That sounds like the idea Malicia proposed earlier... and Via already has an announcement. A very noisy one. Try it someday.

It is still a good idea I'd say.

I'd go with urban outdoors, or maybe just urban. Roads only is pretty limited.
Kiradawea2009-12-09 17:33:41
That's pretty limited too. It only adds village and cities. People rarely spend time in the villages, and cities aren't that big. Granted it would probably start to see some use, but it's still quite limited.

Via is NOT local area. Unless you change it to be.

QUOTE
Old Imperial Road approaching New Celest. (road).
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Filling the
firmament is a lattice of heavy grey clouds. The road is paved with stones and
mortar, and wraps around the Razine Mountains. Its surface is scuffed and
scarred by centuries of use of grinding traffic, yet its serviceable condition
bespeaks that its construction was assisted by mysterious powers. No grass or
weeds have been able to penetrate the road's surface, and any detritus is
quickly blown to the side by the low winds that sweep down from the mountain
range. The great city of New Celest is in sight, its colourful spires striking
boldly into the sky. Gulls drift in the sky overhead and the scent of the salty
sea blows in the breeze.
You see exits leading northeast and southwest.

With Aliod in your mind's eye, you chant the ritual of Via.
4684h, 4560m, 4620e, 10p, 18800en, 22305w xk-
You feel the road under your feet vibrate in sympathy with your chanting.

You have recovered equilibrium.

The road suddenly lurches and the landscape blurs by in a sudden rush.
Great Southern Highway approaching Magnagora. (road).
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. Occasional drops of rain fall
to the ground from a sky grey with pregnant clouds. Bathing its surroundings in
a soft spatter of blood, an elegant fountain offers up its crimson wares.
Prophet Aliod Feyranti, Patriarch of Wrathful Bells is here. He wields a golden
sunburst shield in his left hand and a charred symbol of wrath in his right.
You see exits leading north and southwest.


Being able to move to any other urban area from another, without power, would be pretty potent. Especially during revolts. Obviously there needs to be restriction for entry into and out of enemy territories. But, how is that still too limited?

Aren't hives and the prison also urban? What about the Observatory? Presidio? I'm sure you're unstating how widespread urban is.
Kiradawea2009-12-09 18:40:36
Making via a no-power teleport is a no go, hence I thought you meant for it to have a local factor so it'd be more similar to moonbeam. In which case urban areas are rarely ones you need to moonbeam between anyway.

Can BEAST LIST show which beasts are feeding out of their feedbags, please? While we're at it, can the amount of feed in the feedbag be shown, too? Please and thank you. smile.gif
Siam2010-01-06 20:12:28
Can we have an ability that shows us all scrolls, journals, books,etc. we have in our inventory, please? Please, please, please?

Make pyromancers not need tinderboxes. It's borderline ridiculous being told I have nothing capable of starting a fire.
Rodngar2010-01-06 21:01:26
I don't see why that can't be a passive in Elementalism, actually.
Unknown2010-01-06 21:05:40
Shops will go under if no one buys their tinderboxes. Think of the economy!

Ditto for >lv 50 Dracnari. They can just sneeze on it.
Druken2010-01-07 07:03:08
Maaaybe let Aeromancers windwalk on the mountains? We can create cyclones, summon winds and instantly summon blizzards, but we're bested by a little mountain air.

Ignite to be tweaked so that it can remove frozen ground?
Unknown2010-01-07 15:28:52
A lot of these things sound like they should be envoyed, tons of good ideas too.

This please.

Via is actually pretty useful during open-pk events on prime.

Let Dracnari use Firebreath on Icewalls please.

Also, Deafness reminder ambient. Something like "A loud ringing fills your ears as you contemplate the silence of your surroundings."

Deafness is shown in the prompt, actually.

Only if you don't normally keep up truehearing
