An idea for Death Gate

[_Khasim_]

Just a thing that came into my mind now... Wouldn't it be nice if Death Gate would not just port you to Acherus, but also create a gate at the place you spawn in Acherus, which then could be used to come back to wherever we came from? Of course, it wouldn't be infinite, but I'd say one minute duration would be just fine.
Every class except DKs can just respec in a major city and immediately go to an auction house/bank/trade channel, but DKs can't. Also, what's the point in calling it a "gate" if it's basically a one-way portal?
It's not a huge issue for Horde DKs since there are both Silvermoon and Undercity ~3 minutes of flight from Acherus, but Alliance players have a lot bigger distance to travel to their nearest capital.
What do you guys think?

P.S. This is an IDEA. "Duuude, this stuff will never get implemented" posts are really unnecessary.

the idea isn't actually bad. maybe 2spells instead of1. the first spell is death gate itself. the 2nd one is a gate that takes you to your hearthstone location.
you might wanna post it on the official wow suggestion forums. one of the better idea's i have seen.

it would be over abused.

[Chokaa]

Make it only usable in archerus and I don't see why they shouldn't implement it.

If anyone wants to post it on the official forums, feel free to do it. My account is frozen, I can't post atm.

[Anuri]

like the idea, although i dont think it will be implemented, i really wish it will

While I really like the idea, I think we're better off just hoping for portals in Archeus to the capitals.

*Death Gate to Acherus*

*Hearth Gate to Orgrimmar* Yeah. Wouldn't be abused. Right. Would be nice to be like Shamans though, 2 Hearthstones.

Now this I have wanted to see for over 2 years now.

As embarrassing as it is, too many times i have found myself stuck in Acherus XD, and forced to fly to undercity.

BUt in cata I don't think it will matter as much since we can fly in the old zones.

[Mammoth]

A portal the the Ebon Blade at the Shadow Vault would be nice. It's only a short flight to Dala from there.

So you wanted to have portals in acherus before WotLK came out?

OH EM GEE YOUR SO CLEVER,

No Coolmann he's right. Yes, I have wanted to see Portals in Acherus since WotLK Beta, so technically yes, since Pre-WotLK

Horde druids have to go to Thunderbluff to train. I don't know if you know this... but that's a pain in the ass. You have to moonglade - hearth if you want to be in a city that there's an actual population.

(I say this because the horde druids, or tauren, are going to inevitably say me too).

[Scudamore]

Sounds like a very reasonable idea to me. Have it maybe last 2 minutes so that you can quickly enchant new weapons etc and get back to wherever you were. It is, after all, a gate - this implies a bidirectional passage.

You mean like a Hearthstone?

[flan1337]

How about a Death Gate in Acherus(One all rdy in there thats not summioned) that would take you to where you use your Death gate some what like what a BG/Instance does to you now....

And I rlly like your idea...

[Datachi]

it would be over abused.

To what end, exactly?

I have no idea what he could possibly mean by it being abused unless he thinks people will Gate to avoid pvp combat then port back out to try and catch people by surprise. Frankly it doesn't make much sense that Gate doesn't currently work like that. If they are going to require you to go to a specific stupid location to rune your weapon you should be able to go back right to the location you were at.

Personally I think they should implement this for all classes though by giving Inscription an epic recipe called Scroll of Town Portal. Upgrades your hearthstone into a Scroll of Town Portal which opens a portal between your current location and hearthstone location allowing you to travel back and forth once before the portal closes with like a 30 minute or more CD.
