Now I don’t have an issue with it myself, but I imagine a new player character joining the game (are there new players?!?) to try out the Winter Convergence event being advertised all over… and trying to follow the content and then getting insta-squashed while trying to do the Winter events.
Just thinking that the 55 corrupted portals might not be the best choice to surround the Everfall Winter Village with.
Not sure what the devs are thinking (were they thinking?).
Screenshot, there’s a couple more underneath the tooltip.
Well yes, I can definitely avoid or fight or whatever.
I just remember being a low level first starting out and seeing a Red Skull (unknown level mob) that came out of nowhere and instakilled me. That’s how these portals are for new characters just thinking they are going to the Winter Village for a fun event.
An obstacle course of death might not be the best introduction to this game for new players joining because they want to see this event.
I feel your complaint, it is a stupid place to put a high level area. But a high level player might think “Oh cool there is an event right next to a fast travel point”
I come from a lineage of punishing games that I’ve learned “don’t go near there at x level” so I just see it a little differently. The death in this game is rarely punishing unless you neglect to put a camp up so… meh.
