Boss Rush/ Endless

[bisha]

Hey there, I am feeling a bit stupid rn, but hopefully someone can help me.
Been returning to the game after a bit of a break, and obviously quite a bit has changed.

Having fun with the new character rn and levelling it.

I used to do that via the boss rush portals, but they don't appear anymore for me.

Did they change how/when they are accessible?
Levelling feels a bit janky right now

Both portals now have a more lenient timer than before, but the red one still needs a shorter clear time than the purple. The levels may feel different because of the skill pools, some stuff got added with the "New beginning" update - the most important being the skill chaining. There was an overall reduction in xp gain rate, which was reverted.
Note: if you set your game launch under Properties to the beta branch, getting it back to main branch should bring the xp rate back to normal.

Thank you for the reply.
So I guess I just randomly always managed to beat stages so fast I always got both portals consistently before, because I can not think of any time I did not have them available.

Don't think my build is bad, but maybe I am just that much slower...
Guess I'll give it a go without any curse levels at all and see if that will help or if I get the same result.



Edit: Tried it and sure enough I got all 3 portals.
Guess I need to streamline my build a bit more.
Still feels a bit weird that I am that much slower than previously on other classes...
