[dev9999] Anima Limit and Favorites

[Asiaine]

Abused how? No one abuses them in XI and they can be done all the time. Short MP Usages and Cooldowns. No idea what you mean.

FFXI required you to be a WHM to teleport... and you could not change jobs once you did. That inability to change jobs in the field does not exist here, so it makes things a lot easier: Change to WHM, teleport, change to job you really want.

GW 1 and 2 you can teleport for free, anytime, to any specified location. Even the gil teleports are super cheap (Aion, Tera, etc).

I'm hoping we are not suggesting that the mechanics of this world should be the same as every other game out there... just re-skinned with an FF theme pack? One of the 'big things' about Final Fantasy (a theme so to speak) was always the recognition of a giant world that had to be traversed. If it now is simply ... taxi everywhere... it looses that aspect of being Final Fantasy... (not suggesting it is a good or bad aspect, just, it is an aspect)

Going to the place the first time should be mandatory, it shouldnt let you teleport somewhere if you have not gone there yourself also, (like XI), MP i stated because it is regenerated that is the point so no idea why you brought it up (like XI).

This game took what is a nice feature about most games and can be freely done through easily regenerated methods (MP/Gil) that is under the control of the user (rest MP or earn Gil) and made it completely shit and ruined it by locking on a stupid timeframe to it with a low cap and expensive tele rates.

They tried to fix what was not broken and made it worse.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Anima/Teleport works now. I play a fair bit, do a fair bit of content, and even 'rush' a bit when patch came out. Sitting pretty at over 80 anima, thank you kindly.

If someone is running out of anima, someone needs to re-consider how they use it and find an alternative.

(Side note: How many people teleported to Cutter's instead of chocobing there?)

How can you say that when Viion's main point was directly related to how FF11 did it.

This isn't about copying the way other games do it, its about making it more user friendly and intuitive.

There is no harm in everyone having teleport spells if there is a cool-down and a requirement to unlock the destination first.

If you want a system like this then you may as well just ask for them to abolish anima with unlimited non restricted teleporting cause tahts what it will be.

I would be ok with this ...

I like the ather pass in uldah. I wouldn't mind doing quest for different ather passes that got you camps instead of the current system. I hope in 2.0 they come up with a creative method of travel that may have something to do with GC and quest.

I would be even more ok with this.
