What is this? Irreversible damage?

It says in the Aethryte section, that over-teleportation could cause irreversible damage? Could they really be that mean? What if you have a end game character and you get drunk one night and just teleport over and over....

Don't get drunk then, if you do then you have to accept the consequences for being stupid! Just like RL...go figure!
I'm a huge FFXI fan and was following this game long before it was announced. That being said, I too have to say that permanent consequences for anything, especially teleporting, sounds really dumb.
were did you read this at i cant find it
I think in game you'll just have a set limit u can teleport due to that lore thats all.
Here we go again with the "consequences for my actions? In my mmo? QQ!" They haven't fully explained what they mean, it could be something completely different than what people are thinking, but if they decide to make it part of the game, big deal, it's part of the game. Play it or don't. I'd rather have my choices actually take hold and have meaning than take the WoW approach of letting all your choices be reversed at the drop of a hat, or even worse, on the fly, just to protect their precious little players from having to make things like "decisions."
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

I am guessing the "irreversible damage" is a debuff which, if it stacks to a certain point or stays on for a certain amount of time, will eventually kill you.....where you can then be ressed and do whatever the fuck you please. Its still a fantasy game.
"....and rest is often required after several consecutive jumps, especially as the distance becomes greater."
Really, people. Read something before you go nuts about it.
It's not permanent and it's no worse than "rez sickness".
And there will likely be a limit set on teleports to "prevent irreversable damage". In other words, you won't ever be able to reach "irreversable damage" because an ingame mechanic ( i.e. limits such as required rests ) prevents it. It's called making a game mechanic fit an RP mechanic.
More than likely its referring to your gear and weapons, cause not only does gear have to be repaired now, but its also being speculated that gear can only be repaired by another Blacksmith player or yourself if you chose to lvl that craft.
Its possible that gear will only be allowed to be repaired so many times, and it only has so much durability, which this irreversible damage may be referring to. It'll drop the max durability thus making your gear last shorter periods before it needs to be repaired again, and ultimately how long said piece will last before you have to replace it entirely!
Unless they are saying your soul is in your weapon or clothing and not your body, it has nothing at all to do with gear.
I doubt they have irreversible damage. It sounds more like a lore justification for having a cooldown after teleports. At least that is how it reads to me.
Who's going nuts? It's just a topic of discussion. I was wondering what you guys think that meant.

...And you know this how....its all speculation at this point! That description is very cryptic and doesn't explain it very well, and FFXIV has a very strong emphasis on the weapons and gear, that also break down and travel with you and have to be put back together...it all takes a toll!
It seems to be just lore explaining why there are limits to how far you can teleport (ie, why you can't teleport from one end of the world to the other in a single hop).
I seriously doubt they would implement any sort of damage/debuff for travelling. They have repeatedly said they are trying to make the game more accessible.

Because I can read something for what it says. You know, the little picture you posted? There is nothing "cryptic" about the explaination except for you making it "cryptic". Stop trying to add stuff that isn't there and just read for what it says and it's clear as day.
But feel free to bookmark this thread so you can come back and say "You were right".
So silly, what is it with everyone eager to be the one with the correct answer. Doth not know the meaning of speculation...give it a rest already, and it does not say what type of damage one takes if any at all! As another posted it very well could be just a simple lore-only warning and nothing ever happens, just after so many jumps you aren't allowed to travel again for a time because if you did something bad would happen, but you can't!

And amazingly, you again show you don't read things, or you'd see THAT"S WHAT I SAID ALSO!

Uh no, TacBoy said that....trying to steal someone else's speculation at an attempt to be the one with the correct answer is rather low!

Um, does your mouse scroll? Do you know how to use it?

Now, can you follow along from now on, or do you need a Remedial English course?

Your really good at throwing out the "its all speculation at this point" line, While your posts are almost all speculation to along with everyone elses.
Waiting for:EQ-Next, ArcheAge (not so much anymore)
Now Playing: N/A
Worst MMO: FFXIV
Favorite MMO: FFXI

I'm not trying to be correct though, could care less if I had the right answer or not!
99% likely its just lore that explains why you have a limit on your teleports, which i think is a god thing, makes you think about when you need it over just wanting to use it out of lazyness. This way we can still have things like teleports and such and they will be used more frequently because you have to run back sometimes....works for me id say.
but yes, i wouldnt over think this one, i dont think SE would put somthing that drastic into a game that they want to have apeal to all types of MMO players...that would be a dumb move IMO.
I'm guessing you won't be able to teleport more than x time every x in-game hours/days to certain places. That will make sure people use other type of transportation. Transportation was very important in FFXi and they probably want to keep this approach since it was part of the immersion imo.
I agree, that'll most likely be the case. BUT, just for the fun of speculation, since it seems FFXIV will offer more character customization than FFXI, imagine if the "irreversible damage" had something to do with altering your appearance...
Yea !
It makes me think about something. Let's say you could lose your arm in the teleportation. Then you wouldn't be able to cast some spells or do some abilities or lose some attribute points. You would need to complete a chain quest to get your arm back or get a titanium arm or something (full metal alchemist anyone?) hehe
