Alters typically much more difficult than the map they are located within.

Title pretty much says it all.

The risk vs reward is just not present. High risk, very low reward. High risk of getting caught on weird terrain, the mods make the encounter much more difficult than the map content.

I've never seen anything in the rewards that was worth running, except an exalt. I can get exalts in other ways much easier.


I just had an encounter where a large building was in the alter area. Whelp, both sides of the building were dead ends, so- two deaths. Basically a reverse crecent shape area. Beat it on the third once I realized what was going on- but losing 20% exp for absolutely nothing is dogshit.

Not to mention, extremely frustrating dying in such a stupid way twice. Just because I'm fucking trapped in a zone. Losing because you have nowhere to kite is soooooooooooo fucking annoying.
