Guild Wars 2

As title states, I just don’t understand how in pvp, I as a ranger can target a player from a ledge but I can’t do it in PvE to mobs, its so frustrating. Take for instance I was in Lonars Pass today trying to do the jumping puzzle. Now this is what made me just log off in disgust, I won’t go into all the ranger problems but this one just frustrates the heck out of me. So I can’t target the first Vet Imp as we all know rangers for some unknown reason can’t target a mob from a ledge, so dumb, so I jump down to the ledge to take on the first Vet Imp, but I get nothing but invulnerable invulnerable invulnerable or Obscured obscured obstructed while I have clear line of sight as it nukes me to Oblivion. Now how is it that the brain trust that is A-Net can see that this is OK, I’m on the same ledge as it but nether me nor my pet can hit it. I tried three times, and lost 5+ silver in ports and repairs, maybe you should look into this because it just feels like its broken.

Just color me frustrated and I had to come hear to vent to you all, just seems like a stupid broke design to me.

Its because some mobs cant reach you, and its to avoid exploits (shooting a vet from a safe spot he cant reach). The problem is that sometime interferes with fair gameplay. I havent found myself in that situation very often, and when it happens, I just change to my sword and attack the enemy from closer range, or just try to realign my character.

I know its frustrating, but if they havent implemented that we could use some vets as pinhata loots instead of getting a challenging fight.

That’s not the problem I really had, guess I didn’t convey it. Yes, I understand why we can’t target PvE mobs from safety, free loots all day, yeah, I know and understand that, what tic’s me off is I WAS on the same ledge as the Vet and I got invulnerable invulnerable invulnerable or Obscured with clear line of sight.

LOS is severely buggy in this game.

Rangers and now with the recent changes mesmers are howling mad over it.

It’s affecting various world v world pvp as well as causing serious pve nuisances.

I’m hoping this will be part of the announcements and open qa this monday.

Im sorry to add confusion to your initial post. I know you are frustrated and I dont want to make you feel annoyed or angry.

Lets all hope Anet can fix it soon for the sake of our keyboards, who sometimes are the victims of our frustration ( I have replaced a lot of keyboards and mouses)

The invulnerable problem isn’t isolated to rangers. Have encountered it multiple times on other professions, must recently on my engineer on the Uncategorized Fractal with harpies. Threw grenades at them, hit, then at some point they turned invulnerable. Switched to rifle. Still invulnerable. Jumped up to the same ledge, still invulnerable. Died. Happened three times during that fractal.

I have experimented with a couple other races, but I primarily play Ranger and Guardian. I can say that the invulnerable issue is MUCH more prominent with the ranger than with the others, in my own experience (both the Guardian and Ranger are Norn, so it wasn’t exactly an area issue).

Mesmer.

It’s so frustrating that these problems are still here, and seem to be getting worse rather than better.
