After you complete the pet battle dungeons for the first time, you can use those ports if needed. And engineers can port to every continent except BfA.
I find the loss of these portals will affect some holiday stuff, or at least make take more time. For example, you might add the "Striking Back" quest during the Midsummer Festival would make the Hellfire portal useful. I know it's just an inconvience, but it is a daily for 2-3 weeks.
Did you know? If a Mage opens their Ancient Portal: Dalaran outdoors, you can enter it on a flying mount and you will not be dismounted. No fall mitigation needed.
still think its a bad idea. Some of them i get ( hell fire and kara ). The rest i do not.But what i do not get is them not adding Cata portals in the new room.
Sad time for this game (not bashing this thread by any means) that an article needs to be created because people are helpless without a few portals.
Don't forget the Argent Crusader's Tabard for Northrend! I've had it forever and it's incredibly useful!
I'd gonna to miss portal hop, I always use them from TB or Silvermoon City for example to get to Org with just portal to Hellfire then Org. Lalalaa! Now I'd said well earned rest to those removed portals. Press F in the memory of removed portals!
Another way to get to SW fairly quickly from anywhere is if you have the Baradin Wardens tabard. Use that to get to Tol Barad then use the Stormwind portal to land on the island with portals.Another way to get you to there is to have access to friend/relative with an alt parked at the meeting stone permanently. I've parked a couple of unused alts on my daughter(s) accounts at CoT stone, Mogu. Palace stone, and Kara stone. Just log onto those accounts and summon away to a third person. Or alternately, have one toon parked there on your account => friend uses ring (in the case of Kara) and then you can summon a third, then switch and summon your main. Same with engineer to get to Gadgetzan. You only need one other toon at stone at CoT to summon third character etc.Another option is to make a trial character mage. There is no time limit for the trial account character to sit there on your account as long as you aren't past the 3 hour limit of play time.
They just need to add more items like the Captain's Signet of Command and then you can set your hearth to the Shrine and you're all set. I have the ring that lets me port to Old Dalaran already, and will be saving up for the Boralus ring as well. There are cloaks that you can use to teleport around as well, don't forget about those!
Why dont they just add a lower level to the portal rooms? It could have all the portals they removed and it would be all consolidated still.
A quick way to get to old content from anywhere:Outland: Fractured Necrolyte SkullNorthrend: Argent Crusader's TabardTol Barad: Hellscream's Reach Tabard Horde/Baradin's Wardens Tabard AllianceDraenor: Garrison Hearthstone or Admiral's CompassBroken Isles: Dalaran HearthstonePersonally I feel they should make a teleport collection based off the items you find that can teleport you.
I disagree with blizzard removing the portals they, they were convenient. I believe the true reason was to make you have to appreciate the work that the graphic designers put into the game. If you can just teleport around everywhere, which is what I prefer, you will not see most of that work.
Having to travel places is just an awful thing. It’s like commuting except that I am paying for the “pleasure” of doing it. I should be able to instantly travel to any dungeon meeting stone or any inn simply by accessing an interface and pressing a button. If you want to take the taxi or walk or fly then good for you. It’s not about being lazy or having little play time it’s the fact that traveling around the world for the nth time is just not fun anymore.
obviously there are still too many players in the game, lets make some more annoying changes and lets see if we can get down to 500k players (including alts ofc). obviously they dont want to just stop WOW, and are trying hard to make us leave.
Perculia DI Dwarves can use their Mole machine to Un'Goro to reach Caverns of Time as well =) Just thought you could add that in.
