Ok Town Portal is out of the game (Good)
But what if i join a game and want to play with peoplethat already playing, i need take near waypoint and walk all the way to meet others?
We cannot have a one side TP?
Or ideas?
Looking for a Blizz qod on that if possible.
Blizzard Quote (Bashiok):
We've always been trying to see if we can create a better system than town portals, making waypoints the main travel back to town mechanic. But, it's looking like it's just simply more fun and a quality-of-life-nicety to be able to jump back to town from anywhere even if waypoints are all over the place. Plus it's not really that hard to avoid the few pitfalls that TPs in Diablo II had.
There is actually a mechanic that allows you to jump from town (one-way) to any other player in the game.
We'll be developing the game up until release, and then likely well after.
To me that sounds like Town Portal are coming back? woot woot
They won't be usable in the same manner as D2, but it definitely sounds like they will be back. Maybe only usable in some areas (like NOT in boss fights (Ancients)), cooldowns, etc.. Which is awesome news to me.
I love TPs!! mainly for the eye-candy, loved them since D1 so this is great news for me, and I'm sure they'll find, if they didn't already, to make it work without being abused
