what is the point of map checkpoints?

says in patch notes they added checkpoints in maps, what is the point if you have 1 portal? seems like a waste of time

teleporting from checkpoint to checkpoint

Teleporting to the nearest checkpoint if you end up missing a rare in one corner of the map, or if you kept a breach for after you completed the mal. Could save a minute or two sometimes I guess.

It's more useful in maps with corridors, less so in open ones.

maps only complete when you kill all the rare mobs

if you miss one at the start of the map, you can use a checkpoint to cut out the backtrack time



they shouldnt be called checkpoints, they should be called teleporters. because thats all they do : let you teleport to a different location in the map

so i can save like 20 seconds going back to the yellow monster i missed? wow awesome

backtracking to kill rares you missed.

Is this what people want? "Hey GGG, map sizes, layout and completion requirements all collectively suck but if you added waypoints it would be the best gaming experience in the history of the universe!"

Is that what GGG thinks our response would be? Or did they just figure that a terrible solution to a problem that shouldn't exist would be on brand?

Ya. People complained a lot about backtracking in campaign so they added a teleport feature to the checkpoints.
consequently they add some checkpoints in maps too now.

seems like they are catering the the casual audience with this, in that case, why 1 portal still?

yeah instead of asking WHY we keep missing rares and having to backtrack it feels like just a bandaid sollution.

if im within range of a rare, show the icon on the map, not when there are an arbitrary number of enemies left.

there are times i've apparantly ran straight past a rare, because it was one of those burrying enemy, and it didnt pop op while i was moving past it.
