Wow, this is certainly a clever solution. As much as I will now be unhappy waiting it is still a heck of a lot faster than taking the boat.

Man if only those ebon war spears weren't lore I'd have a couple backpacks worth of them. So easy/common, especially if you're camping allizewsaur and bored.

As much as I hate it, it makes sense.

Although getting groups will be a much vaster pita in the midlevels.

I wish wish wish the boats would work =(. Why won't they? Network code hopelessly boggled?

As far as I understand it, this is actually faster than boats since there's no wait-time when you're ported (you're not on a boat). So while the time is about the same, it might be a tiny bit faster. In any case, if we had boats, finding groups would be about equal to what we have now. So ,if you were to base this entirely on how fast it's to get from freeport to BB, for the sake of finding a group, then you'd have to get rid of boats because they're downtime. Why should crossing those zones be instant anyway???? I can't cross west karana instantly. I can't go from west karana to north karana to east karana instantly. I have to travel. The pita about translocaters/boats on timers is that because there's no traveling involved (except with boats, but you still wait), it's even more boring waiting!

Enable swimming so that we can swim from freeport to BB (or run if we have lev). They're zones just like any other zone. Perhaps running with lev could actually be faster than waiting for the timer/boat. Downside is you can't train fishing :/

I'm more curious as to why we can't have boats because I'm pretty sure SOD has them and they run off of Titanium to I believe.

So if we get on the boat in butcher. We decide for some reason to get off the boat on sister island and wait another 13 minutes?

What?

That's not right. If you're going to make us wait, then give us the option to port directly to freeport. It NEVER took 26 minutes to get from butcher dock to freeport dock (worst case). You got on the boat and you stayed there.

Would be a 23 minute pause if it were a direct shot.

I'll be adding a translocator to "Brother" Isle shortly. I didn't really notice one was missing there...I mean, i #zone everwhere I need to go lol. Remember, let me know if there are mobs that need to be moved in OOT. I may add an option for evils to get dropped off in the water instead of the docks. I could make it automatic as well.
