[Suggestion]: Hearthstone?

Unread post by DeepFriedMoose »

I want to feel out the response of being able to focus on a Guild Key to teleport a user to their Guild House? I'm thinking once per server reset?

Most Guilds have a pretty high level of magic use, so it would make sense IC. Kind of an "emergency beacon" kind of thing?

Thoughts?

Seems like a "get out of jail card" to me. Assuming you can't bypass fugue, it still enables you to get away from grim situations more than it makes you quickly get back to a RP meeting.

That's already a possibility.

Escape key, logout. Same type of solution, though one is a bit more of a time variable.

I got excited because I don't have many friends in Hearthstone :(

That's the point, and part of the reason why a certain exploit isn't allowed. If you're "cheating" yourself out of combat by logging off, take the penalty of waiting for reset at the very least.

To be fair, the teleport doesn't have to be instant, there is no reason it would allow a cheat like that.

That said, we already have teleport scrolls that can do exactly what you ask.

I like the idea, no idea if it is really all that exploitable but expecially for the non-magic characters this seems to be a fair thing to add... Do they have any other means of teleporting?

Mmh dunno think of it rather as a thing of comfort than balance.... Also a fighter for instance with UMD wouldn't have concentration for teleport to work reliably would he?

Kind of cheapens the ability to teleport, though. You'd be hacking away at some of the flavour available and just making it blander.

That's a very good point. I'm less worried about OOC abuse, but teleport is pretty boss, and it would be a shame to diminish it.

On the other hand, teleport can go all over the place, and take multiple people. A hearthstone would only take you to one place, ever.
