New Alexander arc in Kalisti Wharf (spoilers and more spoilers!)

[Display Name]

Can the final portal to confront Botis in the final mish of Alexander's arc be a *wee* bit more obvious?  I thought that the portal to confront him was just another dead portal and completely ignored it!  There was no energy "door" so I just ignored it and wandered aimlessly for an hour!  Finally, a very gracious player showed me that the dead portal was actually live!

 

Give it a red shade, maybe?  Like what was experienced in the previous mish involving Botis?

[Psyonico]

Yeah, the portal needs to be fixed, you can use it, but there’s no indication that it’s an active portal.

 

Also: I want to know more about this radio announcer in the first mission of the arc!  So far this is the only new arc I’ve run and reading his stuff makes me want more detail on what’s going on with the Warriors

My buddy and I did exactly the same thing! If it were the only portal in the room I probably would have tried it but being among multiple ruined portals it looked to be just one more so we backtracked over the whole mission for quite a while until my buddy finally tried it on our third trip back to that room.

Hey! I'm pretty sure I fixed this for Headhunter in beta.

 

My data!

But also, it's like the ONLY portal not cluttered with debris and largely unobstructed. How did you not try it?

Because it appeared to be a room full of ruined portals with no indication that any of them were active. 

 

Its the difference between this:

 

and this:

 

Why would I expect the first one would do anything? The game has shown us time and again that a lit up portal goes someplace and one that is not lit up does nothing.

spelling is hard

Fair enough, but I really thought the context of "this hole isn't plugged" would warrant a try.

 

I'm going to go back and look though, because I was fairly sure I lit up this portal per feedback and maybe that data didn't merge in.

I'm just gonna add another anecdata point that I also thought that portal was inactive and spent a lot of time looking around for an active portal.
