I never understood why they used the layout they did for the portal room. Also, why didnt they move the cataclysm portals aswell? Just make the room bigger with a lower and upper level in the same room instead of making seperate rooms for some portals.Its such a damn mess.
so timetravel stuff is now allways down with twisting nether outland and this means we got more of these potentialy ( i ready to much in to it)
I can honestly say I have never once even been to the Org portal room. Sounds like a nice quality of life change though.
Based on the complaints in this threads, Blizzard should just remove cities entirely. Just have every player spawn into a portal room with portal to every place imaginable. Wait, let's just have them choose from a list of locations at login, like some sort of level select.
The Ogrimmar Portal room, compared to the Alliance one, is an unintuitive mess.I'd switch in a heartbeat. The Alliance one is just so much better designed, and able to let you have new portals in the future with ease.In Ogrimmar they will have to add random rooms beneath. It sucks.
I have always said............. Do portal rooms like they do "Archmage Timear".... Have one "Portal Trainer" that will open up a list of all the places you can go and you choose from a list.
Old dalaran portal is used a ton more than Warspear considering people use them to get to ICC/Ulduar for old raiding and mount farming. You can use the garrison hearth/shipyard compass to get to your garrison and then warspear
I understand the need to have the most recent expansion's portal near the top floor and right next to main Orgrimmar.Almost mechanics-wise and business-wise it makes sense: players up-to-date with the latest expansion should have the privilege and convenience to be closer Orgrimmar.What I don't understand is why people complain about having to "traverse an entire flight of stairs to leave the portal area and enter Orgrimmar proper".To them I say: take a flight path, I dare you.The whole point of having a dedicated Portal Room for all expansions and important zones is to ease transport across Azeroth. But complaining about having to use the arrows or WASD keys on your keyboard to walk the stairs outside is just plain lazy. Even Stormwind has a spiral staircase you have to traverse before being able to mount outside.Walk it off.
Wait, there is a lower floor?
the whole portal room idea was so unbelievably unnecessary and dumb to begin with. especially because you cant mount in there. orgrimmar has so much outdoor areas and literally too much room if they really needed to place a portal hub anywhere.
Good thing the Stormwind Portal Room is below the tower, there is enough space to expand.On the other hand, why do we have to go all the way up the tower to then get teleported below? Well...
put the aszuna portal downstairs - we all have dalaran hearthstones. that portal is pointless.
You just talk to the mage npc to get ported to blasted lands. lol
