I tend to use portal a lot, I think it helps in many situations and it’s an all around fun skill. One problem I have is; many people mistakenly hop in my exit portal thinking they will save some time, but instead, they are sent backwards like 100 yards.

One idea I had would be to have arrow indicators on the portal itself when it becomes active. The arrows would point to the location of the opposite portal. An entrance port would point forwards and an exit portal would point backwards. I don’t know if this would be difficult or even possible to program into the game, but I think it would greatly reduce the number of those unintentional “troll” ports…

That is all,

peace.

…Or even a more subtle effect like having the portal animation flowing in the direction it will take you.

But troll-portals are so much fun! But no, I agree, it could help greatly in envoirments were communication is limited.

Honestly i love when people decide to use my selfish portals and die. Screwing “allies” over is almost as fun as trolling enemies and twice as hard.

I think portals needs some change, but not this one.
I dont want enemies to know the direction of my portals exit/entrance, people just shouldn’t a take portal if they dont know where it will get them…

If someone drove up next to you with a white windowless van and said he could take you somewhere, anywhere, would you get in?

Treat strange portals the same. Stranger danger!

PvP modes are the “endgame” in all MMOs.
Stop failing at PvE, and fix WvW/SPvP. Thank you.
