Guild Wars 2

Getting this message, primarily in WvW, on flat ground, constantly lately. When using my Ranger or Necromancer I’ll need to be basically right on top of my target for projectiles to not get the “obstructed” message and it’s incredibly frustrating.

Well we may be obstructed by blades of grass and the air but thankfully we can still shoot through tower walls.

Something is definitely wrong with the LOS…

I was in Ogrewatch getting shot through the walls by a Ranger like 5min ago… But like you said, air and a blade of grass will obstruct you on flat ground. I knew I wasn’t imagining things.

In a camp on flat ground trying to hit the last vet that I could’ve killed if it weren’t for OBSTRUCTED OBSTRUCTED OBSTUCTED. Not even kidding I strafed to the right to get into a supposedly better position and it was too late.

I hate it.

Even stuff like teleports that are supposed to tele you to the target or wherever you originally had the cursor down to go and yet…. It teleports you literally a STEP closer or better still, doesn’t even work yet puts that whole skill on CD. Jeeze.

Can confirm this on my ele, issue appeared with HoT. Any ground targeted spell it’s affected by this, even tho the overlay shows green you get target is not in line of sight error message.
From what I noticed, if the center of the overlay is a little behind than the very top of the target you get this message, so have to put all the ground targeted spells a little towards the front of the target.

I’m having this issue with the octovine fights. Didn’t really find a pattern yet, but it happened reliably with the east gate fight yesterday where you fly and drop the bombs. No matter where I positioned myself, on front, on the side, some meters away, right inside the darn thing, I always got “obstructed” and zero dmg values. On a Mesmer. Interestingly my phantasms activated and they did hit the target.

Maybe you were standing in an area of particularly hard air.

And be glad you’re not a Juvenile Bristleback…

Same with blink or lightning flash…. I have my ground target at max range, flat land ahead, it’s green (good to go!) and… Nope, try again. Either the range indicator is off or they are being extremely picky about what you can blink over. This is happening all over the place in PvE.

Slightly different issue for me: the green target for placing skills remains green out of range a lot of times, so I keep getting “Out of range!” messages. The target will turn red after one fail, but it comes back frequently.
