Cubixes should cost power

Wouldn't mind any change to cubixes and prisms, there's already so many traveling abilities, anyone can get anywhere too easy, as long as the owners are fully reimbursed.

Maybe there should be a time limit on how often you can use it.  Every few minutes?

I can walk wherever I want to be in a few minutes, why would I pay $600 to do that?

So you can have a very easy escape route from Celestia? And an entrance NOT guarded by a ton of guards?

Seriously, two minutes would be fine. Starting from when you leave the fulcruxes, of course.

Then its basically just the same as a tesseract...

Err, cubix is instant.
Amaru2005-08-27 15:48:49
I think minute long time limits are excessive; a power cost would effect this anyway. Say if it were 5 power, he could zip in and out, but would have to wait a few minutes to regenerate some power before doing it again.

Easy to say when you haven't spent so much on a little object.

Tired of you guys talking about taking away things because you fighters are upset. I like my cubix the way it is. I don't want it nerfed because you combat people can control your fighting urges!!!! angry.gif mad.gif

Why don't you go idle in a book again?

Would it be more fair to just ask that no one be allowed to follow someone using a cubix? Only the person who has possession of the cubix ought to be able to travel with it. Leading a team of invaders quickly through the planes would seem to be more a problem than one or two people being nuissances on their own.
Ialie2005-08-27 17:15:04
You cannot be followed into an enemy location.
Narsrim2005-08-27 19:40:48
I would suggest that only the owner of a cubix can use it. Furthermore, it should not allow enoutrages (groups to follow).
Unknown2005-08-27 19:54:22
Entourages should be allowed through glare.gif (damn typos). I know, it's cheap, it sarks, but it IS a 600 dollar arti.

$600 for yourself. You pay for it for personal use.
Unknown2005-08-27 19:56:53
Eeeh. I know. But still, you're limiting it's usefulness. What if you and I wanted to go Astral Bashing, and didn't feel like jumping through water/celestia, or earth/nil, or if you're lame using astroglide.

Maybe make leaving the fulcrux have a small eq/bal penalty?

Hmm. What if using the cubix had a short delay the way teleport does, except only about 3-4 seconds?

No, I don't think that's really fair. They didn't spend 600 bucks on a more limited version of Tesseract.

I think using the cube and leaving the fulcrux should take a 2-3 second eq penalty, and be done with it. This allows those whom want to give chase the actual opportunity to do so, and will discourage people from doing as they are.
