Thread: 2.0 Teleportation and you!

In the end I'm just allergic to the idea of losing my teleport. Nooooooooooo don't change these things!

It's a *tutorial quest*. If they even make current players do it at all, it's probably going to take like 2 minutes of your time.

Remove teleport, it ruins the atmosphere of the game and brings it down to WoW-like quest-rushing.

If we had more than 5 areas I'd like to see certain telepoints, but like this..... maybe one in Coerthas? That's it.



I miss the travelling.... has anyone ever used the ship in the past 6 months?

Maybe if there was actually a difference between airship travel and teleportation, minus the fact that I have to throw away 5k, then sure. I'll use the airship then. I'm not paying 5k every time I want an inferior teleport.

Keep teleport, limit it or whatever, but keep it, and don't make it exclusive to mages. The last thing I need in /shout is more people selling ports.

Making quests lest monotonous would also help me pick something other than porting.

I use the ship, largely just to daydream while listening to Ghost in the Shell OST's Fish/Silent Cruise though.

Hopefully the issue of only having 5 areas will definitely be one solved in 2.0. I do agree that current teleporting promotes a leve-pickup-leve-pickup monotony, but I do agree with Hulan that if teleporting is done away with there would need to be either increased things to do in a free-roam mindset, or traveling in itself being a bit more interesting. For those who already love traveling, that's great. But many will never consider traveling as fun past the first couple trips because they want to be progressing in at least some manner when doing whatever they're doing, or at least seeing something new in making the trip. But no matter how many little things you add, as long as the game remains almost solely node-based (these regions have mobs, leves, and gathers of your level and no where else will be useful to you at present), for the average player its just a matter of how long it takes for patience to wear thin.

The same can be said for any other aspect of the game, but as it's the only one that doesn't have 'progression' dead-tied to it, it's the one that's hardest to just 'deal with.'

I use the airship every day.

4 anima is worth roughly 20k gil, so 5k for an airship fare sounds fair if you're low on anima. That's why I use it, anyway.

What? 4 anima is worth free. It's not something you pay for. It's free. You regenerate it for free.

Time is money as they say.

No you see, regenerating 4 anima without having to wait 24 hours costs you roughly 20k gil. Therefore, if you have 0 anima and need to get to a different city, you can either turn in items that are worth roughly 20k to get more anima and teleport, or pay 5k at the airship docks.
