They make us pay for the portal anyway. Why did they even bother doing this lol..

No clue, if the spawning portals in maps were free-to-enter or something I could see a point but right now it's just silly and irritating without offering anything extra than the event village portal. Anything at all.

As suggested before, make the spawn rates a lot rarer but make the entrance through them free. Right now the portal farming part that kept Tarlok entertaining is dead.

I find them totally pointless too...I mean, during the Goblin Event the mob portals used to be the only way.
But then a glitch was found and then the portal in the event zone was added, now I find the portal from mobs to be just irritating rather then useful.

Aside from introducing new players to the game, the portals are not doing much

Psstt ..

The portal from mobs gives you higher chance to meet large token bosses

It happens to me when im met Ursoth on my 3rd chance to use energy on start of the event (still on 45 event point)

And yes, i do have screenshot :)

I was hoping sts listened to us and make it free to enter portal. Just like tarlok event.

I honestly think its just to promote the event and tempt people to use plat to go in it...

I run to at least one every run :\ should make spawns same or less and make it freeeee :3

I'm so glad you posted this. I've wondered the same but keep forgetting to post. Maybe someone from stg will explain it in this thread but at this point it just seems silly.

The portals that spawn in the world as you adventure is to:

1) Fit with the fiction of the event
2) Discoverability for new players.

We significantly reduced their frequency to reduce the possibility of annoyance to our more veteran players.

There is no difference between going through a portal that spawns from mobs or going through the portal in Elondria.

Pls don't let them spawn at the elite heart thing at ashral tower, we we're completing it and sometimes you opened a portal (by accident) and you were killed.

It would be fun as all heck if something came through the portal from the other side and scared the bejeebers out of people!

It would be nice if we could destroy them like hauntlet canons. Keep 'em if you want to use it, get rid of it if it is in the way. Everyone happy.

Sam,

Is it possible to make the portals so that only if we tap on them (not use the attack button to open portal option) then they ask if we want ti go to event or not?

Im sometimes clicking attack in wt4, then a portal pops up after mob and im still clicking attack without realizing it, and my mage is looking left, right, left, right. (I want to play wt4, dont want to be prompted if i want to go to event whenever i click attack button)

Thanks
