Disable teleport powers in Pocket D

I'd like to see teleport powers disabled in Pocked D rather than just suppressed. I forgot they couldn't be used there last night and tried to use the mission teleporter. The thing fired but of course nothing happened. The power was then useless for two hours. These things need to be made foolproof for those of us who are distracted (or worse)...

They should just allow teleporting in Pocket D...

I mean you can fly, superjump and superspeed in there...why not teleport.

And the same thing in the midnighters club...

Teleporting was disabled to prevent people from teaming with opposing-side characters and getting teleported into the entry areas. Also, griefers would use teleport foe with wild abandon causing mayhem for roleplayers. I forget the exact official reasons, but that's the gist of it.

TP foe would not fire because it treats all players as allied, hero and villain alike.

I would like to be able to TP around though. Perhaps they could just disable the Recall Friend power instead? Although, even then I don't see a point since it wouldn't let you out of the door into the Rogue Isles anyway.

While we're discussing the mission teleporter I'd like to see it target the mission you last received unless you have selected another one. I don't usually 'select' a mission when I'm solo and I've lost count of the number of times I've received a new mission then been teleported to the first mission in the list rather than the one I wanted.

The real reason is to prevent non PD goldcard members from entering the Tiki VIP lounge.

TP powers work outside the mail disco floor (lobby either side and ski place are fine).

I just tested and teleported a villain to the Hero Lobby.
The villain gets 'only heroes allowed' when accessing an exit door, but can use the elevator just fine.

Its another one of those things thats rather poorly implemented, IMO.
If it has to be included, it should be as a passive 'Friendly' power. Rather than a 'hostile' one, as it counts as an interupt for the sake of things like the Medical pool powers, which can be, or could have been useful for RP. But, of course, you cant use them.

And for the spam record, whats WORSE is when people spam teleport next to you, not going anywhere but producing a damnable irritating sounds >=/

Make the TP magnitude of the mission teleporter higher than the TP protection provided by the dampening field in Pocket D?

or just go and stand in the bank vaults coz the TP dampen zone dont extend into there. Unless thats been changed.

also theres no TP dampening round the base TP

I recall it was possible to use recall friend and put people into the cages and they were unable to get out.

Hahaha, that would be brilliant!

TP Ally only works in teams, doesnt it? So, if people are on a team, without prompt for TP on (and you can turn it on in the options) and we have the /stuck command...
Why on earth would that be a problem?
Anyway, surely they can supress only powers such as TP ally only, rather than the annoying blanket they have atm?

Because of griefers who team just to cause trouble. there will be lots of people looking for teams in Pocket D for the valantines event...

No, they can't.

At least not without modifying the power itself to check what zone you are in when it is used, which is a can of worms.

Handily ignoring the fact that you can turn prompt for TP on?
If someone is silly enough to stay in a team with a griefer, and even more so to leave TP prompt off then, IMO at least, they deserve whatever befalls them Its not as if Pocket D is a big zone.

Im just miffed they cant make it an ALLY auto power, rather than a HOSTILE Autopower, which results in the afore-mentioned interupts for certain powers.

^^ this and also because people used to TP into the cages themselves and then couldn't TP out and would have to petition a GM to get them out of there.

Now, however, we have the /stuck command. Which simply resets where you are. E.G. not in a cage.

/stuck has always been in the game.

It doesn't always work, and new players don't always know about it. Same goes for the prompt for TP command*.


*See thread about elitism.

I know. I've been looking at that too.
Well, maybe they should make a new tutorial, as well as the one we have. A 'basics' Tutorial, that runs through things ina bit more depth. Or have a manual that actually explains things, coming with the game. Just ideas to kick around.

Yeah, the funny thing about that is, stuck never worked on those cages. As you weren't supposed to be able to get in there in the first place. And neither did logging out. Hence why the help of a GM was needed.

Well surely you'd have thought they'd have bothered to fix that? -facepalm-

They did. See why TP powers are disabled in PD?

I'm getting dizzy with the cyclic nature of this line of thought.
