I’m going to whistleblow on my own server, because I believe I just witnessed this exact thing happening somehow. I saw one of our mesmers in the back corner of the northeastern alcove of garrison (directly underneath the south part of the Citadel). I thought it strange during a hectic assault when most of us were on the wall using catapults, this lone mesmer who snuck in, so it stuck in my mind.

Moments later, one of our prominent commanders, who’s icon I had been seeing in the southern portion of Citadel, announced that their portal was about to leave, and to gather up for it. Shortly thereafter he was no longer in citadel, but at the inner garrison gate with a siege golem, smacking down the door as those of us on the wall got wiped by a counter- portal bomb.

So my question is this:
Where is one able to glitch a portal from the north part of garrison that people in Citadel could take? …because that seems to be bug-worthy. Bug with the Z-axis perhaps?

We are such flecks as stars are made of. . .

Hello,

I have the same question. Is this an exploit or legit tactic?

Something I’ve discovered that might be relevant to how this could work: If you’re close enough to a WP that using it doesn’t cause you to hit the loading screen again, your first portal remains intact, and you can drop the second one (assuming it’s within range of the first). The Citadel WP might be close enough for that to happen.

There is a hallway in garrison on the north end, you can portal from Citadel to Garrison from there. I’m relatively sure this is a legitimate tactic because it fulfills all Portal requirements. Mesmer got to point A, Mesmer drops portal, Mesmer gets to point B, Mesmer drops exit in range. The two locations in this example may be blocked by a large wall, but they are most definitely close enough for the portal to reach.
