velious port ground spawns

Kender · #1 06-22-2013, 04:27 AM

remember when velious first came out you had to run to the portal rings and pick up a ground spawn before you could port there?

was such a cool idea. people had to actually go explore there first.

Will that be implemented here?

p.s. each zone had it's own tooth. they were backwards compatible. so if you had the last tooth (cobalt scar) you could port everywhere. if you only had GD, you could go to iceclad and GD only

Iceclad < GD < WL < CS

There should be no reason this isn't implemented on velious release as far as I know. I also thought this was a cool idea back on live.

I was curious though does anyone remember the spawn time on them?

I predict many assholes will be sitting at the rings destroying teeth as they spawn to prevent other guilds.from progressing early on in velious.

Even if someone wanted to waste their time trying to pick up ground spawns, it only hinders return trips via porting. You can still run all you want.

Does that even work?

I'm pretty sure p99 like pretty much all emu serves has issues with ground spawns in that anyone who zones can see them, but a player who was there picking the last one up can't. Like if I go pick up Book of Souls in Hate, then another rogue who just ported up runs there, he sees another Book already on the table but I don't.

Doesn't get taken out until Luclin release day, so they better be in and required.

"As you know, youngster, we of the League of Antonican Bards have made
it our primary goal to travel to places before others. It is our duty
to see what hasn't yet been seen and to make song of it when we return.
We carry news, song and spirit to all of Norrath. We have also taken it
upon ourselves to carry personal news in the form of letters wherever
possible. And that's what I've called you here to talk about.

- Velious portal teeth (Great Divide, Wakening Lands and Cobalt Scar)
are no longer required to teleport to those locations. These items are
also no longer soul bound.

Ha, I'd forgotten about these. Man, there's so much I've forgotten about these old days. Cannot wait! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

I totally forgot about this, that's awesome and I can't wait to do the run. Ground spawns on P99 seem to be instant repop too (definitely not 30 seconds, seems like .5), so it shouldn't be too difficult to grab a tooth, even if entire guilds are collecting.

I'm fairly sure every "ground spawn" is on its own timer.
