Town Portal abuse - it's time to end it.
I am not very pleased with the majority of D2LOD players, especially in the difficulties like NM and Hell, those lazy bastards only want to be spoonfed with wps and tps, and it has become quite a "habit" that people have adopted. :steam:
Of course the game's exploits and bugs are to be partly blamed but portal scrolls should not be treated like garbage, they provide hell lots of convenience to us players, but it has also made many of them very very VERY lazy.:thumbsdown:
It's about time to make us, the players, pay a price for having this form of convenience. :devil:
Final Verdict:
1) Get NPCs to sell portal scroll for a high amount of gold, since gold will be the main currency in the game. Beginners should not even think about obtaining them, they should play the game the HARD way.Yes, WALK, for god sake. Monsters/Bosses should NOT drop them. High levels will also be made to think twice before helping low levels at the expense of spending tons of gold on TPs unless they are immensely rich.
2) It would also be interesting to have a different variety of portal scrolls available, where factors like distance, level, climate and the type of map plays a role. A much simplier solution would be to have different time duration for different portals. (EG. A 100k TP lasts for 15 secs, 200k 30 secs and so on)
3) Portal scrolls should not work near to Boss maps, it's quite ridiculous that you can fight the Prime Evils halfway, then go back to town to heal, and resume the fight again... :scratchhead:
