Guild Wars 2

We were just trying to take a tower (Sunnyhill in green borderlands, match RoF/FS/UW) and used 2 golems to break the gate, but we couldnt hit the gate at all – a ram actually did. Was that included in the latest patch?

If golems couldn’t hit gates they would be useless.

Indeed, they were useless, we couldn’t hit the gate at all (as stated before).

This is going to sound like a stupid post, but if it’s a bug report you’re trying to work out, then we’ll need more details. Without a boatload of details to try to reproduce the circumstances, just saying something happened is useless.

Were there any enemies in the tower? What kind of golems did you use? What level of upgrades did the tower have? How close were the golems to the gate? Which skills were you using? etc

It could be a legitimate issue or it could boil down to user error, and we won’t be sure without details.

Ok, here we go: there were no enemies except the NPC, we used alpha golems, we tried any range and both attack skills (1 and 2), in any case it said it missed the target. So before i file a bug report, i’d like to know if someone else experienced the issue. (I’m sure we know how to use golems tho… ;D)

Sunnyhill’s gate’s hitbox has always been buggy. You have to position your golems on the sides of the gate to have a chance of hitting it. Either right or left side works.

regular melee attacks also didnt hit the gate during that siege

If that’s true then it’s not a golem issue.

It’s just Sunnyhill, we had 3 golems on it and nothing…but we took every other gate down on the map. We had to use rams to kill sunnyhill gate, I do not recall auto attacks being ineffective…not ranged at least

We also had this problem a while ago. Built 3+ golems in an attempt to sneak cap Sunnyhill. Well…couldn’t damage the door even a bit and had to retreat when the enemy zerg arrived.

I noticed this tonight, but personally I FEEL that what changed is you need to target the wall or be closer than before.

That may not be the issue with you, because we used 4 golems on bay tonight and I wasn’t hitting with the first ability until I was on top of the gate. In the past, I think I was a step or two out and still hit it.

I had the same with a ram on a tower too, i was builing it up and wanted to hit the gate.. but nothing happend!

Then someone in the tower said to me " What are you doing? "

I finished my vodka and was ohh.. its our own tower.

Maybe that happend to your golem attack too! Attacking 1 of your own structures!?

lol… but no. The rams did damage and finally broke the gate.
So it’s a Sunnyhill (or however that tower is called on the other maps) isssue… thanks for all the replies!
