Guild Wars 2

I noticed sometimes arrows of rangers are obstructed by grass in wvw, can this be fixed?

Arcing arrows was possible in the first Guild Wars.

Warriors can Arcing Arrows.

There are so many random obstructions in WvW lol.

Welcome to what thieves have dealt with forever

It’s worse when it’s the ranger’s pet triggering the “obstructed.”

I think it was made much worse whenever they tried to fix rev hammer 2’s going through walls, castles, your computer screen, etc….
which is kinda back, btw (at least the walls part) yet random obstructions haven’t been fixed
In this case, having a little high ground is beneficial over your opponent (unlike walls which actually put you at a disadvantage over your opponent)

it seems most updates appear to follow this order:
add stuff you don’t care about or play
add gemstore items so you can match the stuff you don’t play
add a bug
fix the bug but add two more that are worse
ignore those two
rinse/repeat

I think the whole line of sight and obstruction mechanic really needs work.In WvW ,theirs only a very very small sweet spot to even target veteran archers on walls with a long bow ,switch to staff and your obstructed again .Yet one can clearly see through line of sight a wider area to target.Or your standing right next to a target and it comes up obstructed.Can’t target a soul with Path of scars to make a pull but can be pulled by spectral grasp while standing at the back of the wall.I could go on .Seriously the issue needs to be looked at for all classes but I really don’t expect much.

Soloing a camp the other day on my thief playing d/p (nc) I was in melee range of an npc who used their heal skills so I used head shot to interupt it, only to have red writing saying (obstructrd)… how does that even work?

I often find a candywrap between me and my target causing my arrows to be obstructed. kitten ed kids, clean up your garbage already.

The other thing I hate with Ranger in WvW, is that piercing doesn’t work.
Is this a bug or a nerf?

I thought maybe it was when read the wind was made baseline but I cant recall it being so horrible.

You could also be any asura trying to use any projectile.

Very annoying when firing an Unload into a camp supervisor while standing right next to them and see the Obstructed message fly up.

Things I find obstructing my projectiles:
- Random invisible wall on flat ground.
- Dead npc bodies in a supply camp (my projectiles just disappear without saying obstructed, my DH symbol from longbow creates a symbol where an npc body used to be even though the body is already gone).
- Friendly ranger’s pet. No jokes, I was on my staff ele using air autoattack (it bounces between targets) when a ranger’s pet got in between me and the npc and my attack just bounces off the pet into the air without hitting the npc.

Has nothing to do with rangers. It’s a general issue. You could be right next to something and can’t hit it.
