Partly inspired by @Baconfry 's thread but didn't want to derail with off-topic suggestion. If it's not too much trouble... I wanted to suggest changing Helios Tower's Elevator into being similar to Mu Lung Crane Ride where it's always available but disabled when someone is using it in that channel. The current design, it's hard to gauge when its available and you end up forgetting and missing the elevator ride because you alt-tabbed. I think by changing it to be like the Crane Ride, you'll be able to get to Ludi or to KFT easier than before and not waiting on when it'll be available. Pros: - Less waiting time - Less frustration on waiting for elevator ride - more satisfaction moving between Ludi to El nath or vice versa Cons: - requires dev work - no longer be able to fit whole party or multiple chars in one elevator - removes nostalgia of sitting there for possibly 5~10minutes
While I can see where you're coming from, I think it's supposed to just be a tradeoff: if you don't want to pay for a teleport rock, then you have to accept some mild inconvenience. Perhaps a compromise would be to make the timings predictable, though?
I would just make the elevator door clickable, if you have fast travel you click or NPC chat to instantly get warped to bottom floor. If you don't have fast travel , pay like 5k and wait for the elevator to go down.
I suggest the idea in the past, hope one of them can be real https://royals.ms/forum/threads/make-fast-ticket-can-be-used-on-these-places.203416/
We’ve recently discussed this within staff and don‘t think it’s a big enough problem to warrant a change. The wait time and the ride aren’t really that long and those who hate waiting can always use the Ludi-Orbis-Herb Town-Aqua-KFT route with fast travel ticket. Nevertheless thanks for your feedback!
