Guild Wars 2

I tested portal range in PvE/WvW/PvP. To my surprise, the range is actually shorter in PvE/WvW compared to PvP.

• PvE/WvW – 4,999 in.
• PvP – 5,999 in.

Why ANet made portal range 1,000 units shorter in PvE/WvW confuses me, especially knowing that PvP maps are much smaller in size compared to PvE and WvW maps. Here’s a vid of portal failing at 5,000 in PvE yet succeeding at 5,999 in HotM: [link]

Bonus – garrison to citadel max portal range:

Interesting….why indeed…..then again this is anet. We are simple gamers that try to comprehend the minds of the people that shape this game only to be more confused then when we first started.

Also how ya get the distance to show? What program or setting?

This is just an assumption, since I don’t know the sizes of PvP maps, but maybe they wanted to make the portal useable at almost any distance in PvP.
Since portals are much more useful for WvW zergs, it’s only logical that they decided to have it a bit lower there.
