Guild Wars 2

I’m confused on the functionality of the new AC LoS. It initially looked like it took a nerf, now requiring LoS for anything you want to hit. I have noticed that if there’s a pillar or something like that between me and my target, it won’t let me hit because of no line of site (doesn’t matter if I can turn my camera around to see). That first seemed understandable to me and it appeared that LoS functions just like anything else now. What confused me is that I got on an AC on a tower placed up top and towards the back (to make it harder to hit). I thought that the LoS nerf would make it no longer able to hit right in front of the gate because of how far back it was and the fact I didn’t really have line of sight since I really had to do some camera angle changing to see it. It still let me hit just like it did before the LoS “nerf” which was unexpected and felt inconsistent with the other situation with the pillar. I then got off the AC but stood right on top of it to see if I could place my fire field in front of the gate and in fact it said “No line of site” from the exact same spot my AC could still hit. I had to move very far forward for my fire field to actually be able to be dropped in front of the gate.

I know anet didn’t really say anything about the LoS and it kind of randomly just changed. I’m confused if this is glitched or somehow in any possible way working as intended.

Update

It appears that this was changed.

There was a brief period of time (starting about a week or two ago) in which AC’s required LoS to hit that was unannounced by ArenaNet and probably unintended. After testing just now, AC’s do not require LoS anymore just like they used to. As for the period of time in which they all of a sudden required LoS, I’m guessing that was a glitch that has now been fixed.
