Guild Wars 2

The portals seem to bug out after a certain distance, is this normal and working as intended?

Also it’s sooo slow before I can activate the “use” key to tele and waste seconds on a quick dropped portal is that also intended or that too a bug?

There is a max-range, in PvE too.

I use Portal when I’m crafting in Divinity’s Reach and need to pick some stuff up from the TP. Pop a portal at the tailoring station, teleport to waypoint one level above, pick up goods, place Portal Exit and WOOSH! back to crafting.

However, if I try to do this in LA, my Portal “bugs out” since it’s too far away.

I would also like to see how much time i have to place my exit after placing entrance.

On the Wiki it says you have 60 seconds to place the exit before the entrance disappears.

For some reason if you take fall damage while the first portal is up, it will put it on cooldown.

I don’t think I was clear in my question sorry. I mean the 2nd portal… If I run as far as I can in 60 seconds and drop the exit the portal forms but ou cannot use it at all. Is that normal?

I think you exceed the max range between the 2 portals.

Yeah, there has to be a hidden – but PvP-only – max-range. I haven’t yet managed to disconnect them in PvE, but from the lower-left supply camp to the left keep’s wall, you can’t portal (would speed up supply ferrying a fair bit :P ).

the max range isn’t far is as far as you can go until you lose your target. If you have a friend in party with you, target them then run in any direction away from them. When you can no longer target them, that’s the max range. Not very far.

This was recently added, I believe.

You used to be able to do some silly ferrying with Portal. Now, you have to pay attention, because there’s no range indicator to tell you if the portal will work or not.

Somewhat of a quick fix on their part.

Range indicator…

using ur minimap at Max size with all the zoom in.. is the distance from the center to a border..

is around.. 4k distance..

The rumor is… zoom in completely on your mini map. Now zoom out two clicks. That’s the range between portals.

Also applies to z axis… i.e. top of building to bottom of building.
