May we please have an Aetheryte added to the Dravanian Hinterlands?

It's very annoying when you're trying to get to a hunt or S rank called in the area and people are averse to waiting longer than 30s to pull. I'm in one of the main hunt linkshells on my server; things usually get called there, first. Yet I can start teleporting as soon as a hunt is called and frequently it's already dead or almost by the time I get there, and that's not counting having to zone into one area, zone out of it, and then fly.

Odd, I never have issues, then again I am running off a Asus 10G nic, Fiber Optic connection, and 1TB 960 Samsung Pro M.2 in Dimm2 Configuration, memory cooled, with 4266mhz Trident Z Ram.

hmmm.... /think

The weird thing is we have three of them in the azim steppe, which is smaller than the hinterlands honestly.

Yeah. It's weird that the namazu get an aetheryte but no other beast tribes does (except the Kojin, but Tamamizu is a preexisting town, not some hastily thrown together camp.) Dhoro Iloh is the same 20 seconds of travel from the nearest town as all the rest. Why bother?

Idyllshire was separated to prevent same clustered area as Mor Dhona. Why not just a mini aetheryte on Hinterlands, but same Aethernet as Idyllshire? I don't think they take up too much space or break any lore. Leave the 1.0 broken aetherytes untouched.

Im assuming its because of the overall story arc for the Namazu and why they are at that location.

I think the goblins setting up the mini aetherytes would be cool but maybe its not possible for them? Everything has a story or lore reason!

(Really it would have been more practical to have them at those two points from the start, and not have one at Dragonhead if they couldn't have all three places.)

I frequently teleport to Dragonhead. It's the location where the highest exp-yield quests from the Ixal beast tribe require you to go. All the quests from that Ixal literally depend on Dragonheads surroundings. And there is a LOT of disciples of hand to level, so it'd be a horrible pain in the ass to lose the Aetheryte there.

On the other hand, I cannot remember anything at all in Whitebrim past the story quests there. Observatorium on another hand...yes. It would be good to have an Aetheryte there as well, for the same reason as Dragonhead.

Dhoro Iloh is way further than the rest (due to how big Steppe is in comparison to the rest anyway). It's also on a cliff. Namazu are lvl60 beast tribe, not lvl70, so by the time you can do them, you don't necessarily have flying either.

Hinterlands should get an Aetheryte. But I don't have any idea why you complain about the Namazu beast tribe getting their own.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but... is the loading screen really that big of a deal?

It is when 90% of the game is loading screens there's even loading screens inside the dungeons. Feels like I'm playing an old ps2 game sometimes.

It's funny because there are mini aetherytes all over the place in Dravanian Hinterlands, they're just all broken...

If only there was someone who knew the first thing about fixing those things [looks at Alphinaud]
