We all know how bad it sucks when you miss the port by literally less than second or two, and then have to wait 8-10 minutes for another one...especially if your group is waiting for you. I recommend that you cut down the port time from around 8 minutes to 4-5 minutes; or possibly have the porters stay on the port pad for an additional 10-20 seconds after first port and do a second port. Also, what are the chances you could just make ONE medallion for battlegrounds that ports you to the designated area...instead of having 3 individual ones.

bug reports are reports about bugs

We cannot cut it down. It's at the lowest possible point. The time you are waiting is the time one realm has to run back. If we would cut down that time to 4 minutes or even 2, we would have to give the others hastener speed of about 350% value.

Ahh, another thread about this ^_^
Something, that may not be missed here:
- We need direct channelers to the Main-City and Housing Zone, again, please.
- One necklace for all battlegrounds would be handy, yes [using the same port rules like the former channelers].

Regarding the time, I think it's okay. When you are in a group, just release together. And when you just missed a port and know that you have to wait for 8 minutes, go afk on the toilet, make coffee and open the door for the postman ^^, so you don't have to do that during fight
Also it's an advantage to have some reserve-necklaces in your inventory, so you dont have to hobble to the merchant and back every time, slowed by sickness. A handy thing would also be:
- Moving the necklace-merchants closer to the circle.

I cant understand how more necklaces for each bg are not handy.

On the contrary i think its personalized, and i want to wear a WILTON necklace when i go there, not a BG necklace.

Staff should do other bugfixes in their dev work time than do 1 necklace for the bgs

The "handyness" comes in the situation where you reached the RR cap of a BG.
Wearing a Braemar necklace with lvl 34 and 2l2, you will be left alone on the circle.
Wearing a BG necklace in the same situation, you would be ported to Wilton. [if using the same rules like the former channelers]

But I agree that its not really important, BG necklaces can stay as they are, I am fine with it.

all been said before.

no need for another topic except if the staffs opens one.

Idea: How about giving timers to people who were in a BG or an OF-Zone. People with timer have to wait 8 minutes, people w/o timer (who were in PVE-Zone or capitol or housing) can port instantly.

That way you don`t have people switching RvR-Area like crazy or just instantly port back after death.

If the other two realms, alb/mid want it balanced to port to emain, they would have to make it allwes 7min to port. Like you talk to a npc, and he will port you in 7min after talking to him. Since it takes a min of 7min or longer to get to the start of emain, with realm speed and sprinting. Without stopping to goof off or go afk , like the other can do while waiting for port.

Alot of you got it easy.

All this whining about port times. How about we go real classic for a week, and remove those fancy bindstones in the borderkeeps ? I guess even a few days of riding back to the porter pad after every wipe, from Huginfell, Ardee or Cottswold, should be enough to make everyone appreciate just how good we actually have it currently.
