So I seem to recall we were promised new portal rooms at Blizzcon to make finding where we need to go easier. Any news on that or is this just another thing they forgot to add in this patch like the Blood Beast taming tome?
Indeed, the portals in Orgrimmar are scattered all over the place. Iâve found several long term players who had no idea we even had Cataclysm portals.
Piffle! So⊠Iâm just using my mage from my other account and porting my low alts on the other account to each of the harbors and major cities, then flying them around on the X-53 to get all the flight paths in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms and then just play the low areas anyhow. I just resurrected (re-subbed for one month ) an account where i have a mage so I could do that. I only play the low areas now anyway. Blizzard/Activision ticked me off when they took Glyph of Nightmare (and about 350 Inscription spells i knew!) away from my Warlock after Pandaria, then I got bored mining in the Garrison, got totally screwed up with changes in Legion, and only upped one of my 3 accounts to BFA to find out itâs only been getting worse and worse since Activision took over and Chris Metzen left. Iâll just play free to play alts up to level 20. Iâll make a few extras on the unsubbed account this month and use the mage to get them access to flight paths and harbors. Dang it, but I miss Cataclysm (or even just Wrath.)
They are due soon, but from what I saw on the ptr forum they arenât very well done. Donât remember the exact complaints but people werenât pleased at all.
Edit: horde âportal room is too smallâ is the title. It is on the ptr GD forum. I canât post links because I am just not cool enough I suppose
Iâd much prefer a simple waypoint system (ala diablo/argus) or just a teleports tab added to the spellbook.
The problem I have with all this portal business is that it mostly amounts to remembering where all the portals are and putting up with load screens. Itâs just not a great experience, but one that everyone deals with every day.
The problem for me is that weâre losing more portals than weâre getting in the new portal rooms. Weâve already lost all of the ones in Pandaria. With the next update, weâre getting portal rooms but losing all of the portals in Legion Dalaran.
I donât necessarily mind the concept of portal rooms. What I mind is losing features and functionality that I currently use and enjoy.
They have also removed quite a few portals from older expansions. For example you can only go to Org , Shat and the old Dal from the Pandaria temple now. Seems petty to me and just another time gate that we didnât ask for.
