Thread: Elevators in 2.0

Hello all. I was wondering if the Dev team had a new way of handling elevators in the 2.0 patch? Currently elevators work by walking up to them, going to the interaction icon, then choosing which floor to go to.

I was wondering if the Dev team had any thoughts of changing the elevators. For instance, would new elevators just be moving platforms that players hop on when they arrived on their floor (example being the Bastok elevators from FFXI). Or will the elevators remain as they are, little cutscenes that take us to a new floor?

While I know this isn't exactly the most exciting topic to discuss, it was just on my mind.

I would as well, with an interaction menu for going to Airship platforms. Since I am assuming the airship platforms are going to be their own zones any way.

No, I don't want the elevators from XI! I always missed those, so I had to run to the other side!

KEEP THAT CRAP OUT OF THIS GAME!!!

Just kidding, I totally want that instead of a cutscene! :3

I think something like on White Knight Chronicles would work well in this game, in that a lift was a platform, but you had to select a lever and pull it to call the lift, then you would get on and select a seperate lever on the lift to move between floors without a cutscene.

This looks a lot better than the Bastok style always moving ones, and seems a lot more realistic than what we have now.

If they take anything from White Knight Chronicles, it better be the city of Greede. Holy crap, what I wouldn't give to have a city like that in this game...

That music too...holy balls! <3

That would be so awesome, insted of being on the back of a Demithor, perhaps on the back of King Behemoth, but Greed's Underbelly can burn in the fires of Valahalla for all I care.

Hmmm I have to go there, keep running till you hit a door that will not open, fuuuuuuu run back to the start for the lever you missed, then the good old go to the north lever, drop down the drain to pull another lever back to the lift to do the same in another position, hate that zone soooooooo much, hope something similar never comes to FFXIV lol.
