After better visualizing it myself, I had considered it being like, say, the cable car in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxux30pXyfW6 ... xp78dSnwNr

Nice little cutscene with a scenic view of the land to boot. Would be cool to see some flying creatures while riding the drone too.

For example, a mushroom bird that will catch you.

Actually, I was kinda basing it more off a different Pokemon scene, but kinda under the same idea. I think it's in Black/White, I haven't played in a long time so I forget the exact details, but that long bridge where the game puts your camera angle like way in the sky and you have a big view of the water and you can see the upcoming city in the distance as you are walking closer, you probably know what Im talking about. But yeah, the cable car is similar to that too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about adding something like this in soon. It'd most likely be a payvault thing, since I think it's something that would sell well without being too pay-to-win. That being said, I'm still thinking about how I would want to make it. Such as, whether or not a player could teleport to any area they want by clicking on an area in the map, or only certain areas (such as towns), or whether the teleportation would be instant, or an animation would play, or whether the player should be limited to a certain number of teleports a day, etc. I'm curious on what players think.

As a side note, I went ahead and added 4 shortcuts into the map for next update, that will help create a one-way bridge between a few areas for slightly faster travelling.

Dont add teleportation! If it gets added people will move onto more p2w things. Only add more shortcuts into the game because it's the best way to deal with this.

A suggestion I had for HH was adding teleportation scrolls, which would be used to teleport to major places. In the case of Eliatopia, that would be Teplar, Alion, and the mushroom town. The scrolls costs 50,000, and are infinite use with a 5-10 minute cooldown. The problem with this is that they would be annoying as an inventory item, so it should probably be somewhere under the skill menu, or a new menu for teleporters.

Sometimes, actually, most of the time, I'm just amazed by how your brain works, or more accurately, how it consistently fails to work. In what world is area teleportation P2W? Or how on earth would it make Robby add P2W features in the future?

I think teleporting to major towns / cities would be the best option. That way you still are forced to run around a bit and can't just bypass the cool little misc features, like for example, the piano keys opening up the ice caves. Also, it would still be nice to have some shortcuts by doing it that way, which could be cool little "bonus" type areas that offer something else to do, like the existing shortcut offers PVP areas.

Thanks for feeling the need to make a condescending reply to what I said instead of actually providing any actual criticism to me. Really says a lot if you have to feel the need to insult me just because you don't like my idea. Now this is a very interesting thing for you to say to me considering that my past 2 suggestions, well believe it or not, you support. So are you just insulting me because for the past 1-2 months you were being nice to me and forgot you were supposed to hate me for literally no reason, or was this because a simple suggestion got you so mad that you couldn't hold back on being a hotdog. Seriously, speak of bipolar disorder.

Anyway since this was too difficult of a concept for you too understand how this could lead Robby into adding more P2W options, and how this is P2W to begin with. #1, you actually get an advantage over other players with this suggestion added, not only can you bypass time restrictions for shops but you can also completely skip pvp zones and based off your support of pvp, is a bit hypocritical don't you think? This is also ignoring the fact that this could completely break the storyline to the game and make it so you can skip things (Yes you can add ways to prevent this from happening but I'm looking at this at face value.)

You can also already argue that P2W is already a thing because of item storage for ATM's and the inventory. This is actually a very good point which confuses me as to way you simply didn't mention it but rather, again, chose to insult me for no reason. The ATM slots were unnecessary for the game to me and the amount of extra inventory slots you get should really have -1 row because of just the insane amount of loot you can get now but again, it's just my opinion and I wouldn't dare suggest doing that now.

But how does this lead to Robby adding more P2W things? Simple. If this is to get added as a simple teleporting system then people who have spent their entire lives begging for this to be added will finally move onto more things, like 65% resale or 3x guild coins (which some already have to be fair) which are objectively bad things. If enough people though suggest this Robby probably would at least consider adding these in with enough community support (even if YOU don't necessarily believe it should be)

I'm going to end this off by saying the way I look at Eliatopia and what I want is fundamentally different than what you want, you lashing out for no reason just proves you think only your opinion needs to be considered and will put down other people who don't agree. You can come back with an essay like I did disproving me but at least keep it civil.
