I'm talking about this little snippet "Mesmer Portals can no longer be interacted with when there is an obstruction between them and the player."

How exactly have arenanet recoded it? Players can still port through walls, up slopes, around corners etc....

You're not understanding the change. This made it so you can't ENTER a portal that is on the other side of a wall.

You still don't understand. Example:
You are outside of the keep. A friendly mesmer is inside. If he drops the exit where he stands, jumps out over the walls and drops the entrance for you, you can use it to get into the keep, that's working as intended still. What they fixed was that the mesmer could drop the exit inside the keep, then walk to the gate on his side, and drop the entrance *on his side of the gate*, and you could still activate it through the gate.

That clears it up for me. Good stuff.

Ooooh. I get you now. To stop it when for instance, dies at an area inside a keep where he can be ressed (such as bay water gate) then drops the portal where he is ressed to bring everyone inside

The only problem with this fix is it was the only way of escaping when stuck in the landscape or an object so hopefully that will be the next bug to be squashed.

Well I always found "wiggling" usually made you unstuck after a period of time. That or waypointing

Phase retreat and the sword skill 3 tele will work too. Blink never works though if you are in an object:(

Moving this to Q&A and tagging it as [answered] as there is nothing to discuss here, as far as I can see.

Which costs precious money

The problem is, ofcourse, that not everyone is a mesmer, which made Portal all the better.
