Translocators! Your opinion.

[Steam65641]

I do dont agree that when you use it to go to OOT that it spawns you infront of the KoS sister so she can own you. In live you could jump off the boat before you got there. So, I believe the spawn location for the zone in should be at the end of the dock, where it is safe.

I do not agree with changing it to where they always port because this is a LEGIT classic server. The only one I have found. Changing this would make it NON legit. Let the tanslocator's always be spawned but only port every 15 mins and do a zone wide when they start so everyone knows they are working. Changing this to where it always works will take out the pleassure of having a port class.

To everyone whining about the boat taking time.. Welcome to Everquest.. Where you wait on the boat..

Thanks

But that is NON-legit. On live when the boats did not work, TLers were always up and always porting.

How so? A non-porter still has to run to EFP then get ported to BB. Or Qeynos to Tox. There will still be a very high demand for porting.

Wait on the boat yes, wait on a TLer no.

[Steam65641]

But. If you wait on the docks long enough the boat does come.. its just in its secret human form.

[Steam65641]

also, what you are saying about waiting on a boat yes. waiting on TL no. What is the frigging difference?.. The TL is on here to resemble the boat.

'What is the frigging difference?'

The difference is the ship ride itself, which is the entire point of having the ships. The present system emulates the bad (the waiting) while wholly eliminating the good (the ride). At the very best the TL wait makes for a poor substitute.

I'm saying that in 1999, 2000, 2001 etc if the boats were broken Sony/Verant put the TLers up 24/7.

Waiting on the boat/TLer is the classic experence. You sat on the dock forever then sat on the boat forever... At least the way it is now, you only have half the wait. Ive run to the docks in FP, TLer was there. landed in OOT, TLER was there... Took 2 quick zones and I was in BBM. This should be the exception, not the rule. The insta TLer is just plain lazy. The only issue I have is that evils traveling through OOT are dropped with a KOS Sister between them and the OOT TLer. At least with boats, we could hide from them on the far side of the boat, and didn't need an invis to get to the TLer.

Again in classic on live, when the boats were broken you had TLers 24/7.
