It really sucks as a new player to access the fairly cheap portal creation/dimension travel ability and then have your progression absolutely destroyed for days while you try and get back to the hills.

This used to be less of an issue when Portal cost 25 SP, and non-existent when it cost 50.
lowering the price has generally been a confusing move

#

(so there's been requests in the past to raise the price back, for this reason)

#

I don't know if this is still the case, but vet players did literally recommend just starting over if the new player portaled too early.

You can leave hills before you've even reached the next quest that requires you to be in mc

no but i just started the game today, bought portal for just 20 points and now i am stuck in there for 4h, getting almost no slayer points compared to before. incredibly bad experience as a new player who just started the game and now cannot really play anymore because it sucks... very bad game design. i guarantee there are many people who just uninstall the game at that point

i thought i go back automatically after 4h but i think i have to spawn another portal.. now i am in jungle... i just wanna go back to my start area damn it
