beacons and beds make flyer item transport useless?(and not because of the nerf!)

[jacob99]

so a little bit ago on survivetheark forums i was bored and looking through one of those generic *flyer nerf is bad blaah blaah blaah* threads when this one guys said something along the lines of it isnt bad if you think outside the box and then he gave an amazing thing i( and from what i have seen, many people) have never thought of!

so you know how beds allow you to feast travel between them but with no items (thus no practical use, or so we thought), well what the guy said made me realize something, since the obi/pto(personal tek obelisk)/beacons now can hold items and have share storage like minecrafts ender chest. he said that you could lets say, have a bed next to a beacon or obelisk, put your stuff in the shared beacon/obi/pto storage, fast travel to the other bed that is where you want to be, and then pull your stuff back out of the beacon/obi/pto there and BOOM you just instantly crossed the whole map WITH your items, and with the personal tek obelisk (if you unlocked and have one) then its even better since you dont even have to be near a obelisk or a beacon. even better still, if you have the element, you could set up one tek obelisk and one bed by every artifact and be able to teleport straight to each one and get them all in a few minutes without even doing a cave. also for example, if you mine 30 stacks of metal at the blue obelisk, you could put all the metal and your gear in the obelisk and then teleport with a bed to your base and take the metal out from your nearest beacon at your base or even better, take it out of a tek obelisk that is inside your base next to a convenient industrial smelter that you could transfer it to

why fly for 10(now double with the nerf)minutes to transport thousands of metal when you could transport it instantly with obi/bea/pto and a bed?
ps: this isnt me complaing just telling others about it to help them since flyers got nerf and not as good at transporting tons of items like metal anymore.

blue drops dont give tek transmitters, only bosses, and if someone left them in there for some reason, doubt you could use them until you unlock the engram for them.

was sarcasm lol you know how hard is to get the tek transmitter? lol you only need to defeat the 2nd most hard dino in all the game lool

the transmitter just makes it even more convient if you have it(could of sworn i said inferred that)
beacons are available at any level past 5 and are EVERYWHERE, just go to one thats is very close to your base. i never said you NEEDED the transmitter for it to work, not once. also the medium dragon isnt the second hardest, pretty much every hardmode boss is harder, hard bm, hard, mega, and hard dragon.

edit it to make it not look like a flyer nerf thread at first glance.

So, what you're hypothesizing is so wild that the only place it would work is in SP... where you can effectively do whatever you want anyway, so who cares.

beacons share a inventory on any mode, and beds on any mode can fast travel. why do you think it would only work on sp? also just because you can use commands in single player dosent mean that people want to cheat like a lazy **** to get stuff. just because someone has the option to do something, dosent mean they will do it. onofficial, you have the option to permanently trap people with out worry of a justice for all admin coming and banning you because he dosent allow perma-prisoners on his server, wc moderators dont care.

[jacob99]

its shared inventory, it not like you have to transfer through servers. you just put your stuff in a transfer beacon/obelisk/tektrans and fast travel to the place on the map you want to go to that you put a bed down (bed should be placed close to a obelisk or more likely a beacon.) and take your stuff out of the beacon/obelisk/tektrans. boom! no server hopping required. can be done on official, private, sp, whatever.

[jacob99]

whats up with people not reading what i said? first guy completely ignored every time i said beacon and obelisk and the a tek transmitter isnt required, just makes it even more convient. and then there is the other guy that for some reason thinks that it only works on singleplayer( why would he even think that? beds fast travel on any mode, pvp,pve,sp -official or not, same with obilisk sharing item transfer inventories). why cant people just read what i said and not ignore half the stuff i said.

I read exactly what you said and I understand it. Physically it will work in any mode, yes. Logistically... not so much.

In PvP, Official or Unofficial, unless you secure the entire cave or drop location, someone is going to come along and blow up all your pretty little beds. And if you're blocking up access to that stuff completely, well, that's an entirely different issue. The only ones who can get away with that are Alphas and WC doesn't care what they do.

In PvE, isn't cave building off by default on Officials? On unofficials, well, if the admin(s) allow it, then so be it and again, who cares; their server, their rules.

it isnt just usefull for cave, for getting metal, it is very usefull, also make a small metal/tek base around your bed. heck blue obelisk is covered in metal. just because some pve servers can ahve building in caves (although isnt it allowed, just that they take 6x damage?) dosent mean it is useless, as metal transport, it is very very usefull on any pve

People already figure it out . no need to tell on the forum where dev can see the post....

Seriously, how are you not understanding how this concept applies across any of that sort of thing?

PvP... unless you're the alpha tribe, I don't care what you build with, if you block up access to an obelisk, beacon drop, resource spawn, cave... wtf ever desirable location... the Alpha will come along and blow up your stuff.

PvE, no amount fo damage buff does any good, because you can't attack other people's structures... unless you kite in a big old hostile dino. And don't think that wouldn't get done if you block up those desirable locations. Beyond that, you'll get reported on official. On unofficial, again, their server, their rules. This was exactly why WC had to reverse their nerf on pillaring in PvE, because one of the big uses was people pillaring resource and dino spawn areas (which don't blcok spawning) to prevent fools from building structures in that blocked spawning.
