Teleport price

HyekAr

What do you think if teleport instead of being for golds, be for crystals?

zelaminator

Personally, I'd prefer it stay as a gold price.. we have enough currencies I see it as paying a fee to the Mages Guild

HyekAr

Do u think? Hmm I am acumulating a lot of crystals, and using them only for res and charge.. mb there should be more use of it. And also I thought that becoming as a consumible it would be valueble for trading

GenjiraX

Do many people actually pay to use wayshrines? I don’t believe I’ve ever paid (not intentionally, anyway).

I'd much prefer to keep my soul gems.. they're very useful when you do a lot of trials

Yes, thats why it will get big value for trading, colecting

zelaminator

I'd still just prefer the current system..

It is OKay as it is, there are already too many currencies in the game.

I started doing so on a few occasions after I accumulated 50 million gold in my bank. But even now, I do it only rarely.

Pls do not go that way, selling 200 filled soul stones is good income as is.

I pay mostly while doing survey maps as I dont go back to wayshrines which are far away from where I had to go.
Like me I see many doing the same,and it already costs nothing with the passive maxed out (73 gold) and it is even a only small one,but still a gold sink which we need more.

Why would you pay for transfer when you have jump to friend / guild member / house for free?

Asardes

If you're in one relatively active guild, it becomes irrelevant anyway because you can port for free to a guild member. Even if one isn't in the zone you wanna go, you can jump to him and from there jump to where you wanna go for free. That's why I only filled the Wanderer CP passive to the first rank, to jump further in the three.

To save time.
As I am talking about my perspective from doing survey maps,in those times most of my friends arent online or sitting In cyrodiil.With guild members it happens the same or they are in locations I dont need to go,and to save double loading screen I just pay 73 gold.
Each their own but to me it saves a lot of time and well,73 gold is not really that much to pay anyway.

Personally I think it's okay to keep the gold fee on travel. It makes some sort of sense lore-wise, and provides at least some form of gold sink.

As for the issue of Soul Gems, perhaps a better solution would be to reduce the amount given by random tasks. It might not be a bad thing to go back to when people had to either buy them from other players or charge them themselves.

Given by random tasks.? Like what.? I loot mine and recharge them via the soul skill line

I don't know, I have never used it on Live servers even with minimum price, as at the worst case I can jump to the outside of Cyrodiil Jungle House in Malabal Tor. That way I waste up to 30 seconds, maybe, on second loading screen, but that is nothing compared to an hour running back and forth collecting the survey in just one zone.

That’s where most of mine come from. It’s nice that filling them automatically launders them.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

HyekAr

Well I also think that most of the ppl who writes in this forum dont use usual teleport, but even so, there is a lot of gamers who does

The idea of souls is making them more demanded

NupidStoob

We lack goldsinks and albeit this being a small one I wouldn't want to see it removed. Personally I travel like that 95% of the time already even before ZoS added CP that half the cost of it.

It's a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of gold you get by just playing the game and a lot more people would use it if they were efficiency focused.

I value my crystals much more than the minimal gold I pay for the convenience of getting to where I want to go quickly.

I save my crystals for resurrection and for charging my weapons. Gold is very easy to earn.

No. My 1st teleport costs 70 gold currently, if not mistaken.

Sylvermynx

Not interested in giving you or anyone else another way to scalp other players. It's fine for gold.

I don't have either of the first two, and #3 depends on where the house is vs my currant goal, and if I feel like going through two load screens.

So, yeah - sometimes I'll jump to a wayshrine. Especially during dailies and/or multi-alt events.
(like with the Wrothgar thing right now - grab a delve daily, go do the delve, pay to port back out from where I killed the boss instead of fighting all the way back out. ~130g vs time? Easy choice.)

Just takes longer and always has the risk of others being at the wrong wayshrine just to save insignificant amounts of gold. A few houses are nice though now that we can port outside of them.

whitecrow

I've never paid to port, except once or twice by accident. Even so, it's pocket change.

I always teleport to my sugar bowl and then go to wayshrine


$131 is too expensive! Also I put craft stations and merchant/bank at home for fast inventory clearing.

Because that wont always take you where you are looking to go

It will take me to any wayshrine, from where in 30 seconds I will get to any other place (or in 5 seconds, if this is the same zone).

GenjiraX

It just comes down to whether play time or gold is more precious to you, whether you want to save ten pence by using the few seconds the extra jump takes.
