Chengmingz Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I agree with Burns. Even people who do have some experience in taking risks can sometimes end up stuck and that teleport can be their lifeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brulant Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 What about an item with a long recharge that all players can pick up permanently from the Paper Cabin? That'd be pretty easy to work into the tutorial too and would teach people where their inventory actually is... I'm not sure if it's possible to create a completely untradeable item with the system that we have right now, though, and trading sort of blows a big hole through that idea.

Shemhazaj Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 [color=#808080][i]yes, twice a month (DoT) and single use on those days per player wouldn't stop young ones from venturing into unknown or make it too easy.[/i][/color] [color=#808080][i]In fact it'd make it even more daring, because now if someone gets stuck (s)he just clicks on LHO button and expects to be teleported back.[/i][/color] [color=#808080][i]With the link Kings and people with GoE spells would be able to use their abilities as they intended.[/i][/color] [color=#808080][i]I'm not so sure about the idea of jumping into some land area for citizens tho.

Udgard Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Playing devil's advocate: - Giving people free, regenerable teleport spells defeats the purpose of some other spells. Send to tunnel of war, for example, which were often used to "jail" people would be moot because people would just teleport out right away (unless this was a no-jump location now, last time I was there it weren't). It also circumvents a lot of viscosity, as people would just jump back to paper cabin after venturing deep to, say, the east lands. While this already happens with current teleport spells and alliance jump, making it even more widespread would not be a good idea IMHO. - It would be a good tool for beginners though in case they got stuck (so they don't have to wait until someone with send_to spells to get them out - which could take more than a day), so I would suggest instead a limited, unregenerable cast of papercabin teleport spell for MP3s (activatable after free roam phase, otherwise it might mess with the tutorial shades battle.) There are two options I can think of for this right now: = An untradable enchanted memory stone that is automatically added to the inventory after finishing the initial story mode. (as in maebius's suggestion) = A free MD shop item (like the free regen ritual). This can be further customized to appear only for MP3s (using the same mechanic as the illusion points shop that only appeared for Mp2s and Mp7s) if deemed necessary.

Kaya Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 An other option is making it available to unallied people only, that will be replaced with the jump to leader function once you join an alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamisha Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well one of the things we could look at is the obvious. Allow teleporting in sanctuaries and places where people can easily get lost such as the labyrinth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly there to prevent you from getting to the other side easily and with viscosity the maze is hard enough as it is already, in my opinion.

Magistra Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I know my choices are teleporting me, that is what I am saying. I chose the principle of Light and as a result I was transported to a really awful place. And most of the posts here mention a DoT as the day on which a jump out should be allowed. The nearest DoT is May 12, en by then I will be long dead here without food or water. I was a little boisterous when I wrote this. You should be too if you were stuck here. It was a poor attempt on my part to be funny. Seriously: I think such a jump should be allowed, not on a special day, but maybe once a month. Not more, because it has to be for emergencies. @ Chewett: I dug this topic up after six months because it happens to me now and not six months ago.

If they are shared items then some people would likely never get a chance to have them because others would grab them and hoard them "just in case". Especially people that practically live in that sanctuary anyway. And then people that are unable to get on when the announcement is made that all sharable items are back for the grabbing, they would just be stuck. In fact, I don't know about anyone else but I had a pretty difficult time grasping the game when I joined. I still have trouble at times. Throwing sharable items at them is only going to up the difficulty rather than giving them a pretty little, shiny emergency button with a warning "You get only so many of these so use it only if you absolutely need to."

Pipstickz Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 If story mode takes you somewhere you can't leave, it is my experience that it will remove you from there in, at the most, the next two or three pages (meaning, yes, three days if you want to do 24 hour meditation, but that's your own choice). If that doesn't happen, use the help request button to talk to an LHO about getting a teleport (not to say that they will do so definitely, I'm not sure). Most things can be solved with a little patience. I would caution people not to request a teleport unless they've got a good reason, not just "I'm in the Tribunal and I don't feel like waiting to get out" or something similar. Don't be the player who cried "stuck" Kyphis the Bard and Watcher 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
