Anyone know what the cooldown is on this close to $10 power?

The cool down is at 30 minutes. I'm looking at the description right now.

Edit: Here, just look. Not sure if I'd want to buy. While it might look cool, I don't think it's worth the current price in the market. That's what travel powers are for.

The Team Transport power summons a vehicle that teleports the caster and nearby teammates to the active mission's entrance. Teammates within the transport radius receive a prompt asking if they would like to be teleported to the active mission. Heroic alignments summon a Longbow Chaser and Villainous alignments summon an Arachnos Flyer. It can be used once every 30-minutes.

When I get home, I am buying one of these SO FAST. I might even buy one for a friend or two, just so we could always port right to missions.

Does it only work "in zone"?

Memphis Bill called this one in his response to the ever popular "Can i has a car" threads.

One way to have them "somewhat" work.

For all that, I know some people *would* still like to pull up in front of a mission. So how do we do it?

A temporary power, based on the same tech from the Mac/Valkyrie pack Mission Teleporter.

How does this get around the various issues?


Terrain - It doesn't pass terrain. It just arrives.

It follows the same 'rules' as the mission teleporter - it's not indoors, doesn't go to contacts, etc. Just mission doors.

Customizing - It's not "your" vehicle. It's a temp power. You've called a cab, limo, or other transport.

Power animation - since you're skipping the space in between, no powers can be used 'til you arrive anyway.

What if you are soloing. Will it work for just one person?

If so, I am grabbing this.

It goes to whatever selected mission you or the team leader has, so I think.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure. Never saw "TEAM" mission TP o_o;.

If you are soloing your team size is 1. The power works on everyone on your team.

At 700 paragon points this will be going on my "when it's on sale list", it so easy to get around nowadays and when travel is somewhat inconvenient I have my personal mission porter power.

May be in the same boat. Especially with a lot of TFs being rewritten/reprogrammed to avoid hazard zones.

This gets around the issues with the "give us vehicles NAO" issue.

They could release multiple vehicle models in the future.

Yes, works solo.

If everyone in a team of 8 has one, then the whole team can TP to the next door every 4-5 minutes.

Yes, it goes across zones, just like Mission TPer.

When you cast it, a Longbow or Arachnos flyer appears. For the next few minutes, if you stand near it, you'll get a prompt about every 10 seconds: TP to mission?

And bought it, and it does indeed work for a team of 1.

You click transport, and, pow, you are at your mission door.

The Praetorian version is gold and grey, very spiffy

Maybe the word "revolutionize" would be a bit hyperbolic but this should do some interesting things on certain speed TFs. This power would be a bargain at twice the price.

THIS. Even if half the team has it, it would cut down the time on some tfs, not just speed ones.

Imagine the shard tfs.

It would be interesting to see how much time shaves off a Dr. Quaterfield Task Force.

And I wonder if the transports charge you extra for going to the Shadow Shard... I mean,,, with the way gas prices are these days...

My static team already runs 1:45 Doc Qs. I can't imagine what this will do to our times. Definitely a must-purchase, as soon as work's finished.
