[Suggestion] Asura Gate on Battle Islands

As stated in the title, add a gate somewhere in the Battle Islands so it is easier to go from the Guild Hall to the Eye of the North with 8 people.

As long as it is just adding the gate for people who have been there, and is done without bugs so only people who have been there can be mapped with it then sounds good. Would be to Boreal Station as opposed to Eye of the North (like all the other Asura Gates) though.

YES, PLEASE.

I hate having to go to a city, then zone again. Quite annoying.

/signed, also for the Realm of Torment Vortex. Very annoying.

Agreed, Vortex always makes me angry, having to wait for 2 load screens.

/signed. Great idea.

/signed for this as well.

It's not the wait at the load screens that is the problem for me. Instead it's the fact you can only bring a party size of four from any other continent to Elona.

So the OP's reasoning of wanting to map 8 people into EOTN can also be used to ask for a way to map an 8 man party into both Elona (kamadan has party size 4) and Tyria for non EOTN people (LA has party size 6)

A VERY good point. I never thought of this before, but it is a legit complaint. It doesn't make sense from an RPG perspective (how is there an Asura gate on the battle isles), but it would still be very convientant. This is one of those "I can't believe somebody hasn't thought of this already" ideas that seems so obvious when it is suggested and has no real negative downsides.

I don't got EoTN but I bet I would sign this anyway.
I'd also like one for the Realm of Torment as well.

is it just me or could you just map to LA then map to where you want to go?

cuz im pritty sure thats the same amount of mapping you'd have to do...

On the other hand, party leader could go to the town, then enter the guild hall and form party, then use leave guild hall and be there to start with. Still no real argument against, but that is an easy way around the issue.

Useful for when your in the guild hall and you wanna go back to GWEN.

Except mapping to LA = 6 man party.
We want a way to map a full 8 man party to EotN.
This is only really necessary for guilds who actually set up 8 player teams, which is pretty rare nowadays.
(or maybe I'm not looking in the right place - if anyone knows guilds like these, PLEASE pm me!)

was just checking

maybe add a quest at the great temple, and then get a gate in the isle of the nameless or something like that

EOTN is PvE only. Temple exists for PvP start point.

I still like the concept, but this should not be the implementation. Just allow people who have done one of the three existing quests have the portal appear on their map somewhere on battle isles, similar to the way the portal appears near LA, KC, or Kamadan regardless of which quest you did. Also eliminates any confusion from PvPers who see a guy and wonder why they can't get a quest from him but other people are.

Even a zone portal or two in the Guild Hall itself would be nice. One that is an Asuran Gate that takes you to the EOTN campaign, and a Vortex Portal for those who have Nightfall. If you do not own the campaign for the portal/gate you're trying then you can't run through them and get an error message on screen saying you don't meet the requirements.

Perhapes add an Asuran Gate you cant go through with an Asuran npc that you talk to and he will take you to any outpost in EN that you have been through, if a party member has not been there then he wont let you go through. As for the idea of a Vortex Portal in the hall, I don't see how you can add one and not be very annoying to those who have not been to the realm of torment yet, however a vortex portal on the map would not be a bad idea, maybe one on the tyria and cantha maps as well, thats been very annoying to me...

Yes, the temple, but NOT the Isle of the Nameless.

The ilse of the nameles is a 'training ground' regardless of if you are PvE or PvP.

You can test builds against AI behavior or test damage with PvE skills.

All this would be much easier if the Icons showed the map of the area they pretend to travel to instead of traveling to port cities.

Those are my main concerns. Other than that, I'd love it.
