I know its a small change but if youre looking at innovating the game to be more enjoyable to players is there really a point to having a CD on them at all anymore in Retail? Just feels arbitrary. If there is a technical reason id be curious to know.
All methods of teleportation have a CD for everyone. Unless you are a mage. even they have a 1 min. CD IIRC.
It matches the fantasy of it. A hearthstone is that, is supposed to be your place, and not something you re-adjust very often, if there is no CD, then it becomes a thing to set your hearth every 5 mins to wherever you need/want to be.
Not saying these are super great reasons, but they are reasons.
Also… 2023 WoW has so many ways to teleport travel, and is so out of control, that I can never see a HS CD as a problem. You already get 3, and reduced to 10min, plus cloaks, plus wormholes, plus portals, plus toys… yeah… I don’t know that making it no CD would “innovate” the game in any way.
I mean dont you already have 2 of them ?
you’re not a paladin, i noted.
Im not, but i have 2… regular , and dalaran , which will take you to SW then DF
You can get a 3rd one for WoD and if your Garrison is up, there’s another portal to Org there as well.
I have WoD but i never use it
Get some guild capes, utilise your Dreamwalk and/or take up engineering.
I’m never short of a port to most places.
EDIT: A small tip for Dreamwalking Druids if they haven’t figured out it already…
It’s much quicker to go to Org/SW via Mount Hyjal > Org/SW than heading to the Dreamgrove > Dalaran > Org/SW.
If you’re in a guild, buy all 3 cloaks of teleportation to SW/ORG. They do not share CD.
Oh yea i forgot about the cape
Yeah I dont see an issue with this for retail all it does is speed up leveling and help new players who dont have the other methods or travel.
“Because it does” or “Just buy a cape” is not a good reason to not change something in the game just because players have stockholm syndrome for a game mechanic. There are no downsides to changing it.
