have the portal skill apply aoe damage whenever one uses it to portal back and forth so that it can be used as a damage applier also. add some boons too and it can be more useful.

You know, Portal is already pretty much the single most potent skill in sPvP…

Only fools and heroes charge in without a plan.

You know Zahld, looking at your post history, just to let you know there is no achievement or rewards tied to making suggestions on the forum.

Now now, Trogdor. Being a fount of suggestions is far better than being a constant detractor of the game without constructive feedback, as we see far too often here. Let us not discourage the OP.

Well it would be different if the suggestions had a little more thought put into them and more detailed information on why the suggestion would benefit the game. Most of the OPs suggestions seem to be things that just came to mind with little or no reasoning as to why it is being suggested.

I agree it is much better than bashing the game without constructive feedback, but it kind of goes both ways. A suggestion, if one wants Anet to take it seriously, should be a bit more detailed and not just something that seems to be random ideas posted on the forum.

As a mesmer, I would rather portal not apply damage! You can apply stealth before entering the portal, but I’m sure any random critter running onto the damaging portal will simply knock off your stealth and apply reveal.

In addition to this, perhaps you are trying to cover a greater distance with portal and suddenly you’re in combat and moving slower as soon as some random enemy tried chasing you into the portal and takes damage as you’re getting away. The enemy isn’t going to be killed by a little portal damage and thus the damaging quality of this theoretical portal change will serve as nothing more than an inconvenience.

I fail to see how this would add anything to our current portal and be useful anywhere in the game, and I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons not to include this half-baked idea.

Golden shackles are still golden.

Portal is fine. I feel like OP came up with this idea because he wanted more AoE skills for the mesmer. Well you’re in luck! Just wait till HoT and you get chronomancer aoe skills.

sighs…i’ll never get such an achievement i guess.
sorry, that’s all of the depth of the suggestion that you get. your replies (at least a few of the replies) don’t contribute much to the suggestion either.
i don’t really see much portal skills being practiced in spvp really.
make you’re own suggestions and put you’re own amount of thoughts into them.
opinions noted.
some replies are constructive though and also noted.
make the suggestion a trait, perhaps, if it is too intrusive of different of game-play usages or have undesired affects.
and if the suggestions are not good enough for you, i don’t want to hear about it.

You are not even making sense at this point. This is why you need to stop making suggestions until you can do so with more detail and reason to your suggestions. Your suggestions should include why it benefits GW2 players with detail. I’m sorry but most of your suggestions come off as some random thoughts you had and felt obligated to post on the forum.

when you have more of a criticism on the suggestion and not it’s presentation, please reply.

I do. What does your suggestion ofter to GW2 as a whole? How would it improve the game for everyone? How should Anet balance the game based on your suggestion? What potential negative affects of your idea can you see when it comes to PvP/WvW/PvE? Most importantly, why did you suggest this? What is the main reason your suggestion should be implemented? If you can answer the latter I will be fine with it.

If I were to follow your typical suggestion method I would say something like, “Mesmers should have rifles. With a ranged portal, bonus to stealth and extra condition damage. It would be more useful.” See that doesn’t really explain anything. It doesn’t explain what Anet could improve upon and why.

good questions. i’ll pose some of those to you. maybe you can find a place for the suggestion somewhere in the game. my suggestions are not to answer questions but i may answer some questions. the suggestion is to improve the portal skill, it doesn’t improve the game as a whole that much really, just a tiny bit (desirably so). what balance may there be needed? negative?…portal skill becomes meta? i suggested this to troll the gw2 discussion forum…seems to partially be working. It should be implemented to troll opposers of the OP portal skill.

I’m glad you admit to trolling. That’s kind of sad when others in this thread asked to give you a break. I’ll be sure to quote this when you decide to troll the forum with your “suggestions” later on.

I’d say that your trolling jig is indeed up. I hope you had fun with it while it lasted.
