You know when you usually rescue cain in Tristram, he opens himself a tp, goes in and the tp dissapears. If you make a tp on the same time, you can even see him enter town and see his tp close after him just about the spot where he usually stands. However now I've just experienced been able to use the tp made by Cain and it doesn't dissapear if I go in or out of it. It has also spawned the place where my tp's spawns. I didn't note what triggered it, as I was in the middle of a fight, but it's something I haven't experienced before, in many years of gaming, so I believe it's a bug. I've made screenshots of the 2 tp's in town, my tp made close to the tp cain casted as well, and tried to open the party screen, but it didn't work, so I don't know how to confirm for others that I'm alone in my single player game. I also don't know how to upload the screenshots though.

I've seen this twice before. In fact, it happened to me just now.

I'm not sure how to duplicate this, though.

@MakeLoveNotDupe

Thanks for the screenshot, as it seems like you're on b.net, and it has no name on it and no portal shrine is close, it's pretty evident.

@0blique

Interesting, for me it was the first time it happened in approx 9 years of on/off playing, I even often try to click on the portal and also often tp's back to town, this time I was in the middle of a fight and got confused as I didn't remember if I had casted a tp at cain in the first place, haha.

It could be nice if someone could give some insight to what mechanics triggers this, maybe if someone knew how to look at the game files or something like that.

The only time I've been able to keep cain's tp up was when I accidently talked to him before he managed to teleport himself back to town. I haven't had time since reading this to test it our more, but maybe one of you can try that out.

Cain opens portal
Talk to cain, he'll thank you briefly
portal might stay open

good luck! :D

I do that pretty much every time, so I don't think it's related or if it is then it has the opposite effect as I didn't do that the time it happened. I can't say for sure though.

It happens when you stand exactly where the portal spawns, when it spawns.

Thank you, haven't had time to test it yet, but I'll remember to check, I hope the tp always spawns on the same spot for some easy testings, or I'll have to get a party.

I had this happen yesterday while I was playing classic single player v1.12. I didn't notice it right away (as I tend to play multiplayer) but about the time I was reaching the Catacombs I stopped and thought "wait a minute . . . why are there two town portals here". One was mine the other was for Tristram (where there had been no town portal shrines). As I didn't notice it right away I couldn't guess as to what caused it but I know I wasn't doing anything that anyone has yet mentioned in this thread. Good luck figuring it out!

I decided to update this, after some tries (only in the range of 20-30 I believe) I've tried to place myself on top of the tp spawning, however it seems like cain always choose a different spot or I've a lousy memory as I've not been able to reproduce the effect yet.

It seems my memory was a little off.

I remembered it as being where the portal spawns. That's incorrect. :whistling:

You should position yourself right here (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5126756&postcount=2).

Thanks, but you should have linked to that place for a long time ago in my opinion, then I'd have saved all those precious minutes, you ruined my life! :crazyeyes:

Nah it's okay, it was pretty ruined already ;) Thanks for the help, I guess there's no need for further testing if I can make it work now.
