Could not agree more. Minimal and/or NO FX options should be available for everything. We cannot see ourselves on screen in group content due to all the visual spam.

8 charges per day is simply not enough for a days playtime for me personally. That is a mere pittance really. I still cannot understand why the base portal powers need to be hidden behind large inf sinks, ridiculous recharge or limited use charges. This fix for this creates new headaches while trying to solve the original problem.

You were never instantly teleporting around the game world with the macro. You could get to your base and from there use a teleporter to go to the required map, then use your travel power from there. Equating that to an instant "I win" button that clears an entire map with no effort seems a bit of a stretch. Adding a single, simple base portal summon power that is interruptible solves the problems of it being used as an escape from death and provides a level of immersion in that it has some kind of animation. Again, some level of travel is still required. I still do not see the reason to lock it behind a high inf, high recharge or limited use charges.

I would be interested to hear the reasoning behind this as well. I would agree Storm Kick with its spinning animation makes more sense as a cone to me.

Thematically this does not make much sense to me. Ugh. Why do this? One of the benefits of being locked into a lengthier animation was the target cap. I am guessing my DM/Shield Brute is going to get shelved after this.

Have to agree the lower levels TW still feels very underwhelming and the damage nerfs are much more noticable. Overall, it is less clunky to play and smoother with regard to animations. As @Heraclea says, I am not into soloing pylons either, so that was never a problem for me. Only other thing I notice is Arc of Destruction seems underwhelming damage to me. A "superior" damage attack that takes 2 or 3 hits to take down and even con Lt. seems off to me.

Does this mean this event is now fixed so it spawns properly?

I have to agree. The P2W option is no option at all if you ask me given the price and ridiculous recharge time. I just cannot wrap my head around why we need so many different base portal powers now. As suggested above, just make one. As I recall, the issue with the slash command was that it can be used as an escape from death and was immersion breaking. Having a single base transport animation that is interruptible solves both those issues. I personally see no reason for it to be locked behind limited use charges and absurdly long cool downs. People are still going to need to use some level of travel to go to a mission door after using the base portal. This is not an instant teleport to a mission door like team teleport.

People are still going to be up and disappearing into base portals.

You can still use it so long as you are within range of a base portal. You will either need the new P2W (which is a complete waste IMO) or the Day Job one and any macros you have will still work.

Reading this I think I can still see people spamming requests for Oro portals in the starting zones lol 😁

Why should they have to explain themselves? This is how they play. Let them play how they like.

Given the currently obscene recharge time on the P2W base teleport portal, this is not an acceptable option in my opinion.

This please. Thank you.

As noted above, Number Six already answered this question.

Well, I do not think I would go quite that far, but from what I can see it is a workable solution.

@Number Sixalready answered this, but thank you!

Does the Rapid Response Portal need to be recharged or do you unlock it permanently once you have unlocked the day job badge? EDIT: Ok so I see Rapid Response Portal comes with limited charges. Not sure why it is necessary to limit the charges? A little insight into the reasoning for this would be appreciated, thanks. The recharge time on Super Group Portal is obscenely long. I am not sure why this needs to be as long as Team Teleport as it is different in that it will not drop you directly at the mission door. To be honest, this power is a total waste of inf. You are much better off using Rapid Response. Rapid Response seems like a decent compromise as the macros we have now will work with them. I like that we can customize the colors. Down the road, it would be super if we could customize the animation as well to pick something like the one used for Team Teleport or even pull from a costume change emote.

Thank you. Will these work next to the summonable portals as well? Or just the existing in-zone ones?

Yes we know. However, we were given several possible ideas and the community shared quite a lot of feedback as well. From the sound of it, we did not get what was discussed entirely.

Yes, I am aware. However, if there is no simple way to store multiple base pass codes easily instead of needing to cut-paste codes into the portal again, this is a non-starter.

Ugh. Totally not what I had hoped for.

So I take it the base macros will all be broken now? And we will have to be next to a portal for them to work?

As a builder myself, I would like to be able to export bases as a means to create templates I could sell on the auction house.

I do not think anyone suggested that it never takes place anywhere in the daylight. I am sure we can all find a lot of photos of trick or treating in the dark as well. Some people are more accustomed to this being a night time thing. Hopefully it is still ok for people to express their opinions here and share their ideas without others jumping all over them.
