Oh dear, what once seemed like a good way to help players in Diablo 4 actually proved to be more of a hindrance, leading Blizzard to roll it back. Special portals, added for quicker escapes from pits and towers, were causing people to miss out on valuable loot, and have now been removed.
It's the topline change in the latest Diablo 4 hotfix. "Finishing a pit or tower run no longer spawns a portal to exit from," the patch notes state, followed by some further context: "Our intention with adding this portal was for [quality-of-life], but it missed the mark."
