[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6310504, member: 18"] If you're going to look at a "real world" port, you have to start with the restrictions in the game. You can't teleport into an occupied square - what's the real-world version of that? You can't teleport all that close to someone or something. You're going to need a few feet of space around you, presumably because your entirely subconscious Eladrin "teleport-sense" stops you from teleporting into a wall and dying or into the butler and getting a tea tray stuck through your chest. You can teleport into mid-air, but you are then going to immediately fall in an uncontrolled way - on to MEN WEARING METAL AND CARRYING SHARP METAL SPIKES. If you somehow think that is a good idea because you have a bag of rocks (which will not have time to accelerate much, and which will have a totally unfocused impact, actually bouncing off to a large degree, so probably won't even cause serious injury unless you hit someone with no helmet on the head, or their neck is at the wrong angle, just incapacitation - you'd be better off with a single large rock, and even that wouldn't be great), then you are not the master of military tactics you think yourself to be! :D Especially as you will be now lying on the floor next to some pissed off dudes with swords/spears. So great, you've managed to make your teleport into an almost-certainly-suicidal death leap which will probably not even kill anyone but you... Is that a win? We've already been over how there is no formation, in most cases, too. [/QUOTE]
