Earning the Time Portal

And the badge at Ouroboros is at the top of the gnomon if you are ported there. Just fly, jump or simply run up the cable to the top.

The heroside Science origin store mission grants it too.


My level 50 Science character had it as soon as it went live. Took me months to figure out how he ended up with it and none of my other characters did.

Opening the portal also interrupts any powers in progress around you. It's a right pain when I'm trying to use my Mission TP and some cad keeps dropping the orange rings o' time

OPENING the portal doesn't interrupt long-cast powers. The portal DESPAWNING is what interrupts. If you see someone activating a long-cast power, do not step through your portal and make it despawn. It's just common courtesy.

I didn't know this. I'll keep it in mind for the future however.

The common terminology I've seen for it is O-portal; and it's been so long since I've done anything other than have a friend drop one that I didn't even remember what the arcs were that granted it.

There was, and maybe still is, an interesting bug with the O-portal... very rarely someone else using your portal can cause it to despawn. I've seen it happen twice to my portal and I've "stolen" someone else's a couple of times as well. The interesting thing was one TF where 2 out of 3 times when I used a buddy's portal it despawned when I went through leaving him to hoof it the hard way to the mission. I've no idea if that bug still exists... the last time I encountered it was shortly before issue 17 went live.

One way to get around this is to have two people open up portals and each use the other one's portal. That way others in the team can also use them and the chance of the spawner being left behind is reduced

I find if I'm on a character who doesn't have an Ouroboros Portal, broadcasting in a populated zone asking if anyone can drop one has always worked very quickly. Or a badge channel.

This isn't exactly a helpful way to get your own portal, but one of the more obscure ways to earn it is to have a really old character who logged in during the first and second anniversaries. That awarded the '5th Columnist' gladiator, which unlocks the portal. I have a level 1 character on test who lives in the tutorial who has one through that method.

at 25, ask someone to drop the portal via broadcast. Then after entering ask someone to show u where it is. Its High up, Im sure someone will be willing to let u follow them to it.

, any time travel badge will work - so if you get up to 40+ without it, you can grab any of the explores in recluse's victory. Or cimmerora after 35.

As soon as you zone out, your portal disappears, It doesn't matter if you use your own or someone elses. the spawner will never get left behind unless he decides to leave the area, it won't close until you go through it, or the timer on it runs out.

I had a very old blaster at 16 when I noticed he had the "entrusted with the secret" badge, but I have no idea how he got it. Perhaps I should comb through the contacts he's worked.

Perhaps.
Or, if he's really old, he may have the 1st and 2nd anniversary badges which awards the Fifth Column gladiator - that gives the 'Entrusted' badge also.
