Portals in Cataclysm

[Corgran]

Are they planning on implementing portals in Org and SW; if not do you intend to keep Dalaran as your hearthstone after reaching 85?

Sorry if this has already been posted, searching is still disabled

No idea and yes

[Keaton421]

There will be no new portals in Cataclysm.

[Maewen]

Please do not add any portals.

This is a MMORPG and let the player travel between maps.

Joining any event(arena, bg, dungeon, raid)while you are jumping on Orgrimmar Bank is not cool. That's not Modern Warfare Game, select server and start headshotz!

Yeah, but the saint casualz done have time for it(lol), so they need everything handed out. Deal with it since it's blizztivison 70% of customers atm.

Couldn't care either way because of flying mounts.

[Frioz]

Couldn't care either way because my main is a mage.

Thanks for the info

For the record, I am against adding new portals. I'm tired of people just porting around bypassing which could turn to some world PvP action; except on my mage, that shit is a necessity

Edit, after having thought about this a little more, I think blizz should remove most of the portals in Dalaran and Shattrath, leaving only Org and SW

But I'm against more portals because traveling is a part of the game.
Also, I got 4 HS is its NP
Hearthstone
Scroll of Recall
Astral Recall

So let me get this straight, you all want the portals turned off? But let me guess, you all take the portals dozens of times a day because it saves you time as well, but you all see it fit to complain about them? Thats the pot calling the kettle black to me.

[Scimitar]

How do you know there won't be any new portals?

As far as I know there is a portal from SW to the Exodar in the beta (can't check I'm not in beta), which however only exist for the duration of the beta. I wouldn't mind it staying though, the Exodar is to nice a place to be empty like this, same goes for Darnassus.

Naw, my main is a Druid, followed by a Shaman. I was trying to make a funny with the mage comment, guess I failed at it

Traveling is tedious, especially if all you want to do is instance content. Also, if you can't easily travel been hub cities, why have them? I'm not going to cities that add 15-30 minutes of travel time to content that I need to get to.

The problem with Darn, for example, was always that it wasn't near anything. The only time I ever went there was on my druid who needed to get to EK to keep leveling.

My theory is that if I can't log in and start playing through some fun content in under 15 minutes, there's a problem. Also, having to specifically travel 15-30 minutes across the world to log out in the "right" place is also a problem. Every city should have portals so that I can quickly move between them in order to get to the right place. Remember, you still need a couple of people at an instance to summon and I've found that people play a game of chicken when going to an instance ... basically, if you wait long enough, someone else will give in and go.

How about we make a portal for EVERYTHING. Guess that will be the best option for you and certainly the most ''fun'' one /sarcasm. It's WORLD of Warcraft not some browser game when u can go everywhere by one click.

[Powerogue]

i heard a portal or something will connect darnassus and stormwind, similar to the undercity/silvermoon orb.

[Metallikiddd]

Get rid of FP's and put in portals.

[ComputerNerd]

There should be some balance between convenience and catering to downright laziness.
The entire point of the game is the "world", but an increasing number of players who are spoilt by portals and summons kick up such a stink when they have to spend more than 2 minutes travelling.
Travelling to darnassus is tedious yes I will agree, but that does not mean there is a necessity for an easy transport to every single location.
Portals in every city are unecessary, but maybe 10 mins travelling between two is about the longest it should take, short of afk's where you might miss a boat or something.

[rkma]

There will be portals to the new zones from within Org/SW.

You've got a pretty exaggerated sense of the amount of time it takes to go places in the game. For example, it's five minutes TOPS from Orgrimmar to Undercity, thanks to zepplins. Thunderbluff is a little bit longer, but with flying mounts allowing you to no longer have to wait for a zepplin, is also five minutes tops, if that.

People cry about stuff taking 15-20 minutes when in reality it doesn't take anywhere near that long, especially not so when we can use flying mounts in old world.

Please, dont, just dont start a Hardcore vs Casual flamewar.
