Teleport removal?

Were several teleport destinations removed? I tried to t hostel earlier and it failed, and the only global teleports I see now are Sinder Town Center and Do’nezo Bazaar.

You can get to the hostel from the new sinder teleport – it’s pretty much next to it.

The advantage of teleporting into the hostel was that it’s a dark room, so you arrived in town by stepping out of somewhere instead of ‘poof teleport arrival’.

I’m certain there were some other global destinations, too. I tended to just type them instead of use the list, so I’m not sure how many there were.

I think the park, hostel, and Cape Theia were the three global teleports that were available.

If there’s no longer a global teleport at the hostel it’d make sense if we were allowed to use register teleport in the hostel - we’re obviously already allowed to register it as our home so being able to register it as a teleport location doesn’t seem problematic at all.

there is always the gohome command. Will take you back to the hostel if that is your home. I do like the sentiment of darkroom teleport locations though.

Someone feel free to explain the sentiment to me because I don’t understand dark room teleport locations. If it’s about cluttering travel messages, those happen either way, it’s either “so and so appears in a flash of light” (a teleport) or “so and so comes out from the hostel” (a go command).

And if it’s about not wanting to be thrust into a loud and public area, that’s one of the reasons why we’ve moved the teleport from the park to the town center, and why the registerable nodes in places like Linseria and Patchwork are not in the main congregating area.

I’d love to hear the reasons for making dark “teleport booths” a la Tapestries’ Fox Plaza, but IMO it doesn’t make that much sense.

Roleplay, primarily. It let me get into the center of things without appearing to be nonEuclidean. Tport to the hostel then when you leave you’re just another person stepping out of the hostel.

Yes, I could just not teleport, but unless we can chain movement (can we?) navigating the menu or entering commands is kind of a pain if you’re a ways away.

It’d help if ‘head back toward town center’ was consistently the top exit on the list, but that’s hit or miss.

It doesn’t feel like a move to me; town center was already available to register as a personal teleport point, and I’d been using it when I wanted to go somewhere other than the park.

I agree, travel messages are travel messages, and for people whose intent was to travel to the park, the current scheme just multiplies those and adds an extra step to get there.

I get neither the dark room thing nor the need to rearrange teleport points.
