Why are there teleport pads

[CUCHULAINN3]

Why do we have teleport pads (like the ones from BWM to prim ) in many areas, if we are not going to be used as one. Also there are orange blobs like the ones deep in BWM that we use to gain to get into the inner chamber, if they too are not used as a teleport. Could it be Oscar was going to implement this and you guyses don't want too?

No. Oscar was against teleporting. We just have a limited palette of sprites to use for maps, so many end up doing double duty.

Then why not delete those pads in the maps. By no means do I want fast travel. That is to magical for AT( Other games yes) but if you guys bring potion throwing then you have to add that. I was just wondering is all.

[rijackson741]

None of the current dev team put them there. We do not change existing content without a good reason, even if we would not have done it that way. That's a rabbit hole that would cost us an absurd amount of time for almost no perceivable gain.

[CUCHULAINN3]

Fair enough.. I assumed (yes makes an azz out of you and me) that it was once a teleport in ancient times and or was a Future thing.. it's not a big thing, just wondering

[rijackson741]

There are idiosyncrasies in the maps. Mainly, the forms of the shadows are not consistent across the world. There are also some holes in long existing quests. But as long as nobody (or very few people) notice these things we leave them alone. Players would rather have new content, than have us fix odd things in the world that they had never even noticed were a problem

[CUCHULAINN3]

I never said it's a issue buddy, just asking a question. I like the new stuff. To be honest teleport is pointless. Unless you change the whole world to magic and mages and that / isn't need yet and or for it yet. Maybe if you add another 5k tiles and more cities but I like the route it's going/ so I only asked because what I sent. And wasn't I wasn't asking it to be fixed

Its a kazuul thing..

The only teleports are around Throdna, with one exception I can think of, that being a certain boobytrap that was supposedly laid by Andor and his mysterious companion.

Total crackpot theory:

What if Throdna *is* his companion, and he knows how to set up "portkeys" to get back and forth between his home and Andor on his travels?

Well i guess telepoet pads are for those who are tired of dealing with wyrms
