What do you mean by a Client Side TP Timer? Are you referring to the inability to take Town Portals when you Hostile?
Because I have not played this game for a long time, I can't seem to remember what happens when Hostile. I know the TPâs of everyone your not [friendly] with become inaccessible, but what of your own TP's or those of allies? Does your TP disappear? Can you enter yours or an allies TP all while hostile or maybe thereâs a [timer]?
It seems to me that if town portals cast by yourself or your allies prior to going hostile disappear or cannot be clicked on after initiating a hostility (at least until you un-hostile), then the TP restriction would be Server-Side, causing Realm Down from packet manipulation.
However, if yours or your allies portal town portal is restricted only by a timer, then based on the knowledge that the World Stone delay is client-side, it can be surmised the TP timer is also. I can see the problems associated from PKâers utilizing a TP timer bypass, however I have yet to see someone hostile then immediately show up threw their own or an allies portal. I really donât think itâs a concern, as least not so much as seeing a slew of Bone Spear flying towards you and then a TP suddenly popping up.
