Thread: 2.0 Aetheral Crystals

Convenience (which is probably what you were talking about since pressing the "return"-button before you can teleport is not "hard" or "not easy/simple" in any way, it's just less convenient) nothing bad.
Especially in an MMO it's important you can team up fast without saying "Oh sorry, please everyone, wait 25 minutes until I arrive because I'm at the other end of the world "
Making it convenient is never a problem unless you also don't give any rewards and other appeals for exploration (like FFXIV right now..).
When my friends need me I should be able to teleport to them instantly. Thanks to anima, I pretty much am able to do that.
But when I have the time I also enjoy riding my chocobo all the way from Northern La Noscea to (close to) Ishgard to complete a quest. If there were special things you can find on the way, maybe more players would be interested in not teleporting everywhere.
But even if they still only teleport in the end, shouldn't it be THEIR desicion and not yours?
Just because you prefer inconvenience others have to not enjoy their game either?

I can cast spells on a whim, I fail to see a difference. In 2.0 I believe they will have a quest where you earn teleportation.

Down with the current anima system. Lazy asses.

Why don't you just walk if you feel teleporting it ezbutton? You don't mean to imply just because you want to do boring stuff everyone has to do it as well do you?

I, personally, love exploring. I do that in XI pre-abyss/vw tele. I went hunt down every coffer for map (requires you to run though a zone w/ map first finding it). All very fun I love the sense of taking the new world in through traveling.

Of course once you have explored every little section there are why force player hours upon hours of traveling just for the sake of time waste? Bad game design.

I think the current teleport could use some back story yeah. But they're planning a mini quest for that I believe so it's all good.
