Guild Wars 2

It’s not a matter of whether or not they should die as soon as they pop out of the portal or not. All i’m saying is it allows people to use it as an invulnerability which is clearly not using the portal as intended. Perhaps 2.5 min is a long time, but lets be realistic if you use it to escape from damage you shouldn’t be able to enter the portal again for some set amount of time regardless of whether you are entering or exiting the area.

The tower defender buff is an excellent idea though. 30 seconds is very reasonable and it solves the issue of portal jumpers.

Frankly, the entrance portals on forts make sense to allow players from the world to enter and exit their forts but there really needs to be a timer added to entering and exiting a fort.

Defenders simply come out of the portal, fight until they are low health, then run back inside and heal, and simply rinse and repeat. It really takes away from the WvW gameplay.

If you want to exit the fort to fight attackers you should be somewhat stuck out there. It makes no sense to allow defenders to skirmish in and out of their castle every minute or so.

My proposal is that once you exit a fort there should be a 2.5 minute timer to reentering the portal to prevent using the portal as a permanent invuln.
