Fix to the problem with everyone gathering in Ul'dah

[darkstarpoet1]

you can link the wards and add a global channel for shouts, but i'd still be staying in uldah to be honest.

1. it's the place in the center of everything. it's just as far from grid as it is limsa.

2. it's the place that the main storyline and my main class(thm) leads you to.

3. the city has the best setup to get back and forth from the guilds and repair npc.

4. all a global shout box would do was lead me to is block it from my chat windows anyways.

Main shout channel and connected wards is the way to fix this. I don't care if this breaks immersion for some people.

I personally have already moved to Grid and assembles mostly everything there because Ul'dah crashes alot and have silly loading times.

Main shout channel does nothing good in any MMO that has it. It's just a spam channel and it doesn't spread people out because everyone still gravitates to one hub spot. We're perfectly fine without a universal spam channel lol.

1: Airships connect all the towns in next to no time.

2: Once quests are all done, what's the point?

3: Teleporting around town with aethyr is faster than walking. (unless you load really slow, like really, really slow! slower than me even! and that's hard to do.)

4: I agree I'd hate to have a world chat unless I could just filter it out of my favored window.

I'm not tryin to contradict you, but the reasons listed to stay in ul'dah are all kinda meh, staying there cuz it happens to be your favorite (say visually perhaps) type city is nothing anyone could say boo to. That's why I hang out in Grid or sit at the Limsa fountain sometimes, I like those places for the scenery. From what I understand 50% of the people in Ul'dah are shout fishing, 40-45% are just totally accustomed to being there and it is now a simple "this is what i do" force of habit situation that they're unwilling to break, and 5-10% want to show off gear.

In the situation we have now, as long as i could filter it, I'd support a "city-shout" just to free the shout fishers that are tied to ul'dah as it stands now.

So many Yoshi-Ps are discussing with each other to fix the game o_o

I think SE sould sync all the market wards together and have shouts heard in all citys under one channel. That way people would not need to stay in Ul'dah and go to a city state of choice

OMG! No that would be too easy, someone up with something in between brilliant and the sad scenario we have right now.

Don't know if it's been said, but this has been confirmed for 2.0.

Also, adding a global chat channel would help so people didn't have to shout in any one city. There are a lot of options and fixes that they can do to help out the sitution but we wil have to wait until 2,0 to get the,.

Nuke it.

Just freakin' nuke the place and people will move somewhere else.

A lack of centralized AH and no new iteration of "Conquest" has lead to Ul'dah turning into that hip retro quarter arcade that smells of smoke and nerd sweat. What is the point of hanging out in Grid or LL? They were your starting city? Pffff big whoop. You don't like your mom just because she happened to pop you out into this world.

The lack of competition and rivalry between the city states has lead to everyone clustering in Ul'dah since it has arguably the best layout. Need some incentive to keep our HP's out of that place and I think Hamlet defense just might be the key.

Each Grand Company has to fight off hordes of mobs Behest style. Like the throwback from FFXI losing means important NPC's go missin' Except now instead of a single location to defend we have 3. Thus we need some OTHER incentive to keep the Weed strokers and one eyed pirates back where they belong. Hows about a mass reward system for people in the Company? If your GC best defended against the attacks, or went and raided some kind of trinket from the beastmen's camp then there is no tax on your market ward. Returns back to your citystate are free. Cost of anima usage in the surrounding areas is reduced. A boon to anima regen. Yoshi-P comes in game and tells you stories around a camp fire and rubs your belly.



There is a whole slew of things they could tempt us with but like many have said before me. True balance won't happen until 2.0 even if Hamlet defense is coming out next patch. There really isn't any reason to fix it early.

~~~DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST YOU WERE SCROLLING?~~~
