"Portal cant support more links" message

When a portal has its 8 outgoing links and want to link, now the message is "no linkable portals", even when you had keys and other portals to receive links.

Better if the message say "Portal cant support more links" to know the portal reach the outgoing max links.

Then you know you need to use a SBUL, if mod slot available.

    A link could also not be possible because you are under a control field, there is another link in the way or because the portal you are trying to link from doesn't have enough energy or any combination of those.

    In my opinion it is part of the gameplay to be able to tell on your own what the problem is.

  • @NineBerry or if you don't have enough XM...

    Which you can't see from the linking screen.


    Having appropriate error messages wouldn't hurt.

  • And how are new players meant to acquire such knowledge without too high a hurdle ? If it's not obvious in the game UI for experienced players then it's going to be hell for new players.

    I'm sure anyone who feels "L2P Nub" can just ignore the more informative error messages.

  • With the latest version of prime 2.35.2 this was announced, until today I didn't have the chance to test it in a portal with 8 outgoing links.

    I'm glad this has been implemented.

    Thanks!

    Outbound portal link limit reached message appears. 😊

  • Anyone know if the other various failure modes (under a field, link in the way, not enough XM) are explicitly reported as well now ?
