Bug or Intended? - Catapult Splash through doors?
This is a common defense tactic that has been known for a while. Most AOE skills also ignore the door. I never stand on a wall anymore in a keep or tower defense. My warrior equips a long bow, stands behind the gate, and racks up the kills.
“Did you see that? Tell me you saw that!”
Everything goes through the door, even melee swings.
Which is why playing a Guardian in WvW is so frustrating
Unavoidable artifact with the engine. Not intended, but known. kitteny.
Its kinda unfair. Rams stand no chance, that was a base level keep with basically no D. Thoes people on wall are about as dangerous as a vetern archer with a wet noodle.
If i had reinforced doors, a imp. catapault, and maybe some repairing that door isnt going down.
Extend ram range. Sure it will look a bit funny but if you let rams be set outside of aoe splash range this problem goes away. You can already aim oil so just make sure it accounts for the new ram placement and that should be a quick fix.
I hope it’s unintended and ought to be fixed. It’s silly that I can sit behind the door and lob grenades at it to damage rams or players.
