Every time I enter the Lotus Halls its with a certain amount of dread knowing that I have to endure the wormhole sequence/cutscene 4 times in short order.
Clicking on a shard, ‘wormholing’ then picking up a key, only to wormhole again seems so very pointless to me.
And considering the sequence is not a substitute for a load screen, I’d be for shortening the sequence/cutscene as well.
Perhaps you guys could put a unique monster or something on each one just to add some purpose to the 4 wormhole sequences?
On that note, I’m really hoping they make the transition more smoothly. Kinda sucks to go through the time hole effect and you’re still ending up on a loading screen.
Yep, i’m also not a fan of this design.
I use a little trick to bypass the sequence atm.
After the first wormhole and clicking at the quest marker, open your map and teleport back to Temple of Eterra (or any other zone). After reaching that zone immediately teleport back to The Lotus Halls waypoint. Therefore you can skip 2 wormhole sequences and a long way of running back to the other side.
