Portals
« on: November 11, 2008, 10:43:15 AM »
I just have a question... i'm a bit confussed about the portals. Can you go in them all the time or only if there's no hog around you. Like in sidewinder the portals can get you to your nav quicker but do you still have to get a hog if there's one outside the base instead of just going in them?

Thanks

While there are plenty of opportunities to legitimately walk through teleporters the rule is: if there is a hog available you must use it.  A tele may get you to a particular nav quicker but they will not get you laps faster and this game is all about getting laps...not just the next nav point.  You may say that you can walk the teles for that nav and drive the rest right?  Not really, if everyone was allowed to drive part of the map and walk others then the hogs would always be left sitting outside the tele's and there would rarely, if ever, be a hog waiting for you when you get to the base.  Then you are stuck walking the whole map.  We just can't have that happening.  Everyone needs to race in a hog if they have one available.  If one is not available you can continue to race on foot only until a hog does become available.
