I have a confession...

[Sky.7610]

I like to run around in newbie zones mailing new players 'Twisted Watchwork Portal Device' (which sends them to random location in the world). I then encourage them to use it to bring them to the promised land. Free test subjects.

 

Happy holidays!

[usnedward.9023]

bwhahahahahaha

 

Now that's funny.

[Ayumi Spender.1082]

No clue what this means, but it sounds awesome. I want one.

[Shirlias.8104]

Good job Soldier!

Happy Holidays to you!

 

For those who don't know the item, here's the wiki page https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Twisted_Watchwork_Portal_Device

Ohhhh that's brilliant, gotta try it out.

 

Personally, I often disguise myself as a cow/bull with a tonic, and blend in with other bulls/cows in the starter areas, or slowly walk the roads. Puzzled newbies always come to check out why that animal has a player tag, often resulting in pretty humorous whispers.

[Myrdreth.6829]

That sounds fun! I wish I could see their reactions :D

[Goettel.4389]

Funny enough to forgive the clickbait.

[Veprovina.4876]

Lol. Gotta troll the newbies sometime. :sweat_smile:

 

Though, how do you know who is a newbie and who is leveling their 15th alt character from scratch and knows all there is to know about the game?

[Aeolus.3615]

That reminds the mesmer portals into areas with no floor and people woud die xD

 

On raganrok online we used to spam a few saved portals into some strange areas, new players QQ alot xD but we would portal them back to city as well after the scary momment.

[Tenrai Senshi.2017]

... Why didn't I think of this before? XD

[Super Hayes.6890]

This made my day lol. Thank you! I clicked "helpful" cause it helped me :)

[Aloysia.7846]

Bahahaha. That is awfully awesome!

[Offair.2563]

What i do is put myself down as a guildbanner with a tonic, not far off a waypoint. Then i take the waypoint so my banner stays there and my name plate is at the wp. then i announce banner at x wp and most times people come and wonder why they can't click it.

 

Edit; this no longer seems to work...

[ardhikaizecson.3697]

When I was still new I remember I received this item on my inbox, someone sent that item more than once.

[Cragga the Eighty Third.60]

I got one of those! :O

It took me to Queensdale, inside a bush where a treasure chest was hidden.

I've thought about doing that. I've had one in my inventory for awhile. I'd be funny if there was a toy item that gives out one twisted watchwork device per player then drop the toy at the new player starter areas.

[Randulf.7614]

lol brilliant

 

there used to be something similar in Lotro where you had a keg of dodgy beer from Moria as a Guild Hall decoration. Guild officers would encourage unsuspecting players to drink it for a buff and then laugh when the player woke up dizzy and drunk in the middle of an end game zone...

 

Good times!

[Loboling.5293]

Simply amazing idea. I actually did this on purpose myself with a lowbie ranger. (lvl 20 boosted) I bought a bunch of gear and eventually made my way through Orr. (I think I had hit 23 by then) Was quite a challenge to get around without ever getting hit, and I had a fun time. I was inspired by a similar journey I took in wow on my old hunter. Taking a lowbie into high level zones is always so interesting when I'm learning a new game. But sending others into them, without them knowing what's happening, that's a recipe for fun! haha

 

Great idea, I'll be sure to do this on occasion. (especially when I see duos walking the world *evilgrin* x_x, you get to split them up for a moment, and there's a good chance their are on voice com, so one of them gets a good lul when their team mate disappears and starts screaming on ventrilo. haha)
