When i use my teleport ability i have a familiar ES casting animation with constellations being drawn in the sky and then zap i am transported to my target wayshrine, dungeon or harborage.
During play i've encountered many situations where NPC's are opening portals to my target destination.
Why are these animations different?
I prefer opening a portal then drawing stars, but that's me.
If i would suggest anything it would be to lose the stars and open portals for self transportation. An added few skills that are unlocked starting at level 5 allow for the portal skill to be trained, cooldown reduced then enhanced portals for more than one character to use. Some people may not place skill points emphasizing a different build while others can chose to portal away!
This is not a need, but one of my meagre wants.
