Feature Suggestion for Spicing Up Back Tracking

[ClownCombat]

Hi all,

I want to present an idea to make the grinding a little bit more fun - or to lighten the load of back tracking when grinding.
Using the power of the epoch to teleport us (randomly) on the map.

Problem:
When completing an echo or farming a dungeon, i.e. soul fire, it can feel a little bit exhausting ending up in a dead end every so often.
I think giving the player another option, instead of just turning around might be nice.

Solution:
The solution can take many forms.
But the basic idea is to randomly teleport to another location in the dungeon or the echo.

This feature should be available after unlocking the empowered timelines. As we repaired / recharged the epoch here. (that’s how I understood the Story)

My suggestion:
The player can press another button, like Q for the health pot, to teleport.
This consumes one charge of the “excessive” energy stored in the epoch. (From maximum 2 charges)

Experience charges the last epoch to teleport again.
This brings exp a little more value in the lategame too.

Open questions:

How smart should the teleports be?
Completely random? Or a little bit smarter?
Like random but at least a certain distance away from where one has been.

How long should it take to reload one charge of excessive epoch energy? 3-4 echoes?

This seems like a fun mechanic.
Personally I would much rather have them fix the underlying issue to backtracking rather than put a band-aid on it.
Thus improving the design of the maps themselves.

I feel that this could also be a dungeon mechanic where you kill things to charge the teleporter and then use the teleporter to explore all around the map of the dungeon.
