Guild Wars 2

What happened with that hitbox update? It’s near impossible to destroy structures in a timely manner now.

I’m not sure if Arenanet only cares about how quickly graveling burrows get destroyed, because what ever change they did to amend that screwed up everything else.

Bandit cannon turrets? Have to walk in the cannon kittenpit itself to hit it.
That road block log Kessex Hills event? Have to climb on the log to hit it.
Ballistas in the ascalon fractal? Really hard to hit with a dagger.

It may just be my imagination, but the Sons of Svanir shelters in Wayfarers seem harder to hit as well.

They reduce the hitboxes in the december patch i believe.

Portals in maw are impossible without range.

When I do leap of faith at the structures I have tried it on, graveling mounds mostly, I jump straight up. It does not matter how far away I am the leap does not send me toward the structure.

Exactly the same on my guardian.

yeah i ran into some roadblock type structure the other day and since i run a GS/Hammer combo on my warrior i have no range.

The only thing i could find to damage it was doing the GS whirlwind attack through it and the spin with the hammer that throws enemys back.

Even the 100b attack only hit with 1 or 2 of the slashes.

Its kinda ridiculas IMO.

Yup yup, same problems as above on my Guardian as well. LoF gets me NEAR the structure, but not close enough to hit it, and trying to autoattack is a painful process of finding JUST the right spot in order to connect.

Dual swords on my asuran mesmer…. when I need to break ballistas or structures I have to switch to something ranged and then watch as the “missed” popups become “obstructed” popups…

Half the time it is simply faster to go do something else.

I had this problem with greatsword and burrows in AC when i used to play with my guardian.

Dredge cave supports, Harathi catapults, so many structures have become nearly impossible to hit with some classes.

on warrior in queensdale, hit rush at a centaur cart, ran for 5 seconds against an invisible wall, stood there dumbly holding a sword rather than slashing upward for damage.

Their should be more alliterative ways the destroy some of these types of structures. Then just hitting the with a attack.

aoe always does it for me.

Some objects have very annoying hitboxes, that’s for sure. I was doing the event in Snowden Drifts last night where you have to destroy four Corrupted Ice, and for some reason, my Mesmer’s shots were just flying right over the top of the structure. I didn’t want to get closer because that would mean aggroing a lot more Icebrood than I’d have liked, but I eventually had to do it because nothing short of wanding the structures at point blank range seemed to work.

It is annoying I agree.

One thing oddly that seems to help (doesn’t always work but you can try it, definately does not work as well as it used to) is just don’t stop moving, so either strafe side to side, or circle strafe the object. For some reason it seems to make a lot more attacks connect in melee, still some structures are still tricky to hit even then.

Yeah.

Annoying in fractals. I can’t melee the ballistas in the ascalon one. I can’t leap of faith to the ice formation in the frost fractal.

So annoying =(

I just got a new idea for a business. Frost Bow dealership….. Now I just need to hire about a thousand elementalists and set up the website where people can sign up for the service….

For those interested, I will be in Wayfarer hills offering Ice Bow services, 10s a pop. Get them while they’re cold! I also will be offering Premium Ice Bows (with 10 extra charges!) for an additional fee of 5s apiece.

You’re welcome to contact me about setting up a franchise, but my idea was clearly patented before you arrived on the scene…..

My fireballs are bigger than yours therefore I can do whatever I want. I also offer complimentary hot chocolate with my Ice Bows, hah!

Yeah. I have encountered this problem sometimes. Most recently when trying to attack the catapults with a greatsword on the way to slay the risen wizard in Orr. I finally just stepped back and switched to bow to kill it.
