[REQUEST] The Infernal Machine - Close portals after defeating Ubers

Once you kill Leoric and Maghda in Realm of Discord - the realm will close in 29 seconds.

Same with:

Realm of Chaos (after killing Rakanoth and Ghoom, close in 29 secs)
Realm of Turmoil (after killing Siegebreaker & Zoltan Kulle, close in 29 secs)
Realm of Fright (after killing Diablo + random Uber, close in 29 secs)

Realm Act Keywarden
After completing Realm of Discord 1 Odeg the Keywarden respawns
After completing Realm of Chaos 2 Sokahr the Keywarden respawns
After completing Realm of Turmoil 3 Xah’Rith the Keywarden respawns
After completing Realm of Fright 4 Nekarat the Keywarden respawns

If Greed’s Domain can close in 59 seconds allowing you to do as many vault runs as you wish without leaving the game, then why can’t we have the same with Ubers?

Should be 30 secs but wholeheartedly agree…

4 ubers…leave game…start game…4 ubers…leave game…start game…BLECH

And while at it, how bout reopening the portal to take you back to the room instead of having to TP and run back so you can go through another portal??

I think 30 seconds might be too little, not everyone one has ssd drives and you still have to pick up loot, maybe 45 seconds and yeah I agree porting to the room instead of town would be great.

TP to room :+1::+1::+1:

Auto close individual portals…hmmmmm
How about “close all portals 60s after last one completes” instead?

LOL - SSD or not, it all drops in one spot (unlike progress globes) so should take no more than 5 seconds to clickclickclickclickclick…hell you can start clicking the loot before it all even finishes dropping…it takes more time to wait to TP into town, then run back and enter a new portal.

how about just 1 realm that has all the monsters from just 1 keywarden… getting a well rolled ammy takes thousands of tries

And the “not the cow level” too, please.

Tp to room +++

Personally remake game is much easier at tracking which portal is done oppose for it to close like vault. Especially when you do 500 machines in one session.

Its 2019 so no ssd isnt an excuse as its default hard drive format even in slow countries like Australia since 2013. My ssd is 7 years old.

I had a ssd drive, but it died… and I don’t really need another one…

I agree, but make it close in 90 or 180 seconds, just to get all the loot lying arround after killing the very last monster.

Exit portal (or TP) to room. Cleared portal realms close. No need then to “track” which are done as only uncleared remain open.

How about the game just allows you to open new ones even though they’re open. It could just have a popup like the boss battle popups where everyone has to agree. Maybe put a 10 second cooldown so you don’t burn a bunch of keys by mistake.

One minor problem with doing ubers:

It’s difficult to know if you actually picked up all the organ parts.

I’ve done ubers real fast, close game, restart next game and after a few dozen or more, my organ count is always a bit off.

Anyway, closing the portals same as Greed in Vaults is fine with me.

They’ve got a reason why they can’t close those portals, Cow or Uber. It’s something that there’s no fixed end, like a pylon or chest to click that they can code to end the instance.

I believe they’ve said they’d like to do make those instances close too but it takes some reworking of major mechanics in the instance or something along those lines.

All that said, if they could or would do it, I definitely wouldn’t complain.

If they put a “chest to click” in Vault, they can pop one in for ubers like the “bonus” chest for the “kill x for bonus chest” bounties…

Just move the code - “kill greed…drop chest…open chest…start timer” to “kill (uber x)…drop chest…open chest…start timer”

the chest was always in the Vault though. They designed from the beginning to drop the chest, so coding it to end the instance was pretty simple.

Adding a chest to the Ubers, takes more effort. I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know how much but like I said and believe, it’s a bit more difficult than just adding the chest.

Agreed! Nice QoL changes!

After a Lon season where I actualy needed a HF amulet I couldn’t agree more :slight_smile: First season every I ran out of forgotten souls trying for a good ancient one. Never got one thought after 2-3k souls lol.

I posted the same request some months ago and still nothing from blizzard. They better be “in the making” phase and hopefully we can see it in S19.
