )

Coerthas Central Highlands ( 12.7 , 16.5 )


For the last 2, those are high traffic little towns that have a lot of quest points where it would be nice just to teleport there to get them done quicker. In 1.0 there was a lot of mini aetherte's that can be looked into like those spots and Mor Dhona ( 30.1 , 12.7 ) These places have a high traffic to side quests and leaves and it is kind of nonsense there is no aetherte there.

You only have as much time to get to the hunts as you do because they're so far away. It's Balmung. The hunts get pulled by people who pull as soon as they show up. The faster they show up, the less time you have to get there as well. That's why it's important to be in good hunt linkshells and drop everything you're doing to get to the hunt.

I think the faster adn easiest solution for overpopulated servers like Balmung is increase the re-appearance rate of the fates.

Travel is already pretty trivial with flying, why reduce the area size even more? Plus, I thought beastman territory was supposed to be difficult to get into (trying to make it feel dangerous, I guess). If you are speaking solely of people pulling hunts/fates too quickly then that is more of a community problem and less of an area design problem I'd think?

Nope, not when you remove chat from pvp, so that shows me if the dev team whats to address community problems, why not this one? People should be given the tools to get to them in time, along with gathering and other things, with these zones (or in the case of Mor Dhona/Coerthas Central Highlands, high traffic points for quests.) I lost count how many times I wanted to teleport to those 3 points. It gets old running there back and forth back and forth, let me teleport there darn it.

Not for these zones as stated, it takes to long, also why have a 5 mile wide map with 2 points right next to each other? They never felt dangerous, if you want a feel of danger, bring back mor dhona 1.0, nothing compares to it so I would disagree on that feeling.

[Skyrior]

It's aetheryte, not aethertes.

You are definitely growing on me.

On topic though, the only ones I can get behind are CCH (takes forever to get anywhere and it's not like there is anything to look at and appreciate because it is easily one of the blandest areas) and Hinterlands (because regardless of which direction you take, you must go through two loading screens). Everywhere else is fine.

Not in favor. Please no.


Another pvp chat thread in disguise?
