If is not too hard to do, I don't see why not add it.
How do you know? And just because it is not hard, does not mean, it should be done.
Idea is when new instance is out, this would be also something I believe everyone would benefit.
How about they make an instance three times the hos size and make one portal to the last boss, if you done the maybe 15 bosses before?
It is no fun, specially when you can run instances for couple hours like most of us who work, to spend most of time running around to last place your party whipped / or where you disconnected.
And it is also no fun, if you jump from boss to boss.
If you have full party, then it kicks you out, if you have less then 12 people then mostly you end back in instance, but not consistently either.
That's what I meant. Fix that and make it consistently. That would be more beneficial than some ports.
I would love to see how many of them would use crystals if they get implemented, because if they do - that would make their objections just 'end gamer rant'.
No it would not. If they get implemented it would be stupid to not use them and run instead. This does not change the question about the necessity.
If something was one way for long time, it really does not make sense if it can't be improved/fixed. Just like housekeeper potions got fixed, or snoop got more option then original one,...
Just because something can get improved, does not mean, it should be done. Portals would only be a workaround for your problems (i.e. dying, dc etc.) not a real solution. Dying would be your own responsibility to change and dc is something the devs can work on, like reducing texture demand or other hardware/connection demands. Here they started already working on by reducing the used ram when reaching a certain value. Other dc issues maybe can be challenged with working on connection stuff or other things.
On the other hand are a lot of dc/crit issues on the player side and the players have to work on them because every game has certain requirements to the computer you are playing with and after a few years of continued development of a game, these requirements can also change so that some ppl have to realize they can't always use the same computer, just because it worked in the beginning. And even depending on the isp some issues exist.
tl;dr: Portals are not the solution to the existing problems.
