    Arrow Expanded Teleport Scroll

    Please expand the places you can teleport to. Include the Greater Teleport locations as well as Eveningstar and Wheloon.

    I'm tired of running to my ship to go to certain places.

    For Eveningstar, I always have to join the party and be like "brb relogging to get there" (DO NOT GET MY STARTED ON THE KEY) and then I gotta' do the following:

    1) Hide offline friends.
    2) Click the LVL text on the WHO tab so it populates names in the LFMs.
    3) Hide groups I am not eligible for.
    4) Click "Last On" in the Guild tab.
    5) Toggle all my feats/enhancements that like to turn themselves off.

    Just let me teleport to Eveningstar please. Jeez. It's like, a video game.

    It would be easier on everyone if we didn't have to get a key that has a silly cooldown and sometimes doesn't work.

    I'm on my 12th life since October and I still haven't gotten one of those keys.

    I would suggest allowing custom teleport locations (like 3 or something) but I'm sure somehow that would be abused. But maybe not? I can't think of any exploits that could occur from it but I'm sure something would happen eventually. Anyway, once again, please expand the teleport locations. It makes me so sad. Also Greater Teleport should work in public instances.

    You shouldn't be able to teleport to Evening star or Wheelon bad enough you can teleport from those places. That said there should be places you can teleport to in the realms and more for Eberron but not from Eberron to the realms or the reverse

    Or you could run LOD chain to Eveningstar and enter through the cavern after flagged.

    Well you can get there by a key. Dungeons & Dragons is flexible. Lore can change. They could put Michael Jackson in the game and make it lore-friendly somehow if they wanted to. Did you not see those annoying steps I have to take? You know how many quests in Eveningstar I simply don't know about because I don't hi the LFMs to learn them? I only hit things like Detour or the druid mumbo jumbo if I recognize the name. The struggle is real for some of us man.

    Still an annoyance. Like... "Let me teleport to harbor, run towards bridge, hop down, enter wall, enter portal, exit cavern. I'd rather relog.

    new teleport locations are definitely a good idea but I think it breaks the world lore too much if you can just teleport to there without getting the key. I would, however, get rid of the cooldown on the key, or make it much shorter.

    Until WOTC aproves teleporting, other than the key, those are your choices.

    Also, I do understand the annoyance.

    So a dimensional teleport would fit your mind better? For the rift between is allowing a bridge between realms or dimensions.

    How about the fact that there is already a planes-caller on most ships (only use is to allow port to Amarath.) Why not expand their power to drop you off in Eveningstar?

    They will not put it in though, for if you can just use a scroll to port there, then how will they sell the the Hall of Heroes Passport to non VIPs that are not iconic, and those to whom have no key or it being on timer (for that matter what would the value of the key be anymore).

    I would have a sig, but Someone might be offended by it so I will just list characters.
    Vicinity, Proximity, and far to many bank toons too list.

    So WOTC has to approve everything to make sure it doesn't mess up lore?

    What about the event quest? You can kill a dev? Kind of breaking the 4th wall there.

    You assume WOTC did not approve of the devs being killed.

    Call it a plane shifting spell or some ****. This needs to happen, and has been needed for years.

    Yes, WOTC has to approve things related to lore. For the event quest, Turbine had to get approval from WOTC to have Elminster in Eberron. This was mentioned on one of the early stream videos shrouded in the comment that "Elminster just about didn't make it".

    Wow! I had no idea. Well, we can still support this idea... all the devs got to do is say "By the way, we'd like to make it easier for players to travel to Eveningstar. Could we add the ability to teleport? It may increase questing over there." and if they fail they can be like "Sorry folks, WOTC said no." We don't have to be the ones to shut them down before they even try do we?

    I would rather the game close then dump all immersion it is supposed to d&d and what wrong with the game is where they left the rules and went their own way.

    Don't need to change all the lore and they key is a special item. regular teleport shouldn't ever do it for sure.

    By lore we shouldn't be able to get to the realms from eberron Period! Amarath yes.

    NOt a plane shift and It needs to never happen, I might be in the very small minority but I prefer as much lore as possible I am not in such a rush to do anything

    In D&D you say 'I go there' and its represented by various carriages, guides and loading screens, and you don't need to hold your finger on W key for 2 mins of boring walk, you just say 'I go there' and putting more shortcuts is moving closer to D&D not further.
