Actually, thank you for that. I was trying to figure out how to get into CoT the other day. This portal change has got me all confused. I keep going to places where I remember a portal being there only to find it gone and I keep forgetting.
Sheâs part of the legendary staff quest line from Firelands. She only offers that to the classes who are on that step of the quest. So anyone who isnât the right class or has completed that step of the quest line can not use that teleport.

That NPC wonât offer you a portal to CoT. The only way to get there is through shat if you are revered with keepers of time.

Ah, okay. I didnât know that. Thank you.
The closest portal to Caverns of Time is probably the Uldum one in the Earthshrine. Thatâs level gated, so if you are not a high enough level youâre SOL, start walking.

Thatâs a you problem. You shouldnât need Blizzard to change the game for everyone to force you to play in a way that you apparently prefer.
Iâm glad you like this change. Do you understand why folks who prefer a different play style might not be so appreciative of this change being forced on them?

Except the flaw with that is a simple fact. Even players who are LEVELLING through the content, will feel the impact in a negative way. It wonât feel like Dalaran is committing themselves to winning the war. Itâll feel like theyâre only giving a token effort.
Also, the word âshouldâ is dangerous because Blizzard has a reputation of dropping the ball on many things they SHOULD do. Warmode had potential to be something great, but instead its nothing more than âpvp realm with a toggleâ. It should have been far more than it ended up playing out as.
Nobody argues about the visuals of the Portal Room (Alliance side, Horde side Iâve heard valid complaints). Itâs the price tag people speak up against.
They could have streamlined things without removing the old portals, having multiple options to get anywhere, so theyâre not all railroaded into ONE city (something they spoke against in past expansions).
That is the line we should never consider acceptable for any game. Ever. When change is made, it should be to Improve the game, not make it Worse. Thatâs one step forward, two steps back sort of mentality. Thatâs not progression, thatâs regression.

Unfortunately the people who like the portal change can only see the game the way they play. They donât care or understand how others play this game. Well, Iâd say 98% of the people who are for this change at least.

Do we think we will ever get over this change? Or will this be a permanent scar on WoW? Because honestly I tend to think it will be forgotten and turn into last xpacs news real quick.
Huh. I just assumed Coridormi appeared for everyone. But she certainly ports me to End Time.
I see them as bathroom breaks. Even when its new content, I use FP as bathroom breaks, respond to email. In short, the opposite of immersion. They remove me from the game. Which is a bad thing.

Nope. I am never going to stop fighting for the portals to come back. Why in the hell would I give up on something I believe in? Thatâs how I fail. I just stop.

Actually, no, it didnât. I donât recall any grand adventures spontaneously popping up because I hoofed it on foot.
Now in games like ESO, FF14 and others which DO have random events happening while travelling, things DO happen while you travel.
But, in WoW, the travel route is static, unchanging. The monsters are predictable, the safe areas are well known, and there is nothing except scenery to look at while you travel.

For some, its the final wound. The final knife in the back of a game they once played.
And itâs made even worse by people going âthe game was made worse, but thatâs ok!â
And too many people say thatâs ok. To actively make the game WORSE.

I donât think i really seen any posts about the portal room being bad, or it should not have been put in game. Portal changes have nothing to do with the new portal room. Itâs has every thing with removing portals.
Portal room good.
Removing portals was stupid.

I like the room, BUT, it feels like they could make a better system than this - Iâm often doing multiple ports in a row to get around. Just give me the ability to carry multiple different hearthstones and I can manage it way better.

Exactly. The only negative comments about the room itself has been pretty much on the Horde side. And that was âthe location is going to be a nightmare in warmode.â
IE its too easy for Alliance to lock the room down.

the people who donât have 100% uptime, arenât going to add game time just because a 3 minute trip was too much for them to fit in.
i still donât see how anyone has managed to convince themselves this is somehow making more money for Blizzard.
If the change isnât going to make any more money for Blizzard, then why did Blizzard implement it?

This should be good lol. There is no real reasoning behind the portal change at all.
