This might seem like a bit of nitpick but the new way of entering a realm by spawning on top of a loadstone is rather lame and feels quite game-y. I appreciate to have that additional loadstone in every realm but I don't think it should have replaced the portal entirely.
Before 0.5 we had the open portal at our backs whenever we entered a realm and that was very immersive. It really sold the fantasy of traveling through worlds, whereas now it feels more like spawning on a different map. With the heavy focus of the story on reopening the portals the change feels even stranger.
I'd love to have the sounds of an open portal at my back once again.
