Re-look at Portal destinations


Ad Astra

Hi:

This is mostly a quality of life suggestion, than anything else.

I would like to see the destination of base and Oro portals be more practical, in some zones where they place you, really makes no sense, its the middle of no-where and there is no reason why one would want to go to that area of the zone.

For instance lets take Steel Canyon, the base and oro portals place you in the far corner, somewhat near the train station which connects the high end zones. Now the real zones of interest in SC is Positron, the University/Market, and perhaps ICONS. Also the miriad of missions at SC tends to be towards the mid area of SC as well. So why not have the destination portals be by Positron, in fact place it next to the portal entry, which is by Positron.

Lets look at Independence Port, why not place the destination portal near TV, somewhere in the middle of the map?

As a rule, it would make more sense to me, if the portals were to deliver you at the middle of the maps, and not at the most useless extreme.

So why not move the destination portals to more practical locations?

Then why are you asking to move the location to the freakin' middle of Indy Port?

The only items of interest anywhere near TV is...Terra Volta itself, and the Brickstown gate. Pretty much everything else is right in the vicinity of the SG and Ouro drop-offs.

I actually like the location of the Steel Canyon drop point.

For my lowbies turning in costume salvage, it's just a short run to the train to go see Annah.

I also use it as my second location for teleporters, for just that same easy access to the train. If I can only afford a couple of Beacons (really can just afford a single 'porter) - the two places I put them are Kings Row (across the street from the train) and Steel Canyon (a block or so away from the other train).

So I guess you might find that not everyone agrees with your assessment that the drop points are not placed in a "useless extreme".

Sorry, /unsigned.
