Tier 3 Transport Network

A full 24 hours, a grind to finish out that 10,000 anima. The will to resist upgrading any other Sanctum upgrades…The promise of a portal to Oribos. Which I got but…

It’s ONE WAY? Why??? The wording needs to be much more explicit if this is going to stay the case. Org portals are all two way so I didn’t really have any reason to believe this was just a one way portal. Also, I felt having it be 1 way is a huge slap in the face for grinding it out. The Transport Network, at least for me, doesn’t get really used beyond getting to Necrotic Wake dungeon and whenever my calling is in Bastion.

I honestly felt like it was a good reward. No more flying to receive my daily quest. No more flying to turn it back in. No more flying to check my Adventure Table. I will not spend any more or less time in Elysian Hold if the 2-way portal exist. I’m still just going to parked in Oribos like most people. I already don’t have trade chat in Elysian Hold ANYWAYS. ( plz fix also )

Can we PLEASE get this to be a two-way portal? If not, please change the wording on the Tier 3 Transport Network to make it more apparent that this is not a two way portal. I would rather have grinded out the Command Table upgrades had I known this was a one way portal.

You mean the wormhole generator? Haven’t got around to getting to use it on any characters yet. Seems pretty nice considering Engineering doesn’t seem to have much else besides an AH and a lucky brez.

Its the best version of it ever. 15 mins cds, can be used to go to any SL zones, no chance to backfire from what i saw.

Some of my guildmates just take lvl 1 engi (its a toy) o n their alts just to use it too.

Yeah I can see that for leveling. But at least that has a clear and defined way of it being used. This upgrade was like ya a portal to oribos. I’m like dope man I’d love to just portal back and forth I hate how much time I spend flying to Elyian Hold in a day.

Okay this sounds bad but I’m honestly laughing

At this point I’m 100% not surprised that you can’t go in/out the same portal to/from your Covenant.

Classic Blizzard.

Thanks for posting this. Transport network was the next upgrade in my sights, but now I can safely ignore it.

This is probably what I’m going to hit next. Is the portal something permanent in your covenant or anther hearthstone with a cooldown? Hopefully a permanent gate of some type, and it would be nice if there was another in Orb where are group of ambassadors are located, unlikely though.

My other choices are conductor, table or Ember Court. Two of them are not happening until I have spent anima everywhere else in the game. Can you guess which ones they are?

UPDATE: Just remembered, there is one up for going transport network. It does allow you to get another transmog set over time. More RNG involved I’m sure though.

All this time, I assumed the ambassadors in Oribos were standing beside the portals that lead to each covenant.

I just told my venthyr friend about the portal being one-way, and he said he also feels cheated by upgrading the anima conductor because it’s so damn useless. :laughing: Man, what a joke.

Man, same. A lot of people are just telling me “roll eng” or “set hearth to Elysian Hold with hearth enchant” Like, no I want to be in Oribos where I have trade chat (which is bugged in Elysian Hold so far as I know only covenant with no trade) I have Auction House, I have a shorter flight path to all the other zones (without being eng). Just a plethora of things. The point is I grinded out all the anima and souls so I feel like I deserve a two-way portal not some set of cool downs just to get around better.

Dude seriously. This one simple trick. It changed my life.

Teleport anywhere in the Shadowlands. 15 minute cooldown. Win.

For sure, that’s a ton of effort and time for what amounts to…no gain. I have been upgrading the night fae conservatory which has also been a fruitless endeavor, but at least I had zero expectations and the end goal is cosmetics here.

Something practical, like a portal, should actually function in a useful way. Like come on.

Its a ridiculous argument to say that putting (thinks when shadowlands came out) WEEKS of resources into an upgrade (THAT IS A TELEPORTATION NETWORK) is not worth a two-way portal between the 2 most important hubs to any character.

Also, sitting around with 1 shadowlands engineering doesn’t help me make gold /shrug.

I think its a pretty fair reward to give a two-way portal for that grind. I also think its pretty unfair to argue that the wording “portal to oribos” is strong enough, considering the amount of portals that sit in Org that are all two ways. Its quite obvious I wasn’t alone in this thought process. I had to post this to be sure I wasn’t the crazy one here.

I think you’re totally right and I strongly agree!

Was just raising awareness of the wormhole thing, in case people aren’t aware. (I wasn’t myself - even as an engineer - until someone else pointed it out on the forums!)
