Maybe the flying pads should be tripled (3 points corners) and the surrounding pearls could be put more distantly so it doesn't interfere too much into jump-climbing (highest cause of rubberbanding in hub portal tower)

Thought, i have a design idea for a new portal tower which would be to put large floors following the path and the path swirling around a solid pole with flight pads around its concave corner.

The solid pole could have an empty center with water in it to use boat as an elevator. Doors being pierced in direction of every stages's floors.

I'll make an attempt with a 3d software to clearly show what i mean

We're swapping out the portals for the Trove Atlas which is a very cool looking cube-globe that opens up an interface to select your world. It's not an immediate fix to your specific issue but it's something that's on the way.

Arriving on 6/9/15!

This might not be the thread you expected!

I want to know what questions you are frequently asked in general chat by new players. What are the most common areas where someone needs to go to the community to get information? It's time for us to take another pass at our tutorial experience and I know the types of things I see often (knowing to craft the hub portal will be easier and an earlier introduction to class changing will happen are a few).

So what are you tired of getting asked about?
