Estar portal in GG?

[Purr]

How long has there been an Estar portal in gatekeeper's grove?

Since U69 when Myth Drannor was released and the grove got a remodelling.

Right there with you OP. I just noticed it today too. Very handy!

The Gatekeepers Grove is the transportation hub of DDO now.

@Cordovan , could we maybe get a d20 in the anniversary party rewards that will take us to the grove?

I really hate that they killed the plot of LOD chain. this was all about getting a massive portal in the harbor to some unknow world, where you can help the natives fight an evil goddess.
And now it's just - oh look here is another way to get into the world that the GateKeepers always knew about. sure, not very interesting.

They did something similar with the Codex Page storyline: It used to be something you worked your way up to as you reached higher levels.. now there's one in Borderlands in a L2 quest. In the interest of creating quests with both Heroic and Epic/Legendary versions, they've messed up a LOT of things.

See, the thing is THAT page in the level 2 quest is only the front fly page. With nothing printed upon it it’s got very little powah

They just inflated HPs for the Epic/Legendary. I had always advocated for "Return to [x]" quests. They did it for 3BC just by adding minor tweaks, changing mobs, etc. Keep the same map & advance the narrative.

I agree, Epic/Legendary screws up the whole story (which is sad). That is one of the reasons why I dislike those levels.

They gave us the option to travel there via Mists of Ravenloft before that. Although, I would have much rather preferred them just adding things to the teleport and greater teleport menus.

I really like that we have a real teleportation hub.

Maybe it could've been done with more care for lore, but it's really nice gameplay-wise.

Yes, I think it is a nice touch. It kind of reminds me of a step towards multiversal/planescape kind of material as far as lore goes. I think that's pretty awesome because it gives us a massive library of content to use.

So the portal in the harbor has been there for 12 years, you don't think that someone could figure out how to build a portal there in all that time?

O M G… has it really been 12 years since the launch of Menace of the Underdark?

Where has the time gone?

AND there is a portal to your guild airship in the Grove now as well!

If there is a fix portal to Estar, in my mind popped up a very self evident question.
Why TF is still the cooldown 20 mins of Key to Eveningstar? They could reduce it to 1 min as other fast travel items have.
There is no point to keep it any longer!
