From what I understand, this shouldn't have anything to do with type of home, but instead is a fix that was put in to address the problem of shenanigans occurring where one glitch follows another who teleports home, giving the follower an opportunity to wreak havoc upon the followed. Also maybe to prevent party guests from setting a tp point inside an unwitting host's house only to later return for havoc-wreaking.
I couldn't teleport into my Meadows or Bortola home in beta, even before they made the changes to people following you into your home via teleport. I haven't tried setting my point to anything but outside the front door since.
When I lived in a 30k home in beta (Salatu maybe?), I was able to teleport directly into it, like Ebil said... but for every other house I've been in (Meadows, Heights, Firebogs), it teleports you to right outside the door.
So, like Ebil said (again :)), maybe it just depends on the type of house?
Well, I live in a house in Alakol (the modern one, 50k) and can't teleport straight into my living room. But I did once follow someone who lives in Salatu who did teleport into his house. Same house type.
I can only used saved points at the mo. I'm almost done with Teleportation IV. And I live in an adorable cottage in Bortola. :-) I think it's quite reasonable if it has to do with the type of home (more expensive = better perks; I'm fine with that), or if you need a higher teleportation skill to achieve this. I was just confused since it wasn't too clear when I searched the forums whether it was possible or not by just setting the teleport point to inside your house.
Yea, I'm sad that maps aren't available inside my house. Sometimes I just want to look at the map without going outside. I was able to look at it from in my Salatu home in beta.
I have teleportation 4 and no map in my house (15K cottage) nor the ability to set a teleport point inside. A couple of the posters above can teleport into their Kajuu homes at T4, but a couple of (equally high-end) Alakol homeowners cannot. So it seems it's determined by the region more than the price of the home -- but why? Or could it be a bug?
I live in a 50K home in Salatu and have access to the map inside my home, something that my former 4K home in Groddle Forest did not (I didn't have teleport at the time so I don't know if I could or could not teleport inside the 4K home). I think that Knewnan is right, if you have access to the map inside your home you have access to teleport, if not then you don't. Now the question is what houses get access to the map indoors.
I can teleport into my house on Kobaya Shii in Andra, but could not into my condo on Tonki Toe in Kalavana (though I could into the building my condo was in).
I also have access to the map in both my Andra house and neighborhood, whereas I had to leave the building my condo was in in Kalavana in order to access the map.
In beta, I lived in a tree house in Groddle Forest on Pasha's Place and could only teleport outside my door. I also lived in a cottage in Groddle Meadow somewhere (don't remember), but I don't remember if I even tried to teleport inside. I think I set my TP point outside my door because that's what I was used to.
I'm thinking the access to the map and TP point inside a house is a bug, though, as it seems like not having them in a house is more common.
I was initially able to teleport into my house in groddle meadows when I first purchased but within a few days it began teleporting me to outside the front door.
I used to have a TP point inside my 30c Alakol home during beta. There was a fix that supposedly made this no longer possible (but didn't work in some cases). I now have a firebog house and tried to set it up indoors - instead it takes me straight outside my front door.
I think the change was made due to people following and therefore entering a house uninvited. I guess it is unlikely to be reinstated. Does it really make a huge difference which side of the front door we land on?
I have no access to the map inside my house and just assumed it was a universal change. Its interesting to hear the two 'bugs' seem to go together though. maybe I should keep moving to experiment?
Moving house constantly just to experiment with the map sounds pretty extreme, LOL!
It's really not a biggie; I was just asking because I read in a topic or two that some people can teleport directly into their house. But there's a very good reason why the vast majority of people can't, so it's a better arrangement really.
