Greater Teleport Doesn't work

[pelenor]

Hello all, I have a 14th level wizard and when I try to use Greater teleport, no matter where I am, an error message of "This action cannot be done in a public place" or something like that. Anybody know what gives? Is it just my character?

You can only use it in a dungeon...

[oberon131313]

have you tried it inside a quest? Are you getting this message inside a quest?

GT is limited to non-public instances (explorer zones and quests) because it's an AOE.

If you have the vale pack, you could teleport to merida with your regular teleport. then turn around and step into the vale and use greater teleport.

As others have mentioned, you can only use it in a dungeon, but wilderness areas count as dungeons too.

You can step into the Subterrane in the marketplace or into any quest or explorer zone and then cast the spell.

"This action cannot be done in a public place"

One would think this would have been your clue as to what's wrong.

Are not wizards supposed to be intelligent?

Yeah and that sucks. I never understood why.

Haste is also AoE but still everybody can spam it in public areas.

Maybe because they want to sell teleport rods in DDO store?

[basketaske]

would you want to click "no" 50 times every time you're doing your bank business?

[flynnjsw]

^^ This. You actually have to either accept or deny the GT. I would rather not have that keep popping up myself.

[Templarion]

Or how about just waiting? Pop up goes off in 20 seconds. After you get used in it, you dont even notice it.

Yeah, I rather would click 50 times in bank than run to Subterrae for taxi ride every time.

Sub is all of litteraly 10 seconds away from the bank. I'd rather not have the pop up myself. Besides, it "could" even be used to grief. You go to click on an accept for something, but it was a GT instead of say a party accept.

Unlikely since the spell was in the game 2-3 years before the store existed.

[Rubiconn]

I wouldnt want to have to click or wait for the pop up to go away particularly in meridia when there are 6 shrouds about to start and there are 50 people standing there, I can only imagine what the server will do in this instance while it waits for all those pop ups to go away or get denied.

Instead of thinking only of how things affect you perhaps you should consider the others around you, this is not meant just for the OP but everyone in general.

Have you tried to actually understand what you've been told?

[WarDestroyer]

Spell could work only on party members

[Lorz]

No as it was this way YEARS before the store or F2P.

It is WAI.

Anyone who can cast Greater Teleport can also cast regular Teleport and that can be done in public instances. I'm pretty sure that Teleport scrolls are cheaper than Teleport Rods.

It would have been nice if they could code Greater Teleport to hit all party members in the AoE, but it hits everyone in the AoE, so limiting it to private instances makes sense.

[sweez]

So you can't kidnap people.

[Lorien_the_First_One]

So you can't kidnap people.

They have a no button.
