Endwalker? More like Escort Walker

[Arius69]

I understand people like different things... but this seems like such a small thing to complain about that just makes those people seem idk... ungrateful?

Mofos lucky yall even playing with those login queues

I agree. At least you got in. If the quest supports the storyline I am all for it. If it is like making fried rice and adding lots of celery because you cant afford other vegetables then I am disappointed. That is one of the reasons I left WOW for FFXIV because it actually feels like SE cares about not wasting my time on pointless fillers.

Yeah, I was actually excited when first encountering this. It's neat, mixes up the quest pacing a bit.
Sure, it may be a kind of padding. But that's fine. If it lets me spend more time with the new content without burning through it, there's not really any need to be speeding through the quests.
I think it adds a nice new variant in the storytelling, and having optional conversations for those that want to spend a few words more with their favorite npcs is neat.

Heaven forbid they do something new. I think it's actually pretty cool a nice addition.

Looks like I'll auto-walk everywhere with a max level fisher and tab out instead of auto-run and tab out. Forcing me to slow down is not going to make me take in sights any more than allowing me to speed through. I already ignore the work they put into the environments by using a max level fisher to ignore every mob and auto-running when I look for aethercurrents and I'll just continue to ignore the work they put in but for escort quests too.

I think it's so cool to really feel like I'm going on an adventure with my friends the Scions, talking to Graha'Tia or walking around Sharlayan with friend Alphinaud and Alisae, the good friend.

I must admit that I was quite surprised when I felt like using the Urban Aetheryte, to find myself going to look for them.

But, I still think it's cool, it should be improved a bit to be able to use it when you want Urban Tp, otherwise I say great!

It goes in the same direction as the Trust System which allows us to live the MSQ as a real adventure with the Scions.

I would be ok with them if the npc teleported to you when you got to far .. instead of teleportiong away xD

[aveyond-dreams]

I don't see anything wrong with letting the npc follow us for larger distances and be able to teleport alongside us. Hopefully moving forward in 7.0 we get a party that sticks around with us for even longer, similar to Dragon Age Origins or something along those lines.

If you just want to rush the story, everything that slows you down, be it escort quests or not, will make you rage.


If you play it slow and enjoy the music and the scenery, escort quest is not that bad. It reminds me of old JRPG where you have your party members tagging behind you, and you will want to lead them EVERYWHERE possible for extra dialogues or secrets.

[Lunalepsy]

It seems that SE has finally figured out how to implement escort quests and is determined to have multiple ones in every single zone.

Especially during the MSQ.

NPC X has lost sight of you! Return to start over!

Indeed. It's annoying and unnecessary, but I guess that's what people want?
