No druid ring in Desert of Flames?

Ianaar · 01-25-2007, 03:15 AM

I hope I am wrong, but I just started getting my ports (yes I was out of game for a bit) and noticed that the port trainer didnt say any thing about druid rings in the Desert of Flames. Is this right?

They are thinking about adding one in DoF.

Oddly, there aren't Druid Rings or Mage Spires in some of the farthest zones. Both Commonlands and Antonica, which do have Druid Rings, are bordered by cities (Freeport and Qeynos respectively). I'd expect to see Druid Rings in places like Felwithe, Kaladim or the Loping Plains but those zones do not have them. I'm happy that lower tier PvP can be facilitated with the Druid Rings in the lower zones though, so at least that's a good thing. SMILEY

There are actually quite a few druid rings. Nek Forest, Zek, Enchanted Lands, Loping Plains and perhaps more that I can't think of at the moment.

Although these rings aren't active the devs have said that there is the possibility they will be in future. They wont commit to a firm answer though SMILEY

I love the speed with which my fury can get to places, the portals obviously. There is also the shard from the Splitpaw adventure pack, which makes getting to Thundering Steppes from Kelethin very quick. Call of Ro to get to Maj'Dul is very useful for getting to DoF quickly.

Portals can also be used in combination with access quests. One of my favourites was using the Antonican portal and then heading slightly north, killing the shadow creatures near the coast which opens a portal to the Obelisk of Lost Souls. If you have the door access quest done you can enter the main building and use the portal to get to the Feerrott and Temple of Cazic-Thule very quickly.

The only thing I would like is the ability to choose which city the carpet in Sinking Sands takes us to. If you're a citizen of Kelethin you will always get sent back to Butcherblock Mountains even if you've come from Qeynos.

Anyway, love the portals, give us more SMILEY

yes they are almost everywhere.. they are just broken( i guess)...

I hope we can fix them sometime. the one in loopingplains just bugs me.. .I dont know how many times i tried to go by and try to find something to harvest.

I think the best one we could get would be somewhere in KoS, just so we dont have to wait on the stupid spires anymore.Then we could certainly charge ppl for portals SMILEY

I just wanted to point out that it is actually possible to port your alts (although kind of a pain). When you cast a portal, it stays in place for 1 minute even if you log out. So, if you have both your toons in the same place, you can cast the portal with your Fury, use /camp (Name of alt) to switch toons and click on the portal with your alt once he logs in. I guess you could run into a problem if you load really slow or something, but it works for me. Cheers!
