I have a mesmer alt too so I’m intrigued. Today I joined a Hero Point train in Auric Basin using my new lvl80 alt in order to complete elite spec.

Commanders running HP trains tend to be Mesmers (maybe for portals and such).

What he did for like many times was he will put a portal down(portal entre),then he’ll just stand and after ~3seconds he will put portal exit(exit) and voila ! We’re teleported to a high ledge OR any area like really far from where we are.

I tried asking him but he said it’s a secret. I’m dying to know this trick lol xD.

So my point is how is he doing portals on 2 separate points(Open and exit) while he is just standing there on his spot !!

TL;DR
Commander HP Train Mesmer ports us to different areas (high ledges/ really far places) by just him standing on his spot and putting down ports. He is not moving at all.

From my understanding there’s no legit way of placing portal from other places without having your character physically be there. You may have encounter a potential hacker.

No way to go that unfortunately. Either he was hacking or you got mixed up and were looking at someone else standing on the portal waiting to be ported

I even targeted him just to be sure he’s still standing on his spot.

And also one thing i forgot to tell, he was able to port us in some areas in AB blocked by vines (which needs the meta to be done so the vines are not active)

He was hacking, no legitimate way to do that

The exit was probably placed with some weird positioning standing below the ledge, i mean, the way the terrain is programmed in this game is weird in a lot of places.

Well it seems like he’s hacking.

@Ghataka, he was just standing on his spot(no blink no split etc), he was able to port us into really far places (like what i said, areas blocked by vines)

Yeah, that’s gotta be hacking.
