Teleport costs increasing.

Anyone know what the deal is?
Are they being rescaled, or is it a in-game reaction to something I'm doing?

I don't see the point of this- it penalizes lowbies, and has nothing to do with the real controller- cooldown- which, I should mention, already gets in the way of emergent game-play like, say... Rook attacks.

It's not horrible, I'm just wondering. Am I gonna have to stop giving people lifts soon?

  • What do you mean? It's been 10% of your energy tank. Did they change that in the last 24 hours?

  • The teleport costs increase as your energy increases... increase your teleport skills and the percentage of energy spent will decrease.

  • Ah- nope- I did not know that. That's... counter intuitive to me.
    Getting 'better' means certain things stay the same.

    Ok.

    Well, guess I now know. Thanks!

  • You're welcome! I wasn't sure if you just didn't know about the relation to the tank or if something had changed since I last teleported. :) And I also forgot about the teleportation skills knocking that percentage down some.

  • Well, I'm @ Teleport V, but I just increased my tank a few times over the last few days and didn't realize that was why teleport cost kept nudging up. I guess it doesn't matter much since the cooldown is the real limiter, but it is off-putting to think you're 'improving' your character, to see something else get 'worse'.
    Again, thanks!

  • If you teleport a lot, 1000-1500 is probably the sweet spot on the tank. And really, I do a lot of other things, and provided food is on hand, my tank size seems fine to me at 1100ish. Levitation alone will have me burn through most of that in a matter of minutes at times.

    Humbabella had an awesome breakdown of energy tank sweetspots based on playstyles, but I don't know where to find it.
