Getting around

[syntaxlies]

Yup. You could call the spell [Teleport-Horizon]. But you'd have to buy it, all your spells wouldn't just be granted to you. "oh i got experience, i learned the same thing that everyone else knows, and no one taught it to me, i didn't have ot buy the scroll and read the incantation and remember it."

But yes, leaving bastok to gustabergs, then konschtat highlands, the dunes, and the scary walk to jeuno which only took me 3 tries. Then when I got there I didn't level for a week, i explored, sold stuff, choco quest, etc. The sense of wonder I guess is what xiv didn't have for me, or if it did, it didn't last nearly as long as it should have. xi still had it after 5 years.

I remember when i used to buy skills in ff14

I should take the airship more... I wish they'd do away with anima/teleports, choco's and airships are all we need, and the ability to set home points at the crystals. Then 3 teleports to places by cities, but not to close, like camp horizon or tranquil or iron lake, but as a player cast spell that would take people in their party.

I would hate to have to run from Grid to Mog, Auren Veil every time and a lesser extent uldah to Ifrit/CC especially having to go to grid after every mog/ifrit kill. Doesn't sound like one bit of fun to me at all.

Anima. Use it.

But we need Anti-Air weaponary to shoot down Garlean airships.

Or an anti-lag cannon so I can shoot down the newly patched airship-player-controllable !

I've only been playing this game for two days. It's the first MMO I've ever played so I don't really have a base for comparison, but I have to say that this is probably the best MMO ever made.

I have no quarrels about the game at all other than the fact that it's so hard to get places. Sometimes I only have an hour to play due to real life commitments, and I find that it takes me 50 minutes just to get anywhere. As a result of this, I believe that they should implement a great feature that I just thought of while running from Gridania to LL. Flying mounts. How cool would it be to be able to fly around? Maybe we can get our own airships like Setzer.

I had to stop here.

Do you have your walk key turned on?

I kid....or do I?

Yah 50 minutes seems long, tho i can kinda understand it if your taking long routes and or dont know how to.. follow a map.

You need to realize that in FFXIV Version 2.0 that the game world is not going to be seamless. We're going to be broken back up in to zones like in FFXI for the sake of game stability and area diversity. My point is that having a flying mount once 2.0 hits will be pointless.

I believe we need to get rid of Anima. I think Aetheryte's need to be used to get from one zone to the next. So if you need to get to Camp Horizon but you're on the outskirts of Camp Bloodshore, you'll need to return to the Camp Bloodshore Aetheryte to be able to select Camp Horizon as a teleport destination. They could even monetize the system to help out the already broken economy.

Recap, Flying in 2.0 will not work. Require teleports to be made at Aetheryte's for Gil, not Anima.

yeh that is true, the maps will be too small, even now they are to small for flying mounts, there is to much "out of bounds" and "invisible walls" currently, like you cant fall of mountains to your death, cant even jump so you're very much tied to the ground. I garauntee even if jump is added there wont be fall damage as they'd be still tons of "invisible walls".

Aion had this issue so it let you only fly in certain areas otherwise its just "gliding" and they made a full zone dedicated to allow flying but ofc it has a limit. Other games with freedom like wow have huge zones so theres really no out of bounds.

Is this a troll ... it is isn't it ?

Flying mounts .. what is this madness .. *readies a WoW stink bomb*
