Umm...the maps will be different in 2.0, you know that right? It seems quite a few ppl don't really understand what 2.0 is. Maps/cities are being redesigned. Current Eorzea will cease to exist. It might still be called Eorzea though, but I'm not even sure if the cities will maintain their current names. I don't see why not though.

Well I spent almost 2 hours trying to get one gate today and ended up given up because there was no way past the monsters at Lasthold in the black shroud.

What you find fun I find damn right stupid.

Of course you aren't keen on platforming :P, are you one of those who didn't want jump added by any chance ?

Sounds like fun. Always enjoy map exploration. just hope its not tuned like GW1 map exploration was. I liked GW1. but running down a side of a rockface to get .001 percnt of the map exposed wasn't fun exploration really.

Also gives mea good reason to run around grabbing the current aetherytes now. so i can have that done before i get to do it again! wee!

I"m gotten a majority of the nodes and while I can understand your frustration what challenge would there be if they made all the "Exploration" areas easy as pie to get. Would you really feel like an achieved explorer if you found all the nodes with little trouble lol. The point of achievement is to be challenging it's not something everything can get, sure some people can get more of one achievement then the other but overall things like explorer achievement is for those who are willing to take the extra mile to get past the strong enemies that block them from achieving their goal.

Edit-
lol so I've started to "explore" again, when you realize the tricks behind certain mobs it can be pretty fun. The red clippers won't aggro if you walk behind them, as long as they don't see you moving you can get past them just gotta be patient and experiment XD.

I'm very glad about this. I hope there is MUCH to explore in the new areas, hidden and secret places to find and many achievements about them. Also some quests about exploration and when you explores new parts or find something, you should get exp points too.

I would like also a npc that incentives you to explore (similar to the selbina clay quest), maybe about searching for ruins and writings to find around the world. And everything you find, you can archive the lore about them in a book (with art too if possibile). So as the 'famous' monsters-book Jynx suggested in an old topic (i would make also a 'nature' book about flora and plants/flowers to find through harvesting too).

For the old aetherythes, yes, they should reset them or leave only some of them (in any case you have to explore the zone around the aetherythe could you have). And you shouldn't teleport someone who still not reached that aetheryte..

About jumping, it would be sweet to have some places to reach with it. Some platforming elements would not ruin the game imo.

If I only knew who I had to kill to get a massive lore book into the game...

*shifty eyes*

Community reps could drop a hint...I'm no dangerous.
