The transportion problem needs fixed - and soon.

[Shiyo]

I hope they remove anima completely when they add chocobos and airships. Give mages teleports/warps and remove anima completely, I always thought anima was added in a beta as a "placeholder" before they added a real transportation system :/

Chocobos, airships, and anima would make travel too fast and bland.

[Jynx]

Oh well we should go easy with assumptions my dear =)
What do you think I guess of you with the way you're answering?

I'm not trying to be superior and depreciate the way others play!
I'm trying to show how more fun I (we?) would have with more appropriated transports.


Do you often do locals leves?
Do you find each time fun having to walk hours in order to deliver yours results?
Do you invite (use anima for) people regulary in your shell? (I' don't do it regulary, but I think to people doing so)
Is fun for you to take more than one hour to finish a quest starting in Ul'dah and finishing in Limsa just because of the distance?


There's maybe a balance between the 6 anima recovery per day, and my pretending instant teleport everywhere will grr

6 Anima is far more than we should get per day anyways. Anima is equatable to free transport without even the need to as much as WALK anywhere. Why would chocobos a faster means of walking trump Anima in any way? moving around the world is part of the game otherwise we wouldn't have zones at all, just a bunch of instanced gates to do our leves in.

Hummm...But what is the difference between and anima's teleportation and a MP's teleportion?

The new anima's recevery would be great ah ah ah

[Shiyo]

Anima makes the game anti-social, teleporting makes the game more social. It also makes travel harder, anima with chocobos and airships makes travel too fast, it's simply too much.

[Jynx]

Teleportation spells are earned, not handed to you just for loging in. I'm not against 1-2 free warps a day that makes enough sense for people to get where they are needed in a hurry.

But if you REQUIRE more than that per day you might want to invest in some walking shoes for your character. Once you actually decide to LOOK at the world it's very well put together and not as "COPY PASTED HUR HUR" as many people just spew out.

Well, yes...but...no :/

Personnaly, I would call "fun", "pleasure", "game" the firsts times you go in an area.
But is it still so fun, so game, the tenth time you have to go in Broken water to deliver your local leve?

[Shampooo]

I totally agree with the idea of the transportation' problem.

To my (casuals?) eyes, it's just a shame that in 2011, a game make us walk and walk and walk again.
Why walk?
Because the regen of animas is just too ridiculous for what FFXIV purpose

I recently did a test, and use all the animas I wanted w/o thinking of economy:

My journey begins in Ul'dah
I take 5 local leves
Ohhh shit i don't jnow the english' names of camps -_-"
Well first camp 4 points
second 4 points
third 4 points
fourth 4 points

3 points to go in Gridania for new leves
fifth delivery 4 points

Some leves in mun tuy 1 point

4 points + 1 to do some other leves at other camp

4 to go in the camp of the evening event

3 points to warp friend in Ul'dah

And i don't even add linkpearl to give!!!!
Quest to do!!!


36 points used and a regen /day of 6 -________________________-
Hellooooooo there's a problem è_é

I'm not satisfied at all with the answer:
"yeah yeah we know, we're working on chocobos and airships"
"but later, battle first"

If they can't to do anything quickly, why not just up the anima regen???
Even if they lower it when ships & chocobos arrive???!

And for chocobos, i Hope we will be able to speak/give local leves results while on them

Of course, anima aren't the only possibility
Finish all locals leves with a pnj in city would be nice
or being able to invite ppl in our LS from anywhere, w/o having to be face to face.
Have a home point in city, and be able to warp in a city, and not only at the last etherite touched

This is just dumb, if they didnt intend any sort of walking, then they woulda just said to hell with camps and walking and given infinite anima and or just made you turn in quests at the quest hub. complaining about using 36 anima because you werent able to walk any sort of distance is stupid. Hell, you even used an anima to teleport to mun-tuy...you seriously couldnt walk the distance? that's just lazy. stop crying about anima regeneration, the World isnt THAT big at which you have to be able to teleport to each node, we're forunate enough to be able to teleport to crystals in the first place. everyone wants choco's airships etc, theres no denying that, but complaining about not having enough anima because you wasted 36 is just dumb.

[Mack]

god forbid someone have to actually walk somewhere...

Difference between walking somewhere and walking everywhere smart mouth.

A game has done a system like that, it's called WOW.

Omg, you really read what you want o_O'

The problem isn't I stupidly used 4 animas to go somewhere one time.
The problem is i'll have to walk HOURS to go a thousand times in 4-5 places each 36 hours.

Of course from Ul'dah it's quick to go to Black brush, of cours it's quick to go to Horizon
But it is differen to do horizon => Broken water!?
