I know I’m not the only one that has entered the wrong end of a portal or sat around an enemy portal thinking it was friendly portal.

It occurred to me that adding an arrow to friendly portals that pointed in the direction of the other half of the portal would be a simple yet nice addition. Maybe even have the arrow point towards the player that dropped it until the second half is laid. Heck, a countdown timer that hovered over it would be sweet too.

Bonus question: pre launch, anet said that portals would be accessible by foes, what ever happened to that? I still lol when I think about the possibilities of knocking a foe back through a portal, or how this would affect camping wvw JPs (not that this happens much anymore).

TL;DR – add directional arrows to portals that point to the other half of the portal, viewable by friendlies only.
