    Endwalker? More like Escort Walker

    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.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I gotta say, I'm only atv83 right now and I absolutely hate these ecscort missions. Just feel like unnecessary padding , please tell me it's not like this thru the whole story.

    Its like this throughout the story, so far. And I love it. Forced slow downs are wonderful. Just dont go too fast and you will have no problem with the NPC keeping it up. I wish they would add an NPC to each dungeon that if you run too far away from them, you have to wait for them to catch up.

    Yoshi P was actually quite proud of this new feature, bragging about how when an NPC tells you they will travel with you, they actually do it now.

    Well different strokes for different folks and all that, I'm typically a go fast kind of guy so perhaps that's what's so jarring for me

    or just let people play how they like? not all have time to play 24/7 like you. not all love the story and as one that do its a BIG hit and miss this time. way to much stupid unrealistic things (in universe that is). its not shadow bringers or Heavensward.

    I agree, I don’t really like this unnecessary addition. I feel as if this is a petty attempt to punish players who just skip cutscenes and speed run to the end.

    I think it was a nice feature. At least I personally enjoyed it.

    I'd enjoy it if the mobs could just go an extra 10 yalms before losing line of site and would just use (or, be teleported by) the aethernet when you do, and had their position persist regardless of going into duties or reappear at the latest step of the escort instead of the beginning only. Voila. Fixed.

    What story am I missing by using the aetheryte to get around the city as opposed to walking?
