It is way great for immersion. There is no sailing somewhere with the bare minimum, set a portal and go sleep in your bed. You do have to make camps, find food, etc. Weapon durability becomes very important too since they are not trivial to repair.

I did a few no portals playthroughs but mistland kind of killed it for me. This biome is so tedious and unenjoyable I have no desire to really "survive" in it in a no portal run.

? You can just bring the mats for everything in a longboat that you might need (EA forge) and still be able to repair? I dont think that will change with hardcore?

Did I say otherwise? Of course you brings mats with you nut first you need to remember and plan well. Second there is point where really advance gear needs leveled up workstation. That's all.

It also means that going for multi day expeditions shouldn't be taken lightly.

No map is a no go for me. I tried it and honestly the landscape is not varied enough to enable good navigation. I know some do it, more power to them. Doesn't work for me. Not enough landmarks.
