Thread: 2.0 Teleportation and you!

So what is your great next idea ? 2.0 Logging in and You!" lets add up some random quests at the logging in screen, where you have to go and read 10 topics in the main forums and fill up some random poll so that people can earn the "Right" to log in into the game......

Damm casuals and their handed down log in powers <.<

Not that I agree with either side, but I just thought I'd point something out. It's not so much people care about how others play the game, it's about features that will influence how the game is designed overall. In example, on paper, the planned content finder should make it much faster to locate a party, and those who wish to meet groups otherwise don't have to use it. The problem arises, however, in that that game may be developed around the content finder, creating a reliance on instanced content, and a lesser importance on world design and exploration. With anima and teleportation it's the same deal; Sure, you don't have to use it, but if it's the main method of travel, features like ships, trains and such may suffer from the developers placing less effort into them, and the world design may not be as interesting or intricate because, hey, everyone just ports everywhere anyway, so why bother?

Now, I'm not saying any of that is definite, and that the developers will think that way, I'm just saying why people are concerned about features like this. Sure, we don't have to use them, but when the game is designed around them, what choice do we have?

Couldn't say it better myself.

It's not as much that what unrelated strangers are doing bothers me, it's the fact I rarely ever get to see these "Unrelated strangers" amazingly enough most people bonded in MMOs because they had to band together to do stuff, travel included at times. Everytime I see a system that lets people segregate themselves from interacting with people other than their few friends they play with makes the game feel less alive in my opinion.

Really? This BS anima/Teleportation is bad thread again. If you hate anima so much. Which in place for
casuals. You may as well quit now because your really gonna hate content finder.

Thanks for the pro-tip but I'll just keep telling the developers what I think would be best for the games development. You know the reason why they made the forums.

Also to be blunt (You obviously didn't read anything at all) this thread is not really about not wanting Anima it's about having a sense of accomplishment and belonging in the game world. Wouldn't it be rad if instead of a zone just being there we knew all about what was going on while we aquired our teleportation nodes?

what is best or what you want? I do think all of us have the right to post ideas and feedback but what one person wants isn't always whats best for the game. Though I don't think this subject (your idea not all the have to run everywhere folks ideas) qualifies since it is a good idea and would add to the game as a whole.

I'm not sure about other people when they suggest stuff but I try to look at it as a whole as what would make my gameplay experience not only more fun but also more engaging and longer lasting.

I may be a rare breed but I never understood the "Give it to me now" mentality of many people IMHO it's a short sighted road to a game with no substance. Heck look at how many people were throwing fits over the relic weapons over RNG and now that most people are passed that RNG hump and have discovered that it's also now not as much RNG as they were going on about but now a grueling challenge. They all went silent or they started to complain about the other end of the sepctrum.

While I respect the people who argued about RNG and upon discovering the RNG was the least of their worries they clammed up and started to buckle down for the work ahead of them, I have no respect for the people who jumped onto the other side of the ship and started to complain about the hard work part of relic items.

I guess that what I "Enjoy" about the game is what I think best that's obvious. But I do try to keep myself in perspective and not just shove all of my ideas down peoples mouths. Hell if it was my decision Anima ports would be seriously crippled to a 1-2 times a day thing with other methods available at cost of other supplies/items in the game.

I would rather FORCE people to walk around than teleport so I have a more lively world to play in. But I'm not going to suggest FORCEing people into playing the way I want them. I want the game to be a place where instead of being forced you would be stupid not to walk around when you had the chance.
