Portals? Where did they go?

Portals still exist in Boralas/Stormwind and Dazar’Alor/Orgrimmar. Not to mention we still possess our Legion/WOD/original hearthstones.

It amazes me how much people have blown this whole thing up. I still travel almost anywhere with no issues. It’s simply not nearly as big a problem as people are making it out to be.

Some of us so no issue with portals being left as they were so that we could be efficient. Traveling from the jade forest to the shrine is time consuming when you have things you want to do and are on a limited time schedule to do them. Blizzard should have focused on adding some depth to the main story instead of playing around with portals. It took all of 5 minutes to do the alliance story update.

I never want to see a MMO resort to Diablo style Wayport hopping. WoW was heading that direction.

Crazy but I actually agree with Blizzard on this, the world needs some travel. The game was founded and designed originally under that mindset.

Not having a portal to the main city of an expansion (aka, Shrine) was a poor move.

Of course, having a portal to Aszuna is stupid as hell, too.

Bliz should be making improvements to the game not making it take longer to go where you want all for the share holders to see players are staying subbed longer…

The new portal room is fine but they should’ve left the old ones where they were and let the players decide what they like.

The game world is now several times larger than the original design. And some of these areas that we want to travel to are places we’ve seen several thousand times over by now. We’re not gaining anything with extra travel time being tacked on for no good reason.

And unlike vanilla, we have 3 hearthstones and a portal room (excluding the Portal rooms already in Boralus and Dazar’alor).

We still travel faster than vanilla post portal changes.

The Dalaran Hearthstone used to be much more useful when the city of mages had portals to different places, apparently Khadgar forgot to pay the portal tax before he left. And the Garrison Hearthstone is only useful if you’re going to Draenor.

That’s a lame excuse when we’re slower than we were a couple days ago.

Again, why not just remove travel entirely? Why can’t we just have the main menu allow us to pick a zone and pop us in there? According to these forums that’s “fun”.

Sorry, the game was heading that direction.

We’re not asking for that. That’s something you just made up.

No, it wasn’t. Not even close.

Yes, it very much was.

Again, you have access to multiple portals and several different options to travel.

You are turning a feather into a chicken.

They were sent back to the manufacturer, they had a defect that was causing Azeroth to shrink.

Well, luckily for you, WoW is the only one left that hasn’t graduated past the “make travel time take longer so people spend more time in game” metric.

Yeah,no.

I do wish they would have put this change on the launch with suggested routes because almost non stop on trade chat, where’s the portal, how do we get here now, etc for the last two days.

37

Hu? I’m the only one here telling people to calm down and give the changes a chance.

I actually got what I wanted, that’s rich bud. I merely have different opinions in how the game would be designed, we can only agree to disagree at this point.

38

Please refer to my post right before the patch.

This is yet another of my suggestions they implemented.

edit: I guess it is a false alarm! I went to the portal room to check the above report and there is NO portal to Wyrmrest

39

I wouldn’t mind that myself. After traveling a route hundreds of times, I would actually like to skip the journey.

I am doing raiding with leases and the only pets I have left to get are in Heart of Fear. I was going to leave it for next week, then I discovered they drop in LFR too and because LFR gives you an instance port to HoF, now I have more content to do this week.
