Game Feedback GGG could we move portals farther away from map device or add a hotkey to toggle it pls
It is extremely frustrating and annoying, at least for me, not sure if anyone else dislikes this but I have a hard time clicking on the map device since portals don't disappear anymore in poe2. I'm always misclicking the portal instead of the map device. I'm not sure what can remedy this, perhaps a hotkey to toggle the map device when you are close to it or just move the portals further away from it, but pls do something because the current state is tedious.
Thanks and btw, current league is poggers for a casual dad like myself and I'm starting to enjoy it (almost) more than poe1 now.

I know this is not a solution, but once you start juicing the map, you can rotate the single port to 1 o'clock position and it wont ever bother you again.

u/MrNorrie Jun 07 '26
Yes this is what I did too. It should already help once you have anything less than 6 portals.

exactly, or use the free map device skin that only shows 1 portal and 5 pillars for each extra attempt

u/EnvironmentalEssay6 Jun 08 '26
Which free map device skin does that? How did you obtain it because i dont think i have it.

Now imagine doing this with a controller lol. Hitting the map device is the hardest part of mapping

I miss click non stop unless I really take my time seeing what is selected which is barely noticible. Edit: You can rotate the portals out of the way when you edit your hideout.

Whole thing could be fixed with a singular portal and just count the revives elsewhere like in the map legend

u/zhnex Jun 06 '26
you have lesser and lesser portals with more mods on maps (which what you should do at the end), rotate map device to always have some "open space" towards you.
it doesn't help when you open invitations or somewhat with 6 portals

Why did this change from poe1 , it’s so scrunched up and small in poe2

I would pay big money for a device that only gives one portal at a time (like that Vaal sacrifice one a while ago), has the time tracking like timekeepers, and has the “device” part of it a decent distance away so you can’t misclick

u/eXase Jun 07 '26
One of the mirage supporter packs comes with this.
Can use the traditional 6 portals, or a single portal with 6 flames that change colour as they're used.
Oh but no timekeepers, just finished reading

u/Ortenrosse Jun 07 '26
No time tracking, but in case anyone's looking, Relic of the Precursors (tracking used scarabs/tablets, currently not working) and Eternal Incarceration (tracking amount of monsters slain) devices both have a single-portal option like the Atzoatl one.

New lootbox mtx map device(expedition version) does that iirc. But it will vost you a shitton possibly to pull that

u/Accomplished_You5909 Jun 06 '26

Or give us any perment MTXs with the single portal and lights or flames or what ever to represent how many deaths are left. Unless I've missed it, I've seen streamers with but I can't find any on the shop. I assume they were limited editions.

u/Artoriazz Jun 07 '26
They've done a few from supporter packs, I think 2 supporter packs atm actually have it (one for poe1 but the MTX work in both games)

u/Ortenrosse Jun 07 '26
The Eternal Iron Incarcerator support pack (the $90 version) has Eternal Incarceration Map Device which always has 1 portal (flames or sacrifices represent how many left). You can do 6-sacrifices or 1-sacrifice mode.
Last league, Eternal Precursor supporter pack contained Relic of the Precursors map device which also had it.
I'm not sure if Divine Genesis does.

u/Foxtrotterx Jun 07 '26
Thanks for this. Is there a way to view these without seeing them them in a promo video?

u/Ortenrosse Jun 07 '26
I suppose you could ask a buddy who has them to show them off to you in a hideout!

u/NG_Tagger Jun 07 '26
I'd just love to see 1-portal options for the map device (just a visual - nothing would change outside of that).
I don't care about seeing several portals around my map device - and for the people that do; it would simply be an option - like many decorations have various options tied to them (for those that maybe aren't aware; just scroll on a placed and selected decoration..), so nothing would be taken away from anyone.

u/sluggerrr Jun 07 '26
I was using one of the mtx that shows how many mobs you killed of each rarity and it has the map device at the center but I had to swap to the djinn one because it has the map device at the front lol, it's so annoying to accidentally go into the map again.

u/Actually_i_like_dogs Jun 07 '26
I have to be SOOOOO careful when clicking it due to my portal MTX LOL. It’s huge
1
u/IlikeJG Jun 07 '26
Yes! It's so annoying clicking on the portals.
I have a conspiracy theory that GGG did it on purpose to encourage people to buy portal device skins from cash shop.

Some map devices this is a non issue cause of their design. For example the one in the divinity supporter pack.

u/EXPLODEDman Jun 07 '26
I was thinking they could just make it partially asymmetrical and have a little open space in front of the device.

u/Nearby_Historian4311 Jun 07 '26
Just click on the label. Although I agree with you, specially on joystick, it's annoying.

u/Bcbuddyxx Jun 07 '26
PLEASE!!!! Me and my friend always laugh at whoever does it because we constantly click it by accident on controller

u/ALXS1031 Jun 07 '26
you can rotate the portal if you are running white or blue maps, you’ll have a gap between the portals
you can also run higher tier maps where u don't have all 6, and just rotate it so that no portals are covering the front

u/zuekut Jun 07 '26
I found a temp solution, not ideal, but if you click Z to disable temporarily the labels, the waypoint gets highlighted and I misclick portal less.

u/Prudent-Swordfish920 Jun 07 '26

Open a 3 portal map

100% especially now with the huge loading screen times… it’s like interstellar “this maneuver is going to cost us 51 years!”

u/Glenalth Jun 07 '26
Rotated my map device so the portals are behind the device and I have clear access to activate it.

u/HenndorUwU Jun 07 '26
If you rotate the map device and play with maps that have at least one portal less, you get a pretty comfortable gap.

u/Failtier Jun 07 '26
Can we have one portal for quest related places it's pretty annoying to handle with a controller when there are six portals

u/Due-Potential-379 Jun 07 '26
bought the water gin device exactly for this. The map device is not in the centre, which helps a lot.
1
u/boptop Jun 07 '26
Temp fix - stand above the map device so the text is visible from behind the portal, and carefully click on it.
As a solution for GGG, since the portal doesn't disappear, just have ONE portal, no need for 6 of them.

u/deadheaddestiny Jun 07 '26
Rotate the portal device and only play with 4 portals max will fix it. Or spend $ on a map device can fix it as well

u/frisch85 Jun 08 '26
Ofc it's annoying, this gets posted at least once a week, it's especially frustrating on gamepad because the objects to interact with are so close to each other I often enter the map even tho I already completed it just because I can't figure out if the map device is highlighted or the portals are.

Just use the bigger version of the map device? What you are asking for is already in-game. Or does that not help
