Guild Wars 2

Red border around the “portal exit” skill when you’re out of range of your entrance.

Why hasn’t this been done yet ?
Are we supposed to carry some type of in game ruler to determine that distance ?
It’s all a guessing game to be honest ( trial and error until you know good spots to drop the portal at ).

This would just really help, because 2k+ distance doesn’t tell me much.
And with my bigger screen I stretch out the mini map and can’t really use it as a guideline.

Best part is we sorta got trolled with this. We asked for a range indicator before the first feature patch. We were told that a range indicator was being added. They added a range tooltip instead.

GG anet.

What may work with the Portal Exit is:

give it an AOE ring like an elementalist that stays at your feet. When it’s green, you’re within range and you can open your portal without it failing. When the aoe ring at your feet turns red, you are out of range, and your portal will fail.

How about instead of saying, heres another way anet could half kitten this simple request, we just ask them again to put a kittening range indicator on the exit skill?

That way, without cluttering my screen with an unrelated AoE circle when i’m fighting kitten, i just get a red bar on mu utility that lets me know that if i Use Portal Exit now, i’m kittening myself over cause it wont work.
