| Category: | Landscape |
| Question: | Hope i put this in right category What determines when portal storms build and subside? It always says "leave this crowded area" but sometimes, there's hardly any one around. Is it a random chance that portals you away, or are there things that put you at more risk? Also , is it possible that the clouds could be more translucent in the future. It's difficult to fight multiple monsters when you're suddenly engulfed in a blinding purple fog. |

| Answer: | It's based on the number of people in a 192 meter area. Once a threshold is reached, warnings are issued to the people who've been in the area the longest. I'll look into making the particles a little more transparent. |
