Map Instance Closed While Inside Vaal Temple

I was running the Vaal temple I just finished setting up.
I didn't die.

The map instance where the Vaal temple originated closed behind me while I was running the Vaal temple.

It's a horrible feeling to interact with an un-rewarding league mechanic AND lose the map at the same time.

Especially when I didn't die...
I won't even begin to discuss the idiotic idea behind death penalties.
This is a game. Make it fun. It currently isn't.

This is just bad. If the game opens a portal to the temple from the map then this map must be protected from collapsing on the default idle timer.

Not many people realize that the portal actually leads to the Vaal Ruins which is a staging area for the actual Temple. And it's accessible from hideout too.

You don't have to run it right away. The actual Temple starts when you click the Run Temple button. You can finish the map, go to your hideout, do whatever, and then go to Vaal Ruins and run the Temple.

But the game misleads you by opening the actual portal there from the map. And effectively tricks you into forfeiting the rest of the map.

This is a really bad design!

+1 and no mention of re-working it for the wk1 patch.

but good to know you can finish your map and then run the temple separately. like when i learned you can run unidentified maps for full portals.
