Recall to group option.

With monsters being made tougher, and thus some regions becoming more difficult to get to, I think it would be nice to have some sort of recall to group spell or item. Eg a group works its way to an area deep in the Prime Roots, sets up a nice spot, but then has a bad pull and one person dies and recalls before he can be saved... especially if that person was your main healer (maybe your only healer). How does he get back ?

Sure teleports get past a lot of stuff but there are some areas that require the group to get you thru. In this case it means the group has to fight its way back to the dead character... but if he was their healer then that might not be possible, it might mean the whole group are "deadmen walking".

Its just a thought, maybe the devs wanted it this way. Maybe there is a spell further up the tree? A recall to group would be nice however.

So how do you stop a group forming with a very high level tank; that tank then gets himself to a very nice forage spot, then the low HP, non-fighter Foragers die in whatever way and recall to where the Fighter got himself to?

After spending 12 hours and a 470k DP trying to sneak to the teleport in Prime Roots unsuccessfully, I'd be well peeved if a Forager with half my Fight levels was able to just 'appear' there because be made a deal with a high level Tank.

There's positives and negatives to these kind of things.

How about a mark and recall system where you have to remember to place your 'mark' when entering a big fight and can thus recall to that mark? Thus adds an element of tactics to it. How many people do you know who forget to buy a new ticket whenever they teleport ;) hehe.


I dunno, but it sucks when an entire hunting expodition to another land is halted for 30mins because a few people were KO by the stink bug and have to run all the way back to the group...

The spell could have the need to be imbued on a special crystal, and that
crystal costs 130K or so. That way it doesn't get abused too much and a
price that is 10 times the karavan ticket price seem fair considering the
flexibility.
