Report #612
Skillset: Planar Skill: Transverse
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Rejected Jun 2011
Furies' Decision:
We do not agree that the risks of raiding in distort is overbearing. If you are
going to raid, you must face the risk. We decline to allow transversing through
distort at this time.
Problem: When Distort blocks transversing, players are no longer able to
transverse off of Cosmic or Elemental planes that they are enemied to. This
leads to being trapped upon these planes with no effort from the defenders
beyond standing at the Nexus pressing the Distort button. (Only other way out
is minutes of doing nothing to try to *bix which is problematic if a defender
eventually meanders over, or whistling a ship and running around until it
arrives)
Solution #1: Allow transversing through distortion again. Players will still
 be able to close rifts by walking to them and using the localized
 distort, but it should not be a fire-and-forget ability done in
 one location to block all rifts.

It was mentioned that cubixes work to get out: To reiterate the problem, that
does not work. Try surviving for 2 minutes in Wrath, without sipping, and with
a defender possibly showing up to hit you on top of that. It's not a good
situation.

I would like this suggestion more if while distort was active on a plane,
distorting gates was free power. If that wasn't possible, I'd support this
solution as is
