Shattered Kingdoms

Gates should be able to be held open as long as the sorcerer or priest is holding concentration and willing to pay the mana upkeep for the gate to stay open (or it is dispelled for whatever reason). It's been ridiculous for years I've told other characters to gate to xxx and they successfully cast a gate and the regen tick happens causing the gate to vanish instantly.

Word.

I agree.
It's been said over and over again. Apparently it has to do with game mechanics and how exactly the spell works. I am pretty sure it can be coded, though I doubt Dulrik will do so any time soon.

Or make them count a certain amount of mini-ticks, (like combat ticks) instead of simply vanishing on the next refresh tick.

Making it a release-based spell would be kewl.

It should still have a timer on it, one that is, as someone said before, combat tick based, and it should last about two minutes. We don't want to see tribunals using gate as the new rift, now do we?

If it could be placed on the fast affects system while lasting roughly the same amount of time that'd be nice.

But seriously, how often does a gate open right on the regen tick? I think I've personally seen that happen a grand total of once.

What, really? I've probably seen it a few dozen times.

I see it routinely.

I guess I just don't suck at making gates.
