WTF i used the portal but i didn'move at all it just showed me the portal animation and knocked me down -.- The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.27.200.164 (talkcontribs) at 19:55, 21 August 2013‎ (UTC).

I tried with a character that has all vistas done, and this happened every time. MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 20:12, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
I just tried using them with my world complete character (though I got world complete like 8-9 months ago and am now missing some PoIs and waypoints, but I have every single vista) and the first four worked, 5th one didn't. Trying to figure out what makes them not work. Mithran - Did you buy them one at a time and use them that way? Is it that the last one in a stack doesn't work? --Pie Formation (talk) 22:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Two stacks of two and one stack of six. After the first stack since logging in, I could not teleport until relogging ("You cannot use this item right now."). The next time I log in/access a character who has ported, they fall to the ground with a little image above them. I previously had a single portal device in my inventory and was ported nowhere.

Anyone still experiencing the bug? Recnamorcen (talk) 08:31, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, a guildie did 10 minutes ago. Alea (talk) 17:10, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm starting to think that's not a bug, but part of the "twisted" nature of the device. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 14:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Turns out it was a bug, and it got fixed in today's release. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 17:21, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

I used 4. Got 4 vista's i've not used. 74.134.139.60 01:38, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

So does it teleport you to maps you've never been to as well? User Karuro Sig.png Karuro 17:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

________________________________________________________________________ My Results:

  1. Above Brackwater Waypoint.
  2. On top a cliff south of Apostate Waypoint.
  3. Vista NE of Gentle River Waypoint.
  4. Outside Sullivan's Wake.
  5. On the beach north of Town of Cowlfang's Star Waypoint (under the vista).
  6. Vista above the crafting tables inside Black Citadel.
  7. On a bundle of logs suspended over Vigil Keep.
  8. Surrounded by trolls west of Avernan Waypoint.
  9. Vista at Griffonclaw Peak.
  10. Surrounded by Karka outside Karka Hive.
  11. Below the Mystic Plaza Vista.

Conclusion: This is a great way for a low lvl to acquire waypoints in each map. Smoke 11:59, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Used another and ended up just outside the vigil keep, stuck in a rock, hovering over a HUGE Veteran Basilisk guarding a chest. Easter Egg? Smoke 21:32, 8 February 2014 (UTC) User Smoke BasaliskChest.jpg

I've been using a lot of these to get around. Just for a change of pace, using them to get to different maps for Hero points (8 left to get!).
But I swear, like 75% of the time it'll send me to either Frostgorge or Orr. I'm starting to think these maps have some sort of priority on a lvl 80 char. It also loves sending me to the southern Ebonhawke vista whenever that map is picked.
Oh, and that failed-tele with 1 device's been fixed, but instead when I got teleported to LA (And zapped to the entrance for some reason, I imagine the removed cutscene to be the cause) it trapped me in the city with a Cannot Use error on the portal devices. Relog fixed it.
Other stuff happened too, mostly vista related and its xyz coordinates messing up. Getting trapped in walls, zapping into cool inaccessible areas (There's a whole extra floor above the Bandithaunt caverns!), falling to my death (can't glide, forced long KD) or landing in an AoE festival. Fun stuff. User Karuro Sig.png Karuro 17:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Single use? Unlimited?[edit]

Seems very expensive if it's single use, but if it's unlimited this would make PvE a lot more fun for me. Is it unlimited use? Lorazcyk 01:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

It's single use, just bought one and tested it 95.91.225.70 16:24, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I bought 5 and...[edit]

  1. I landed HARD next to the upper commons waypoint in Grove.
  2. I landed HARD (starting to think this happens every time) on the very tip top of the mountain due west of the Marionette's Landing POI in False River Valley, Lornar's Pass.
  3. I landed HARD (yep, every time) directly at the vista in Darkriven Bluffs, Wayfarer's Foothills, and was immediately attacked by a Son of Svanir.
  4. I landed HARD (getting old now) right next to the renown heart NPC Scholar Inka in Glacial Collapse, Frostgorge Sound. I picked up some Snow Truffles while I was there. :)
  5. I landed HARD at the end of the Buried Archives JP in Cathedral of Silence, Cursed Shore. I was staring right at the Grand Chest but I was defeated before I could even stand up. Cruel, TWPD, cruel... never again.

Used one[edit]

It took me to a Vista in Harathi that I had already completed. What a waste. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.162.247.233 (talkcontribs) at 06:58, 12 August 2015‎ (UTC).

Nightmare fractal drop[edit]

Today I have completed my first nightmare fractal (on Master tier, done it on lower tiers earlier) and I got this itemm seems like it's a t4 nightmare fractal drop
