Guild Wars 2

The 20 player limit for portals has failed to deal with the mass portal/render abuse.

Teams that are determined to abuse culling in large scale fights simply have multiple mesmers placing entry, then they go through the initial portal and activate their additional portals at the destination allowing 40/60/80+ people to effectively use the same portal .

Possible fixes :
(1)Going through a portal places your own portal skill on cooldown.
(2) Further reduce the limit below 20.
(3)Going through a portal applies a debuff preventing you using a portal skill for a short time.

no, wrong way to deal with it, even tho i felt today the huge kitten slap that is portal culling…

Guys, there is nothing wrong with portal bombing. It is the CULLING that you should be complaining about. Portal bombing is a legit tactic used a TON in higher tiers

Guess what you have to do? Just like any other tactic, learn to counter it!

And yes you can counter it.

I hate balista’s placed in unreachable areas within a tower/keep. The only way to reach some is by a well placed balista of your own or a treb, oh wait that would be countering it. Let’s just nerf that instead.

Read what exactly? His post states that the 20 person limit failed to fix the mass portaling of players and the rendering of them.

And guess what I am saying? ITS A VALID TACTIC. Oh snap! :O

Portal bombing is a valid tactic. If a guild now has to have 2+ mesmers to portal bomb one location than they should be allowed.

And again, it’s the culling you hate about the portal bombing, I doubt the portal bomb itself. Because, again, if it really is the portal bomb itself you hate (if there was no rendering issue MIND YOU) than back to my example of an untouchable balista….

Learn to comphrened.

Reminds me of team stacking in TF2 for some reason… which is bannable on pretty much all TF2 servers.

It was never meant to do that in the first place anyway.
