A tweak to endgame challenge dungeons

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

I like the challenge dungeons just as they are for a first play-through. However, by the time I’ve reached Ultimate and especially on a 2nd or 3rd character, simply traveling to the key door is almost a play session all by itself. None are particularly near a portal and all have a “foyer” level you must beat before even getting to the door.

I’d like to suggest that after some interval the gated doors become more accessible so a quick session could include one of the dungeons. I’m thinking something like beating the game on Ultimate, or reaching 100, or once you fully complete each dungeon, it then becomes accessible to a main camp somewhere with a portal. That is all. I love the initial design and the key mechanic, but once you reach cap and all reps are maxed, and you have millions in currency with nothing to buy… it’s very bland to slaughter through a couple hundred mobs just to get to the door so your play session can begin.

Thanks for your time.

unless it changes for FoA/devs change their mind
when Grim Internals died, and it was suggested to place portals closer to some bosses, including skeleton key dungeons, devs specifically rejected the concept because didn’t want to relegate it to “fast farm”/“portal in out” basically - and said to mod it if that was teh desire
*someone did suggest alternative shortcuts which wasn’t flat-out rejected but “we’ll keep that in mind” iirc(might remember wrong/mix it up with a different request tho)
