Instant Travel - Blue Tracker

#0 - April 9, 2007, 1:44 p.m.

Ok.... I now have 3x 70 lvl characters and a bunch of alts to go with those. I would really like to see Blizzard bring in instant travel from Flight point to flight point. You would still have to explore zones to get the initial flight points but after that you would que the flight masters and instantly land at your chosen FP.

The flight from Ogr to Ungoro takes almost 12 min.....for people that have lives this is a long time to be in the air and doing nothing. The flight points would work the same as the mage teleport and would give us more time to be playing rather then traveling. You would still have to take a zep from Ogr to UC ect.

Please sign this and let Blizzard know that we would like to play more and Travel less.

Signed Ferocity.

The world is a big place. It should feel big. We continue to do what we can to minimize the "pain" of travel by adding flightpoints when we feel they are needed, shortening flight paths, creating more direct flight paths, permanent portals in Shattrath to every major city, adding the summoning ability to meeting stones, and then there are the other "usual" methods such as mage portals and warlock summons.

Instantaneous travel ,while a convenient way to trim off the time it takes to travel, would take away the feel of being in a world that takes a bit of thought to travel through. Sometimes the journey is just as important as the destination and slowing down a little now and then to enjoy that journey isn't such a bad idea. I even pause now and then to look at something in game and think how much I've taken those details for granted after all these years. Travel gives people the chance to do that, or as others have said, run for a bio, grab a drink, acknowledge the other co-habitants in your domicile, grab a bite to eat and whatever else.

Q u o t e:

So mages and shaman experience a lower quality version of warcraft because their teleports and reduced hearthstone respectively, robs them of the "feel" of being in a big world.

I suggest we remove these abilities for their own good, someone must step up to the plate and end their suffering. The poor souls.

They still have to get where they are going first. ;) You're oversimplifying for the sake of creating further argument. You know very well that mages can't just create a portal to anywhere. They can only portal to select cities and only at certain levels. It won't get them to the doorstep of Karazhan for instance.
