We can have one portal per caster?... wasn't this a major argument a few months ago? and wasn't it resolved?... or are we still in the experimenting stage?.. ;p

Bungleau · 09-24-2004, 01:48 AM

I consistently get one portal per caster. I play patched, and I use the following method:

1. Caster casts create portal on themself.
2. Caster casts teleport on themself.

Using this method, I get up to six portals per map (depending on the number of characters in the party). If the caster casts create portal on another character, that may reduce the number of portals available.

I will check again with my current party tomorrow night. It's a little late for gaming right now, even for me [img]smile.gif[/img]

If true -- and I can guarantee that it's not true when unpatched -- this would be a MAJOR impetus to patch one's game...

jsalsb · 09-24-2004, 07:22 AM

Yes, now it's all coming together. This is the first time I've ever played unpatched. I thought I remembered getting 1 portal per caster. Now (unpatched), all teleports, regardless from whom, go to the last portal cast.

That is definitely the work of the patch. I cannot do that. This is an important discovery. I think you should add it to the patch post in the best tips, Bungleau.

Bungleau · 09-24-2004, 10:26 AM

I will try it tonight both patched and unpatched. I will post the results here, and if appropriate, I will update Best Tips.

jsalsb · 09-27-2004, 08:15 PM

Any results, Bungleau...? All I can say for sure is unpatched=1 single portal/screen.

Taski · 09-28-2004, 12:55 AM

It is, PATCHED game version, only --1-- portal possible.

U can create others, but u will always teleport to the last, so it is useless. It is not like in Wiz 8 with one portal / each caster.

What if the spell fizzle when you cast create portal? Will this mean you can't teleport back to your last teleport at all ( your last teleport is now destroyed ) or you can still teleport to your last teleport?

aleph_null1 · 09-28-2004, 01:28 AM

As far as I remember, Create Portal only fizzles when you're in an area that doesn't allow Teleportation (like Cet's Pyramid, for example). If so, the point is moot, because you can't have a portal in that area, and any portals you've made in other areas couldn't be affected anyway.
