Guild Wars 2

Can anyone lend a hand and explain the titular puzzle to me? Even with the wiki cheat-sheet, I’m stuck and can’t figure out the bit with the coordinates. This is quite possibly the worst puzzle design I have seen and I played the King’s Quest series.

Tried to ask a friend to help but apparently the portal only works if you adjust the coordinates yourself.

I used this one from Dulfy

And followed it blindly. It worked, but that doesn’t mean I can explain the JP.

I do know that if anyone else is doing it at the same time you’ll wreck each other’s settings.

what’s to explain? it’s not a jp, just a p.

Thank you, Donari! Going to try my luck with dulfy’s guide and see where it goes. As for what is there to explain? The logic behind the coordinates. I have read the scattered Asura notes around the area but I’m baffled as in how I’m supposed to figure this out.

Edit: Solved it. Was teleported to a random hillside with no chest. Going to assume this is broken and file a bug report.

Second Edit: Went back. Got the correct coordinates again. Now I was actually teleported to the chest. Tried again after that, just to see what happens. The third occasion (with the right numbers) ported me somewhere random.

On the first and third try there was someone else in the room, attempting the puzzle at the same. Not sure if that has anything to do with it since both the interactable panel and the portal are supposed to be phased to you. Hence why you can’t simply ask a friend to do it for you.
