Substance E.4852 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Twice now I've witnessed players dropping fake portals both during the spirits phases as well as on the chests at the end of the event themselvesThese somehow lead below the map causing the person who enters to drop into the water below and be forced to port all the way back to the Kodan camp and run back to the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illumine Sparkler.6019 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 They should add something to the combat log, ie used portal placed by “insert user name” otherwise there’s no way to know who placed the portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there are several (either mesmer or White Mantle) portals thrown down. The only 'absolute' fix is to prevent portals working on the split phase and I don't think that would make people happy either. The trolls have to place their portals right on the edge of the cliff and generally they're not so suicidal as to throw themselves into the void as well; thus anyone that uses the portal and moves without looking which way they're going will fall to their death but you can avoid dying by not moving the instant you exit the portal - just take a second to orient yourself and if it's on a cliff edge just back away slowly. P.S. The really annoying griefers on Drakkar are the jerk rangers that pew-pew the 'elite' Svarnir mob on the first phase through the wall geometry. More than once they've managed to but out the whole encounter because no one can hit the damn thing once it's behind the wall, so there's no way to get to the second cave.

coso.9173 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 so trolls have rather the event fail as long as they can **** a few people around? ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illumine Sparkler.6019 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’m all up for stopping portals in there, worked great before people realised you could portal in, if anything the event takes longer now, 5people at a champ it goes down faster than 20.
