Default Hey, how about fixing Obstruction?



Take a good look at that picture...let it soak in.

What more can I say really? I was right there in the Random Arenas of this map. I couldn't hit the damn thing to get my adrenaline for my hammer attacks. I was standing in that spot, chucking a spear. I couldn't hit. I even moved around a bit, still obstructed. Eventually, I switched to my hammer and mowed her down, but this just shouldn't be happening over three years into the game later, am I right?

Some may say "QQ some more" but this isn't the only time I've had "Obstruction" when there clearly isn't any. My point is, either work on the mechanism that triggers "obstruction" a little more, or do not screw this up for GW2. I will be severely disappointed.

Im with you 100%. I play a ranger main and it happens ALL the time, especially if the enemy is on a bridge, mental amount of obstruction there, even though there is none. I often run right up to them, so im right on top of them, and still obstructed

Yeah. Players should not be obstructed if there's nothing obstructing the view.

If you can see it in first person, you can hit it.

Unfortunately, this would take quite a bit of engine work, and probably won't ever happen.

Oh? I sure don't like the idea of working for gaming companies then.

/Signed regardless, especially since I primarily play Ranger in AB. I just wish my ping wasn't bad at night so I can play even the twitchy roles in GvG.

PS: I wonder why two people said "no"...

It won't happen cause when I say quite a bit, I mean they'd have to redo a grand part of it and their focus has always been THE NEXT BIG THING.

So: quite a bit means grand part of it? Brilliant!

Bridges are terrible. I don't even think you're on a bridge.

It'd be better to actually type "cry" or "whine" instead of "QQ", though.

Netspeak FTL (and yet here I am using it myself, LOL)















ON TOPIC: I agree. I remember I was playing a Ranger somewhere in Kaineng City, targeting an enemy with my arrows, and it kept saying "obstructed". It looked like to me that the area wasn't obstructed at all, and it looked like a clear line of site. Well, it came to pass that I figured out why there was obstruction: my target was right under a lip, and so, I couldn't hit him. Quite annoying, really.

Yeah, looks like you got yourself a clear line of sight. Hm. Maybe they (the Titans) have an Invisible Wall ability... Hm.
