Has anyone posted already to ask why we can't port anymore from Giran to HV directly ?
I've just tried right now and HV is not in Clarissa's list.

yea I saw that last night and was a little irratated about that myself as well. I am not sure why it was removed but I don't think it was a good decision. Please put it back the way it was.

You also cannot port from Aden to IT. You can port between all TOWNS, but every subarea you have to be in the direct town nearest. I like the change.

You can port from Giran to Hardins academy and then HV.

I'd prefer they just remove GKs and suddenly striders are really cool o.o

Since HV is closer from Giran it hardly makes sense...

HV is closer to Oren...

And ?

When you come from Giran and IF you're supposed to get to the nearests... HV is nearest, not Oren.
SO they should have removed Oren and let HV.

You can port to any of the high lvl area castle towns and noob village from any town. That's a nice addition to the game. However, you have to go from Giran Castle Town > Oren Castle Town or a midpoint to try and reach Hunters Village. Hunters is unique, I agree, but it if that is the rule, they followed it. The only non castle town/newbie area ports from the GK are local hunting.

I don't think it's a nice addition. It's too easy for newcomers and makes the area progression less clear. When going 1-40 there used to be a clear path of increasing difficulties. It was sort of a guiding.

Also there's a gatekeeper in HV... not in local hunting areas...
And what. HV's gatekeeper is only a lvl 1?

I think you're mistaking a bug for a feature. (http://thenoobcomic.com/daily/strip090.html)

in fact:

You can port hardens, then HV.

Aden then HV.

Town soe to HV, which FoR CH sells the scrolls for.

I to hate the change to alot of the TP's.

some things is really cool like being able to TP right to dion from oren, godad, rune, aden...thats a really nice change.(costly but if you neeed to get there then so be it)

And btw how can you deem that a nice addition when a direct port from Gludio to Giran is 29k while the GLudio-Dion-Giran is about 13k ?

Just another money sink and a lame attempt to make it easier for newcomers that running could deter.

It's actually a malevolent attempt on behalf of the developers to CRASH MY PC.

LOL

You pay extra 15k for the comfort of only one blankscreen and lower possibility of crash.

MalineII Sep 8, 2006, 2:39 AM #16

I spend about 10 minutes in every blackscreen (rather more than less) when I'm two-boxing. Saving one blackscreen for 16k is profitable business. ><

I didnt' know that L2 ran on Pentium Is....

Seriously I don't have more than 3 scs on each port.
P4 3ghz - 1 Gb ram - 7.5k rpm HD - nvidia 5800 - 3 years old or so

What helped me best so far was doing one separate few Gig partition and put windoze swap there. I do it all the time since then, when I am setting up new computer for games. That way game engine does not have to look for cached data that are scattered allover C:\ partition.
(Thou I have raid0, but I have the same setup on single-disked barebone and it works fine)

What about the ports to Catacomb of the Branded?..
You can port to it from Dion..Innadril(Henie)..but not Giran.
It seems as this is a bit off since COB is in Giran territory.../soe = Giran
