Teleport/Greater Teleport Updates

[MysticTheurge]

Usti and MT,

S*FU (said jokingly ) and go make your own thread about graphics!

I tried that! I never got a Dev response!

Anyway... fix teleport too!

[Ustice]

Don't mind him, MT. He's just cranky because I posted more bugs than him.

[MysticTheurge]

Plus I was going to point out that our discussion is the only thing keeping this thread alive.

What do we want? More teleport and greater teleport locations ... and for greater teleport to work in public instances!
When do we want it? As soon as feasibly possible given the coding requirements involved!

I'm not cranky, I'm always an a**hole.

"When will then be now?"
"Soon"

Love the Spaceballs quote, one of my all time fav movies! LOL

I'd be happy with even a comment addressing Greater Teleport in public instances. Tell us it's on the radar but a ways off. Tell us the dev who said it was a bug and would be fixed 'next patch' was off the reservation. Tell us this isn't considered a bug anymore, and won't be fixed. Or tell us the fix is included in 6.1. (Hey, I can dream)

Just show us some respect and tell us something! Please?

Who's this "we" you speak of? I at least you can go to multiple locations... Us clerics can only go one place with Word of Recall, and not a very useful place (unless you want to mine for ore)... (Okay, I KNOW you play a cleric, but its funnier that way. )

Good morning folks (is it morning? I've lost track)

"When will then be now?"
"Soon"

You get extra coffee and a big honkin chocolate chip cookie for the Spaceballs Reference.

[Samy]

PLEASE fix Greater Teleport so that you can use it in public areas. It's getting really irritating having to go into an instance to be able to go to Gianthold.

[DaveyCrockett]

Necroing a forgotten thread about a subject that is still very important to me (and others).

Any forthcoming attention to Teleport/Greater Teleport?

Can you take 'Marketplace Tent' off the list, and make it 'Marketplace' at least? (and have it take me to the same place a portal to Marketplace does).

Something.. anything?

[Mhykke]

It's pretty ridiculous after all this time the devs haven't indicated about even caring to fix the teleport situation.


Good necro.

[GlassCannon]

Indeed. It's a real bother to be incapable of going where it is you want to go, whereas Enemy NPCs can obviously do just exactly that and partywipe you with the lag they cause.

Further, Greater Teleport in town on the Newbie Dock, sending level 1's out to Shavarath, would be simply delightful. They are bound to the Harbor anyway...

[Paragon]

We are now going in to Mod 8, and there are still no updates to Teleport or Greater Teleport.

Will we be seeing any in Mod 8, 9?


Also, Greater Teleport can still only be cast in an instance.

Will this be fixed for Mod 8 (considering it was supposed to be fixed before Mod 5)?

I think adding Meridia to Greater Teleport would be nice.
I think adding The Tower of The Twelve to Teleport would be nice, and would make sense.
I think changing 'Marketplace Tent' to 'Marketplace' and having the zone-in area be the same as a Portal Marketplace teleport would help to polish things a bit as well.


Updated to be current (9 Months later)

Well, I would like to see the tp and gtr tp spells add several more locations... Meridia, the Twelve, etc. It would also be nice if they would make greater teleport work in the town, or alternatively make it so the teleport and greater teleport spells can go to all the same places. They really should go to the same places with the only difference being the mass effect on the greater version anyway.

[DaveyCrockett]

Perhaps an implementation via crafting?

Bear with me here..

Teleport and GT would have the same base locations. The difference being the mass effect (as suggested above).

Both spells would require a spell component, which would be obtainable as a rare drop (and never consumed).

Certain key locations throughout the game can have a rare ingredient drop, that when applied to the spell component item would add that location to the list for the person casting the spell.

This technology would work for teleport/GT clickies as well.

Bad?

[Gennerik]

Seriously, if they are going to fix the Teleport line, then in addition to any of the current locations (with the addition of Meridia and the Twelve), each spell should be able to teleport you to the beginning of any quest that's you've already beaten (with the only difference being the number of people teleported). They should both also be able to be used anywhere, and only teleport group/raid members.
