Teleport NEEDS to be changed!!

[Arcell]

1. We should not be able to teleport to a crystal that we haven't physically walked to before.

2. There's no lore in being able to just "magically" teleport to anywhere at any time from level 1. We should only be able to teleport from Aetheryte crystals.

1. No.

2. "Though the exact mechanism behind teleportation via aetheryte is still largely a mystery, one theory states that when a sentient being approaches one of the portals, the aether that makes up its body resonates with the aether of the crystals, which in turn results in a complete breakdown of the being's mass, allowing it to temporarily return to the invisible aetheric streams that course throughout the planet.

The being's soul, which cannot be broken down, then guides the particles to a predetermined destination, and upon arrival, the corresponding aetheryte receptacle reconfigures the mist back into its original form. This whole process takes only a matter of moments, allowing for nearly instant transportation to faraway destinations.

However, being broken down to the aetheric level can take its toll on one's body, and rest is often required after several consecutive jumps, especially as the distance becomes greater. As a precaution, most city-states strongly discourage over-teleporting, as it can lead to irreversible damage..."

Am I missing something?
I started playing last week or so. I settled in Ul'dah, wanted to visit Gridania, but I couldn't teleport anywhere, since it stated that "no current locations avalaible". I had to go to Gridania on foot, "touch" the aetherite crystal, and then I could port back/forward to/from another city.

I think he is complaining that:

If you had and friends who had been to Grid already, they could have teleported you there.

He is asking if you would prefer it to be like it was in Final Fantasy 11.

i think he/she has a good point but its was over shadowed by the childish statement but I guess we all have those moments.


but to get back on track, the run with a ls member to the port spot was fun ffxi but then again if you get a party and you didnt have the port you were screwed. over all I think it should just be left alone because its not game breaking so they should just leave it be and fix thing that can better move this game forward to a winning state.

nobody is forcing you to "piggyback" with a friend (although i doubt u have any left) to a crystal if you want to run then run i mean come on belgian stop trolling about useless stuff if you have that many problems with the game stop whining like a teenager and STOP PLAYING!!!!!!!

If they had Chocobos and Airships I would agree, but please dont make me walk through the repeatedly disgusting terrain this game has, I beg of you.

It is funny that I knew who opened this topic before I even clicked on the thread .....

Also, if you don't like that bit just don't do it. It's literally that simple, don't teleport to any crystal you haven't walked to. Now if you can't exercise some self-restraint without the game forcing it upon you then there's no help for you.

I actually sort of agree. Being able to go with anyone anywhere is kinda running before you can walk. Then again, this game is going into easy mode.
