Contact teleport power

[Etched]

I would love to see a "Teleport to Contact" power. It would do nothing else other than teleport to a current contact. As everyone knows, some contacts are stingy when handing out their phone number and if your base or LRTP is already recharging and you are four zones away or in a hazard zone it would be a handy temp power to move the team a long.

This would make a lot of goldside content more accessible and less tedious.

I have no issue with this idea, but I think it would be easier if contacts just gave you their phone number after first meeting them like with Task Forces.   It's rather silly that contacts are stingy with their contact info when you're risking life and limb to do their missions.

This makes so much more sense to do. And was the direction Live was going before shut down.

I wouldn't have an issue with this. Either would be a big help in this game. 🫠

So many of the red side arcs require you to do 3-5 missions before they let you call, it's infuriating!

I fully support a teleport to contact power or a universal adhesion to the premise of "you get to call after the first mission".

While I support both this suggestion and the alternative mentioned regarding contacts giving out their phones when the player initially meets them, the ability to teleport to a contact already exists in game. A player can teleport to an unmet contact by using the Find Contact tab. A player can also teleport directly to the contact when on a Ouroboros story arc as well. 

 

Again, I support the idea - I'm just pointing out it can already be done in game (so it would stand to reason that the devs already support this and would just need to implement it in a fashion outlined in the suggestion).

It should be noted that this is a one time only teleport and only if you've never spoken to that contact. It's super convenient for that initial meeting but not very helpful for the contacts that are slow to offer the call option.

 

The Oro crystal option is wonderful, it's often faster to base tp or oro tp and then click the crystal to tp to contact rather than traveling across the zone to get back to the contact. This is one of the reasons I usually prefer doing arcs through the crystal.

I agree with both suggestions.
