permanent ouro portal for base

[Snarky]

this would be decorative, useful, and provide no significant advantage to anyone.  they are by far one of the nicest "doors" in CoH/V and fit nicely with most base themes.

Yes please! I'd buy that for a dollar!

How about an Ourobouros Beacon that would work with existing portals?

i want that pritty design though lol

If Ouroboros access were to be incorporated into available base design elements, then why not just treat it the same way other game available portals we have access to work? The Ouroboros portal itself can be an arcane portal option and an Ouroboros beacon added with both an arcane and tech option to be used with any given portal choice just like zone beacons. This would let players that want the portal design itself use it for their portals to access the various zones or other parts of their base for theme/appearance and also let players that don't want the portal itself but are interested in Ouroboros access to do so with their existing portal choice(s).

Why not both, those who want the literal portal and those who don't can both be happy.

Having the Ouro Portal as a possible Portal style in the base (and with Ouro as a another beacon.  I'd also like to see all tunnel destinations available)

Why not both? Ouro beacon and the ouro portal that we can have attached to any beacons like the other portals.

HC launched with SG Beacons to Echo: Zones; these were removed as one (of several) revamps to "fast travel". Ouroboros portals are trivial to get (for blue), not that hard to get (for red) ... and we don't talk about gold.

 

The Ouroboros portal power has a pretty short cooldown period, and SG bases can have their own Pillars, so aside from an asthetic there isn't much need for in-base Ouroborous portals.

 

FWIW: Every once in a while I still see trips to Ouroboros 'messing up' for Rogues/Vigilantes.

Level 1 of blue and red can enter Recluse Victory and get the portal.  And they can use the hatch in Pocket D if they don't want to enter via Atlas or Grandville.

Gold can get the portal, but they can't enter it.  (though I think the only was they can get it is to do an ouro mission via a base crystal, so level 14?)

I'd like this especially if you can put it on a wall. I am extremely fond of the ouroboros (EDIT: I mean the symbol design). Whether or not you can use it to get to Ouro itself is secondary to me, but frankly it doesn't seem like it'd be problematic. I suppose it'd be nice on barren servers where there's no one around to open one for you.

 

EDIT: Actually it would be nice to be able to use an Ouro portal as a cosmetic base teleporter option (to get to city zones). I'm not sure if it's been added yet, but a Cimm port would be nice too, though that is not very important since we can use the portal in Ouro itself to get there.

The entry point is trivial to reach for level 1 heroes. It's in city hall. It's a bit harder for a level 1 villain to get to the red portal without diversion to the hospital.

 

All this aside, I see no reason why we need to make Ouroboros travel even more convenient than it is. It's already gosh darned convenient. Maybe a beacon to Echo Plaza, but that's all I would ask for in this area.
