Hi all, Just a heads for those of you who are not yet aware, there are changes coming with how the enterbasefrompasscode command and macros will work. To summarize, the GM only command will no longer work anywhere and will only work if you are within range of a base portal. There are several options coming. Please visit the official feedback thread to read up on what changes are coming. Thanks!

Why keep the Oro portal then? It is unlocked easily, has a brief cooldown and costs no influence yet provides a shortcut to travel. That runs counter to everything you are saying about the base portals. As I recall, the discussions over the past year, which included people from Homecoming, discussed copying the Oro portal as a replacement for the command. There was never any mention of multiple, overly complicated and expensive items. In fact, I believe it was one of you who first suggested copying the Oro portal, so hopefully you can understand and appreciate the disappointment people will have with regard to the new options. Appreciate the work you all put into this, however please try to understand the disappointment here.

To be fair, I think your comment here is very, very misleading and is completely ignoring valid criticism of what we are being given. I do not think that is fair. At least for me ( and I could be wrong), based on the various posts and discussions over the past year on this topic, I think most were looking for what essentially is a copy of the Oro portal. Something that could not be used in combat with a short animation and a brief recharge. That is all and that solves the issues with the command. The Oro portal itself is a simple unlock, has a brief cooldown, requires no influence and does not need to be recharged by day jobs. What you are giving us is 4 powers to manage that need to be recharged or require a not so insignificant inf cost and have very long recharges. Looking at data is fine and all, but actually playing the game with people to see how and why they are using this stuff probably makes more sense here, at least to me. Personally, I would be happy with a copy of the Oro portal that goes to the base instead.

Bill knows where its at! 😁

Who is suggesting this? Once again, the base command was not an instant teleport from mission door to mission door. Trying to portray it as such is dishonest, disingenuous and spreading misinformation.

Just wanted to let you know, I tried the new launcher again and this issue seems to have resolved itself.

Minor nitpick, even with the existing slash command, we still are traveling the majority of the time.

TT works for you solo.

That is actually not a bad idea at all. Again, they both do the same exact thing, so do we really need both?

Hate to sound like a broken record so I apologize, but do we really need 4 different base port powers? Would it not be easier to just make one?

Agree with this. If we need a pop-up menu for the various travel to type powers, we probably have too many. Discussing this among friends in game, someone asked a good question - how easy is all of this going to be for a new player?

Not everyone playing is a veteran of the game.

Love this idea! There is so much lore that gets missed if you do not get exploration and plaques.

Again, the slash command was never an instant teleport from one mission door to the next. Players are still traveling about in zones doing normal game business. Even with the slash command, you see other players around, especially places like AP.

Just wanted to add a big thank you for this! The asymmetrical options are awesome!

There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to get all the day job badges on all their alts. Play how you like and let others play how they like. That is and always has been one of the best things about this game.

You may want to take @GM Widower's advice on this one. I have followed this discussion across the various posts of the last year. This is not a change made for PvP. Not sure why this has to be repeated so many times.

Please please please make it work and scale nicely at UHD resolution.

Just want to say the new Enhancement Upgrade button is pure genius and a wonderful, wonderful QoL change that was sorely needed. Thank you!

You will want to check out the video guide @Dacy put together here. The main thread for all the video guides is here. They are a great place to start!

Except it is not. The stated problems with the slash command were; Dev only command not meant for player use Escape death cheat in PvP and MoTF runs Immersion breaking due to people disappearing into thin air Turning it into a summon portal power that is interruptible with a brief animation of summoning a base portal solves all those problems. Hiding it behind limited use charges, inf sinks and ridiculous recharges is overly punitive for a travel ability.

Pre-level 50 story content, which is not what the OP is looking for.

Only speaking for myself here, I am not asking for an exact match for the command. Having a power to summon a portal that is interruptible and has a brief cooldown is a perfectly fine alternative to me as it solves the problems as stated in the various posts about the command over the past year. What I am objecting to is the limited use charges, large influence sinks and ridiculous recharge times. There is no need for it to be locked behind these in my opinion. There seems to be a very pervasive misunderstanding about what the command does. It is not an instant transport to a mission door that eliminates using a travel power entirely. You still need to use your travel powers to get to a mission door once zoning in from your base. There is a large community of base builders out there who have invested a lot of time and effort and put great care into building bases not only for family and friends but for the community at large. These new base portal powers are making accessing them more expensive and more of a nuisance than before. I take this with a very large grain of salt. I will believe it when I see it. 8 charges per day is a joke.
