Some great emergent gameplay from wagstaff/winona teleporters

[loopuleasa]

I want to commend the devs for the teleporters. The precise engineering loop and problem solving involved with them leads to some very interesting! developments during mega basing and later game teleporter setups.

I am a big fan of it.

I am just a little sad that the umbrella does not also teleport nearby players (with increased fuel cost), but the construction of the teleporter network is such a fun challenge! It is addictive!

I never got to play with them, but they're really cool in the way they reward precision

A perk like that would completely overshadow a much more expensive and punishing way to teleport the group Wanda rift watch

I really don't mind not teleporting other players, we can just use a lazy deserter. And I agree with you, it is so much fun making a teleport network, it's so satisfying when you can go to different teleports just by walking a little to one side. It feels more rewarding than Wanda teleports imo, bc it almost feels like I'm playing a mini game to get everything on the right place lol

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

Spoiler

Seriously though, these things are underrated. With them, Wortox, Wanda and Winona can, essentially, teleport other players along with them, for barely any cost attached. Moving those is really cheap, and if you farm Desert stones in summer, you can even use them out of your inventory to teleport to the activated deserter(consumes the stone).

There is a downside of having to wait for summer to get those, which is where the main reason these often go unused comes from, I assume (not a lot of big groups make it to summer and still have it in them to continue, from my experience).

Lazy deserter is a solution yes, but it isn't as satisfying! It also requires a ton of orange gems in your teleport infrastructure.

Party teleports would be so cool to do.

Biggest downside is it doesn't work for solo players.

True.

Honestly, I don't think it needs to? It does what it's meant to do well enough, I think it'd be better if the telelocator focus&staff were improved to be a viable, not character-locked option (maybe something like 10 uses for the staff and only 1 gem spent per focus use? Still worse than character specific options, but usable. Then, either make it work in caves, or let us make an upgraded version with ruins or rift materials, that has better durability and works in caves.).
