I never knew what those GREEN porters in Sky do... do you?

[Darkhound]

Ok... I have been wondering this for MONTHS now, and for some reason or another I HAD ALWAYS forgottne to sak you guys. In sky, near the zone that lead to water camp (to the right) and to kirin (to the left) both next to the main Shrine entnrace, there are 2 green porters unlike the regular, porters we see. In sky we have the traditional "pink" porters, the blue porters which take us around sky, the red porters for the Ark angels, and the yellow porters that takes us to the gods and they all look very similar. BUT.... there are these 2 green porters than when you stand on them they make a very different animation than the rest of the porters. Does anyone have a clue what they are for.

I dont think they are just there as screenery, or just cuse they loook nice, they seem to be working.

Please develop,
Thanks,
DH

if it sounds like what I think it does. With the new big area they could be adding, there might be two more. Get a party to stand on each one of these, they go to a completely new area that no one knew about, it wasnt even on the server cause it's got its own. (ya, this is just a random thought and completely fake ;P)

[Darkhound]

But have you seen those portals? Do you know of whta i am talking about?

[silentsteel]

nope, sadly I'm still rnk 5 & on the promys =/

[Darkhound]

Bah heheh too bad... you dont need the promys for this but thanks anyway!

[silentsteel]

its not that I dont want to do them though, cause I really do! Its just getting the right people to do it. After being at least 0/7 on mea & 0/3 on holla, I'm setting up a 6 smn for it. ~_~

Edit: oh, & I thought you were talking about it being in Sea too, so that prolly confused me.

[Darkhound]

Does anyone know what these are for?

[Balfree]

Ive wondered the same, they shift shape when you move close

Oddly enough, my sam friend moved in and it didnt change shape.. but with me it did... ._.

I'd like to know wth it is ok thx

[eriiko]

I made a thread about this a long time ago. So far, they have no use at all. People thought SE might do with CoP, but no.

Maybe they'll do something with the new expansion.

[Darkhound]

Yah but it is strnage that they have been there for sooooooooooooooo long, and nobody has seem to know what they do. And yes... they change shap when you sand on this. I am very very curious about this.1

[eriiko]

They don't do anything at all besides look funny & make you think.

[Darkhound]

What if.... once ToA is realeased they are used to direct teleportatio to Sky?

[Balfree]

Well, they dont bother me, and when exping there i like to stand on em and cast my shits :P anyway, they may have a plan for them later on..

[Rurouni]

I'm sure they'll be involved in the ToA expansion...as to what they'll do, exactly...that's anybody's guess.

[Aeni]

You also said it only changed with you and not your SAM friend (When standing on it) Do you know of anything different between the both of you? Like getting all avatars or having completed certain rank missions or quests...?

[Spazz]

someone asked this question at the Fan Festival... they said, they dont have any use for them at this moment. They build the map and terrain with things they sometimes use, but often not. So they could use it later in otehr updates... but you never know.

north gust used to have caves that led to dead ends in the very beginning, now they are entrances to OLD town an NEW town. same could be said for jungar forest. those caves were nothing til CoP made them into carpts landing.

[Partyboy]

They wouldnt put them there for no reason....

Won't have anyting to do with ToUA because like the other expansions, you don't need one expansion to play another expansion. You don't need RoZ for CoP and new expansion will be the same. So since you don't need RoZ for ToUA then it's impossible for sky portals to have anything to do with ToUA D;

[Taskmage]

Doesn't Dynamis - Tavnazia require both RoZ and CoP? So there are some areas that require both expansions.Players who have not installed the Rise of the Zilart or Chains of Promathia expansion discs, or who have not registered the expansion content, will be unable to enter Dynamis - Tavnazia.

[Caspian]

Based on that wording though, it only requires one or the other. "Players who.....Roz or CoP...". Based on that it doesn't seem to care which one you have, so long as you have one. I wonder if some of the stuff encoded for Dynamis is in duplicate on both expansions.

[Taskmage]

Yeah, I know it reads like that, but I think it's just badly worded. It doesn't make any sense to require either one unless there are redundant dat files.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to mean if either of the discs have not been installed and registered, you will be unable to enter.

[TheMidg]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to mean if either of the discs have not been installed and registered, you will be unable to enter.
Yea I wasn't exactly sure about that so I just asked someone instead of checking the site, they said just like other expansions and you don't need the other expansions. Although this expansion is going to be a lot different than the rest, I still have a feeling that it will be like the others and you can play the expansion even if you just own the main game and what you just bought. But at the same time now that the game and 2 expansions are packaged together on a DVD for the PC, and all on the Xbox 360 discs, it's very possible that they will require both expansions since it won't seem like such a difficult thing to ask for. So it really could go either way and with SE's iffiness about the new expansion I don't know what to believe. In the end I guess it's all just speculation and we'll just have to wait and see :P

[Jei]

then all our mule accounts will need to get expansions if we are to send them to mule in the new area... I think that's a pretty smart way to sell more boxes ><

[Caspian]

Did they say if the new AH would be separate from Jeuno? That could cause some serious problems.

[Darkhound]

Well, back to the topic of the green sky teleports... SE said on the fanfestivan that sometimes developers like to place things that do nothing in case they change their mind later, and these are one of those.. oh well!

Do you mean a different account mule? If not then i'm confused at what you're talking about D;

[Fayttt]

I thought a couple years back they said they went to another island, but they took it out?

[Feba]

The Green Telepads are useless. At Fan Fest, SE said they sometimes add things in incase they want to use them at a later date, and they never decided to use these.

I suppose Doll Gizmo and Cactuar Needle are examples of this.

[Suichi]

Wait wait... Cactuar needles are useless?

[Feba]

Last I checked, yes.
