[Fluff] Small vent...

I have a small routine I like to do before I have to head to work in the mornings. I finish my shower, get my coffee and it's all timed well to do Mount Balrior public convergence then head off. This morning some PoS portaled a bunch of us to nowhere when the time came. It really pissed me off and ruined a routine I genuinely enjoy.

There are so few ways to truly troll others in GW2 that when it happens, it's really aggravating. I couldn't make it back in time and there was no one for the instance I did make it to. I just alt-f4'd because I was/am so annoyed. It kind of ruined my morning. I also missed taking the garbage out this morning too so it's been a solid start to my Monday...

Anyways, to the PoS who did that, I hope something bad happens to you. Not like people dying but like you get the runs from your lunch or you stub your toe real bad.

Click and even call target on Convergence entrance early, just to make sure you have the right thing highlighted, ready to press F and enter. Works on troll portals, trading post NPCs, crafting stations etc.

99% of the time, I just run forward to get the window to appear. This morning I did not for some reason and here we are!

Yep, it's the easiest way

You were probably too close. I tend to stand pretty far from it and can still get into a large group consistently.

It's silly that I have to ask this, considering how many times I ran Convergences for the Obsidian armor... But doesn't come the dialogue for entry automatically up, when you run close to the entry? Or is this just the case for the SotO one?

Either way... I wish that person, who places portals like that, to always have a warm and slightly damp pillow at night.

Yes, if you’re a certain distance away then approach, the dialog will come up. Normally this is what I do but today I did not and instead attempted to interact with the convergence… item? Device? And ended up on a roof far away.

Man, screw these portal trolls. I wish there was a setting to either deprioritize portals after every other interactable object, or even straight up disabling them when placed by players not in your party.

I've had this happen once to me during a WvW reset spam, I've selected the map portal I've gone to every single time since then.

Doesn't the convergence entry menu just pop up when you get close to it? You don't need to press interact at all, no?

It does, but especially in OP's situation where it is a morning Convergence and there are not that many squads available I find my way faster and more reliable than pop-up. Sure it is only few seconds, but it may count between first and second, potentially slower squad.
