Shattrath and Dalaran portals
"Beta Build 13066 - Portals removed from Shattrath and Dalaran
Blizzard doesn't want you to use Shattrath and Dalaran as portal hubs anymore, the latest beta update removed all the portal to the cities and replaced them with class trainers. "
My response to this.... they better add them into the other major cities......

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
Having class trainers though is a nice step, I haded having to travel to another city just to train or re-spec.

I think this is a way of guaranteeing that the old world is where everyone will be come Cataclysm. The only thing I'd like to know is whether the CoT port will remain.

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
I'd be surprised if that one got removed, given that it requires faction rep to use in the first place. Also, without the portal to Shattrath from Dalaran, it won't be all that useful anyway. The closest teleport "exit" in Outland would be the Black Temple via the neck piece, which is still a long haul from Shattrath.Kalliope wrote:The only thing I'd like to know is whether the CoT port will remain.
My speculation aside, confirmation would be welcome!

I'd actually meant the CoT port in Dalaran, but the Shat one would be good to know about too.Anyia wrote:I'd be surprised if that one got removed, given that it requires faction rep to use in the first place.

Oh oops. I never remember that one, I keep hopping through to Shattrath and talking to Zephyr whenever I need to get down to Tanaris.Kalliope wrote:I'd actually meant the CoT port in Dalaran, but the Shat one would be good to know about too.

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
There are tons of night elves but only 1 or 2 in Darnassus at a time. This would fix that.
just an idea ~ Perhaps a new Racial that allows a 2nd hearth to be permanatley set to the Home Capital City

Think about it: Death Knights already have this with their "Death Gate" (sort of) since that's the only way to get DK training.
Druids have a similar deal with Teleport: Moonglade where they can train, and get a free taxi to their home cities.

Can you tell I'm looking forward to not having to rely on flight paths in the old world?

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
The removal of the portals makes sense. You couldn't really teleport around Outland or Northrend, and the portals were probably made with the understanding that you would need to "leave the action", so to speak, in order to perform more mundane tasks like auctioning and training. It would be terribly irritating to go down to the Blasted Lands and THEN to wherever it was that you were before every single time. Now that the action's back in Azeroth, however, these portals serve as more of a "cheat", so to speak.
I don't mind the idea of them being removed TOO much... until I think of the prospective characters I'll have to level from 60-80 WITHOUT them. =/

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
I guess even if I only use the Dalaran port for myself, it's handy to have, just on principle, regardless of whether it's practical or not. After all, it's decent for pet hunting.

Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
Mages just made out.
Engineers will be making those wormhole devices. (something to do on Slick tonight). Hopefully with the specialization removals, engineers will be able to craft both.
Dalaran and Shatt are gonna be empty..
Those who paid money recently for the Kirin-tor rings just got hosed. (And, ESPECIALLY those who paid a lot for Jaina's Locket).

And seeing people spread out will be a breath of fresh air, in my opinion. :3
Hopefully they wont all stay in goldshire though....
@wild: They arent making a new hub because all the stuff in Cata is in the old world. Vanilla WoW never had hubs where portals were. If you read some other notes previously, they are making the new epic flying be 310% flying, which will be 5k gold.
Re: Shattrath and Dalaran portals
I dont think those that paid for those Dal rings got 'hosed' ~ the type of people who bought those probably had a lot of extra gold anyways, Free ports to random places always have their benefits. In Dal there is still going to be the Ka'luak fishing derby that the port could be useful for, or a quick way to get to Northrend (if you're not a engineer) if you want to go look for more rares or the TLPD or something.
I'm hoping for being able to make those other 2 engineer transporters too, it would be nice to have Gadgetzan, Everlook, Toshley's Station, and K2 all ready to rock it if needed.
