Eh not too sure about this. On the one hand it sounds incredibly useful, on the other hand it's already quick enough to get to RWZ. Also, 50 Merits for 5 uses does sound a bit unfair. Unless you go to a Mothership Raid, you won't have that much merits flying around to justify the cost for value.
So, /half-signed.
I got 240 of them sitting around in a big pile... never been on a raid.
Anyway, the 50/5 thing was a suggestion, not an absolute.

You can get other temps like the HVAS for Merits and they're limited use, so why not?
It could be handy, plus we could get a nifty purple vanguard glowing symbol to drop on the ground maybe.
Oh, there would have to be a nifty purple Vanguard symbol.

Maybe make it a Vet Reward instead? Vanguard Teleporter?

Agreed, I don't want to wait 2 years for a marginally useful TP power, which is pointless until you're level 35.
I like the idea of it being purchasable via Vanguard Merits though, it makes sense that the Vanguard would provide some sort of quick way for heroes / villains to rally to the War Zone.
Like the idea only change I'd make is to put the TP arraval point within the zone, perhaps at the normal meet up point for mothership raids (who name escapes me at the moment - played til 1am last night then didn't sleep well as I carried on playing the game in my dreams)
Point Du Hoc.
I like this idea

Nope, and I'll tell ya why. I don't want this for zapping into the War Zone from the outer city, I want it for zapping into the base from inside the war zone when I've been running Borea missions and I can't be bothered to run all the way back from beyond the mothership past all the pylons.

I'd imagine that Vanguard would be reluctant to allow teleportations into the base.
*remembers the hospital teleportations do just that*
Um, nevermind...

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.
They also have a teleport system for dispatching you to and from the Rogue Isles and sundry other random incursion locations. Beside where the Hero Corps Op/Fateweaver stands...
And then there's the teleport that takes you through from the base to the RWZ...
And the ones that take you from the buildings around the city to the base...
Isn't it a bit early to be drinking that much, Ghostie.

Ah I see an ulterior motive.
Out of interest where does the base tp drop you in the RWZ?

I'm at work, I'm allowed to...
okay, not really, but....
Still, portals with static locations are in my book rather different then teleporting from anywhere into (a fixed location in) the base.

But the internal base teleporter sends to and from missions, which could be to any location outside the War Zone. (It's actually that 'portal' I was figuring would be used as the internal end point for the proposed power.)
Also, you craft this teleporter using Vanguard terminals, sp presumably they aquire some form of personal keying which means an authorized Vanguard person is needed to operate them...

According to Vidiot Maps, the SG Beacon is SSE of the Vanguard base, just over the border into the Pavia region, near the Ace badge. It's in a sunken section which has a huge great statue in it (and usually a couple of squads of Rikti troops).

Buy the cyborg pack to get a 'teleport to zone/base hospital' power, usable every hour. That leaves behind a large crater. Bonus!
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

I was going to suggest it should drop you at the same place as the SG bases do or the place where you get dumped when a motherships shields go up, but you're suggestion seems cooler so its a /signed for me.

I was trying to figure out what power this was, as I bought the cyborg pack and hadn't seen it. The I saw the crater piece.
Something else to use Vanguard Merits for. Essentially something a bit like the Ouroboros portal, but it takes you to the teleport portal in the Vanguard base. Maybe 50 Merits for 5 uses.
