I think Rattati already said that the portal tech has to be hard coded into the map, it wouldn't work with a player deployables without excessive coding changes well beyond what they're capable of doing.

Ah well.

If it were possible, I want some kind of "warping grenade," similar to Ender pearls from Minecraft. Basically you'd just throw them and you'd teleport where they land.

Much more balanced, I think, since you'd need skill to throw them (and messing up could be fatal) as well as being near worthless in combat (it would take time for them to land, plus your enemy can see where you're throwing it).

I had an idea for a teleporter equipment module. Wait. Let me finish.


You have one module, similar to an up link. You have only one, and it is consumed on use.

How it works: You drop the link at a certain point. At any time you select the equipment and activate it the same way you detonate RE's. When you activate it you are teleported to your pad. The pad is then destroyed.

There is a range limit, which increases with meta. Probably 25M up to a maximum of 100M with a proto pad.

When you teleport there would be about a 5 second materialization period before you can move, while you are vulnerable (2.5 seconds on each side).

I feel this is balanced, and would be an interesting mechanic for scouts to be able to batman their way out of tight spots.
