Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see a system similar to runebooks / teleport books I’ve seen in some other games. Most notably, even if I can’t teleport there can we have map markers PLEASE?!

Anyway I’ld like to suggest having a questable, craftable or purchasable item allowing players to open a small 30 second gate or “rift in the mist” to some place they marked on their map.

I suggest the device need to be recharged by fulfilling a dungeon, paying some vendor or have limited monthly and hourly uses.

That’s the gist of it.

EDIT:
Ah right, and for all intents & purposes, I’m just referring to use on the PvE map.

intents and purposes*

You mean… this system?

@Esplen:

I’m asking essentially for a map travel version of this.

In my original proposal I’m suggesting an account-limit to how much it can be used. Recharge should cost the player a ratio of effort, currency and/or time.

An example: If I marked a certain coordinate in Cursed Shore where I travel often, the item will allow me to teleport there and back a set number of times each time-period with a given cooldown. Even if this is just a way of having a certain amount of free waypoint usage, instead of custom waypoints, that would also work.

However I very much want to be able to mark my map with or without a teleport feature.

@Player Character: Ah tyvm lol. learned something new

Good examples of this feature can be seen in Magicka(teleport book), Ultima Online(runebook), some Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior(teleport spell) and a number of other games.

So you mean… go to WvW sell, store, mystic forge, logout login. Badabing badaboom.

Sorry, I dont see how that is the same thing?

Main points:
1. Marking places on the map
2. Item with N charges able to travel to either mark or waypoint
3. Items is expensive to recharge in some way as to avoid disrupting balance

Due to the mechanism you pointed out, of tp to WvW for utility stuff, we could also have free tp to LA and starting cities in general, but that’s a different topic I think.

You can mark places on the map. You can make a “city break” to store, Mystic Forge, craft, retrieve from TP, etc, without leaving your actual zone.

I don’t see why they should add something already in the game.

Perhaps I should clarify that when I say mark, I mean permanently add a label to the map of my own for for my account.

For one, this is a scotch-tape method of taking a ‘city break’. There’s no reason to leave it that way.

For two, I didn’t mention a city break, I’m talking about something else.

Perhaps others will see the reason even if we disagree.
