To introduce myself i’m a “long time” ARPG player playing minion builds. I started with Diablo 2 as per usual, continued with Diablo 3 proceed to quit because it was shit and tried/stayed with POE since Beastiary.
So why do i make this suggestion (title)? Let me add context : I died yesterday for the third time on HC, the first two times where totally my fault and lack of awareness ! 1st same as Zizaran death on Lagon with a bleed bomb falconer 
, 2nd on void monsters with bad build defensives on a roid mage necromancer 
. Every single death is about level 85-90 at early empowered monolith level so no insane scaling that make everything a one shot.
For the third death, i’m farming to get my build on a low life setup and getting the new unique for wraith (wanting to try what RaizQT is doing) so my build is incomplete but doing fine dmg and has way better defensive than my other builds, leech (with minion up that is really important) / crit avoidance about 2.8K e/hp more movement speed, overcapped res (100% everywhere).
The story :
When entering an echo i encountered the largely most bullshiest mob type i can ! The worm that dashes behind you stacking both bleed and poison + an instant breath that apply a dot. Knowing that i still try the map raising my awareness raising my head and back full gamer mode activated 
! I try, first time i get hit in the map i got stun - ~35% hp, my reaction is HELLL NA 
going out asap might have dangerous mods for a regular mob to hit me for this much ! Remembering Steel mage saying “deadly” tag is double dmg done “maybe it’s that” i say to my self i need to get the fck out or i’ll die i think. While my minions are still attacking a group of mobs (i summoned them and almost get oom) i proceed to go a bit back and press T as an aware gamer … this is the mistake sealing my fate 
… I click the portal … feeling safe WHAT A FOOL I WAS ! The “entering portal” appears ALL my minions are gone leading all the mobs straight to me, almost no mana, no pot because getting chunked + stun sound made me use 3 / 4 potions reflexes 
! I try the secret justu of running away as far as possible in a straight line waiting for the “entering town” to come true… 
… transplant … -1 potion 
… 0/4 potions … running 
(the character is a woman) … still waiting … i have a vision of papa Ziz “try to die less than i do” 
… still waiting …
dead 
… 
emotions
So with this story and context done i have some feedback:
1- Why is the “entering town” phase is so long ? (most probably because of server issues) i’m like okay with this i’m aware my mistake on that still not acceptable but understandable .
2- Why do minions disappear when taking portal or going from instance to instance ?
I could see that because you are entering town you try to clear the minions for visual clarity, but why do they dispawn before the loading screen? Really mad about that since my regen i tide to minions being up and hiting.
3- Could you make the worms that dash behind you and instant spit on you a bit more telegraphed so we don’t get hit instant ? they feel very unfun and uninteractive monsters (even if they do challenge your build tankiness 
)
4- If for some other reasons changes before won’t help because sever issues make tp this long ! Why don’t we get a “grace period” buff to take 0 dmg while waiting for the “entering town” loading or any instance to instance waiting? I feel cheated out of this death 
if you are thinking it could be abusable just make the buff “Player take 0 dmg and deal 0 dmg” or simpler deactivate DMG events whatsoever when players are using a portal or doing an instance change so it wont be abused to kill bosses outside of gameplay ! For me it just feels wrong thoughts ?
Thanks for reading this entirely i hope you had some fun with my story, hopefully you can change this, it’s gamer thing but i really feel cheated on this death and i don’t want anyone to have this feeling again !
Sidenote
Also don’t say i made mistakes i 'm well aware of that, it’s just the portal mechanic, in POE you have disconnect macro in D4 (bad) you have cheatdeath elixirs so i’d like to at least have this portal to function in a proper way as a last resort if i make a mistake and have the reflexes to open it + click on it before dying (not a 10 sec “entering town” weird floating font 
) Or clearly say for HC player there are no safety net like that in our game.
Keep up the work a game is not easy to make have a great day / night.
