New Lix Port for T6 complete

Post#1 » Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:21 am

This is in no way a complaint merely just a thought. However I was wondering since the addition to allow people to be ported to the port in NPC for t6 zones as opposed to having to walk across the zone if having cleared both zones completely. Would it be possible to just allow it to port us directly into the zone?

Overall it ends up with the same result (you being ported to the zone) but it cuts out one zone. As it stands while the port to NPC is convenient it doesn't really help me any and in general its probably still safer/faster in the long run for me to walk.

The reason being my situation is that generally I end up 6 boxing, and I rarely use the guild hall. The reason being that I don't have a donor guild hall porter item so I can't go directly there, and I can't bind in the guild hall/gate to it. Also don't have the stillmoon dropped guild hall porter, but at 10 seconds a cast I would not use it for time reasons.

The NPC giving the better port in the guild hall gives me incentive to use it, however it opens up the issue of extra zones. In order to use that NPC I must gate to the forest, then walk to the NPC and zone into the guild hall. After this I use the NPC to port myself to skyfire then talk to the NPC in skyfire to port into VP.

So in order to take advantage of the new port to VP I must go through 3-4 zones depending if I start in forest or not before reaching my destination. Versus if I were to just use the normal zones porter in forest it would take me 2-3 again depending on if I start in forest.

Now while the extra zones don't seem like a huge deal, when you are boxing a large group zoning in general is a hit or miss kind of thing. Some days I have no issues, some days half my group times out/crashes mid zoning. As a result generally speaking I will take the route that requires the least amount of zoning because if I have to walk a few more feet, its going to be faster than reloading 3 characters.

TLDR : Any way to allow straight port to VP/Fear if flagged as cleared the zones instead of to the NPC causing an extra zone. Also any chance the normal zones teleporter could recieve the same functionality as Lix?

Again I am content with the way it is, if thats the way it must stay then np. Just a convenience thing.

they changed the dropped/bought one btw to stay up and port more than 1 person. infinitely easier - also porting to zone in is convient if you have a box or guildy who hasnt done the zone before 8)

You should get this , it's a long cast yes , but you once you poped it you can port up all the char you want before it fade after 30 sec I think. Just need to wait for the Spawner to zone out last and the fairy will depop

The donor clicky (Last time I tried) is 1 second cast, but only ports 1 person. Its a PITA when you want to send all your toons home as you need to click it multiple times.

Would be nice to have it stay up for longer.

Good to know, I assumed it needed to be popped for each toon which is why I haven't gone out of my way for it since 10s per toon would take too long =P thanks for the tip.

Did it get reduced? last I looked it was near 200k in chardok.

EDIT : Yea just looked, its 120k in chardok. Got it off stillmoon so no big thing either way.

Still be keen if the porters just dumped you into VP or Fear instead of to the porter npc to cut out a zone for boxers.

Bomb, as pointed out, you can farm the fairy or buy it in Chardok.

I for one am happy not to have to run across a zone before zoning into another. The devs saved us time so be happy. =)

you can pop as much fairy as you want , click it 10 times = 10 sec= can port 10 char ( 18 in your case )

As stated, isn't a complaint and I am grateful. Was just an idea/suggestion since its effectively what is occuring now anyways so if its possible to cut out a zone why not. Im fine regardless of the outcome just a convenience thing as I stated.
