    Hi there,

    The newly-added custom mini-dungeons (Ulu 2, CDs, etc) currently use regular map portals such as...

    In my opinion, this might be confusing to new players or even veteran players since we'd normally associate such portals to go between maps in a zone rather than into a mini-dungeon. It also sticks out as clearly 'custom' content, when compared to the other mini-dungeon portals already in the original game added by Neckson, that look like...

    Therefore, my suggestion is that the newly-added custom mini-dungeons should use the above portal graphic instead, to be in line with mini-dungeons already in the game. This is because it'll help improve immersion and clearly denote to players that <insert portal here> leads into a mini-dungeon.

    Thank you!

    It never really occurred to me until I realised how right you are when it comes to streamlining precisely placed portals in perpetuity to purposely match preconceived paradigms around past portal placing practices.

    now say it 10 times really fast.​

    I definitely remember getting a little confused when I saw the new mini dungeon portal at CDs for the first time. I think this change would make the portals purpose a lot more intuitive.

    I definitely agree with this suggestion, it makes it far easier to tell they are mini dungeons, and really is just consistent with the vanilla game. Inconsistencies make the custom portals seem more hacked in rather than being a natural addition to the game.
