That's a stupid trigger to have in the first place. You check your target, teleport, they flow back to Mother or something similar, and you teleport again, into guards/statues/totems.

Oh, and can the Summon resist rate be lowered? As it is, it's absolutely worthless in combat, and I really don't feel like wasting 15 or so power to summon a lost novice.

I LOVE THIS CHANGE.

Finally, no more lameasses summoning people all day long.

Don't think teleport needed it so much though.

I agree. Summon is fine. Teleport to mutual allies free or one power? Teleport nexus free? That would seem ok to me.

Summon is worthless unless your target is undeffed and afk. That's fine? I agree, no spamming is a good change, but it was only marginally useful before the change, now it's crap.

If you have a problem of not enough power...talk to your city/commune leaders about it.

Not having power is curerntly a political problem not a game mechanics problem.

So basically, the fact that something costs power only means that you can do it 3 times instantly and then ahve to wait 20 seconds to do it 3 times again.

ok, here's my ideas

1) Make teleport cost 0 power. It should be free. You CAN'T abuse this. If somebody is teleporting to you and you are worried, then MOVE YOUR STUPID censor.gif

2) Make summon cost 5 power on normal use, but free for mutual allies. Rescuing novices and pacifists isn't a bad thing. It's already annoying enough to get jumped by a group of 5, call for help over CT and have one of the thugs drop a monolith. Allthough, this would have been a nice change back when Ethelon used to sit at his lil statue and summon whore.

3) Make tesseract cost 3 power if you are a Magnagoran tesseracting to or from the Water Elemental plane or Celestia and likewise for Celestians tesseracting to or from Earth Elemental or Nil. Same goes for Seren and Glom, make it cost power to tesseract to or from Ethereal Seren or Ethereal Glom, respectively, with faethorn being neutral.

4) Kill the censor.gif envoy who suggested the power cost for Teleport

5) Make envoy an ELECTED position, than there is a bit of consensus among the guildmembers. It would be like being a Senator in the US Congress. You are elected by the people because they support you and what you believe in and because you are the people's main voice to the Man.

6) Free whiskey for everybody!

7) If none of the above changes get implemented, make Flow cost 3 power, Spores cost 5 power to snort, Moonbeam 2 power, and paintings instant.

And for all of you people who like to walk, don't force your hobbies onto others. That is so not cool glare.gif .
