Portal Lens = Respawn Button

Post by magistrasa » Sat Oct 27, 2018 3:54 pm

To prevent preloading lenses as an exploit but to still maintain their usefulness for things like suddenly needing to log out or escaping from sticky situations, my suggestion is that lenses send you to your soul bound respawn point automatically upon use, rather than giving you the standard portal menu and letting you go wherever you want. All respawn points (I think?) put you next to or near a portal hub anyways, so it's not like using a lens is gonna strand you somewhere with no way of getting out. It'll also lend some more weight to ESF Transmutation, whose command feels kinda redundant when anyone with a portal lens can essentially accomplish the same thing.

Unless this results in massive objections, I like it. Also good for a more speedy escape, and gives a lot of value to hidden respawn points, which would make for a nice world feature.

Approved.

Moved this topic back to suggestions as promised, so as to ensure it isn't actioned. Will continue following the related thread.
