Yes, for example, something that would take us to an event high in the canopy in HoT would be great. I seem to be vertically challenged in HoT, and I don't mean "short."

Yah, that’s a drawback. I can see why they did it as high level mobs will target a low level with extreme prejudice but part of the fun of leveling alts can be getting them to high level maps and seeing how long you can survive. They should let us decide if we want to take a low level to a high level map. I gotten a level 20ish to a level 80 map and ran around grabbing wps and a few hero points just for the amusement value and challenge of it.

Never mind my cost question. Watched this video and (thankfully) she had a before/after shot of her bag open (with current gold) and there was no charge when she ported.

timers should be a ingame feature not something from a third party. thats QoL addition.

> Basically I think It would be cool to create a world boss portal scroll that would take you to the nearest waypoint of a selected list of world bosses across tyria. Similar to how the season portal scrolls work. Make it a gemstore thing if you think thats a good idea. Or better yet a scavenger hunt type thing in game to collect the Locations by doing the Bosses. If anyone has anything to add to this post please share it. Hopefully some Devs will see and like this idea.

 

Well congrats. Now while they are listening to you ask for something else.

Interesting new method of travel, it could come in handy for my excess tome using storage mules that are quickly drying up thanks to the 2 new additional bank tabs that recently became available. I don't see a problem with the level requirements since the LS scrolls also hold level requirements that I've had to get used to when I want to take my level 20 gatherer to a place like sirens landing for Orr forerger. Anyway, rules and adjustments aside, another convenience item for those that have already done most things as well as those that have yet to do half the things.

How do you feel about this now that it's a real thing?
