Put in a Board transit option in Pocket D (or Echo Plaza with it's tunnel?)

[lemming]

Mainly comes up with Valentine Tip missions.

Not that it's a huge deal for most chars to just pop up to Ouro, or elsewhere, but it would be convenient.

 

What this would also allow is Praetorians to make use of some missions and would allow them to complete some of the Valentine Tip missions.  (Plus a bunch of others via an Ouro crystal)

 

My preference would be some sort of portal in Pocket D that was it's sole purpose.

If you are talking about things like Praetorians delivering valentines to Citadel, that is the whole point. They aren't supposed to be able to. They are Praetorians. They don't get access to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles. For any missions.

 

As for anyone else? There is a base portal right there on the dance floor. And we have lots of bases open to the public specifically to help players get around. They can simply use the base teleporters.

Well, there's the second issue with Praetorians not able to dismiss invalid Valentines.   (Really, they should just have a limited selection from the pool)

 

A "Board Transit" option for them would allow them to deliver to Mother Mayhem for instance which should be valid for them.   They still aren't allowed in any of the Primal zones (or Ouro) which is fine.

Bases have nothing to do with this.     It has the side effect of allowing them to do certain Ouro missions which isn't the point, but I listed it.

I agree that valentines should be dismissable and that the Praetorians should have access to a limited pool to avoid having to dismiss to get valentines they can do.

That would require making additional maps and recoding the valentines to either only work with those maps or to be able to be completed via the current method or those maps. So I am still not in favor of this.

You asked for an option for the players to be able to do things like the valentines tips. For Primal characters, using the base is a convenient method of expediting task completion depending on where they are. If being able to accomplish the tips by access to the correct zones was not part of your intent, then I apologize for my misunderstanding.

Valentines was just something that caused me to think of this.

 

And yes, I know you can go to the base and then to another option for Board Transit missions.  (If you are Primal)

 

This would just expedite some missions from Pocket D since a good number of deliver valentines are only able to be done via Board Transit.  (Including a few that are relevant to Praetorians such as Mother Mayhem.)

 

Right now, you need to open an Ouro or head to one of the many Primal zones with the option.  (Trains or Ferries)

No it would not.    It's just a door mission to some other mission location such as Mother Mayhem Hospital, various warehouses, etc... 

 

This is only for those missions that Board Transit.   I mainly pointed out the Praetorian bit to show it would allow them to do some Primal missions which I don't think is the best thing, but wanted to be sure that that was in the original layout of the suggestion.
