sPvP Build – WvW Build
Tarnished Coast Server- Anthrage Stormrider on Youtube
Today I encountered this – being attacked by someone under the terrain with a harpoon, in spots that were clearly not valid for such an attack or player presence. I did a search but didn’t find any mention of this previously, but it may be a known issue.
Has anyone seen this before?
I once got bugged into the terrain in AC dungeon (quite some time ago) while fighting the burrows, which made me go underground (which somehow is underwater) and could still shoot at the burrows with a ranged aquatic weap. but was far less damage which ended up with our party wiping.
Im assuming this is a similar bug..
Speaking as someone who has clipped under most maps, the majority of them have a ‘sea’ of water underneath. From this you can use underwater skills to damage foes above the land. I am yet to find a way to clip under a WvW map reliably – and I’m not actively seeking this. What looks like happened here is someone unintentionally clipped under the map and fell into the ‘sea’ of water, where they could damage you.
Yeah happened to me too, a Mesmer ported me out.
This is not new. The player is simply under the map. It is also not a hack.
Happened with my mesmer few times, but I have never been able to attack under terrain (tried only in PvE) – Obstructed always. Some of those attacks pass through walls that would normally obstruct any attack, but it could just be bugged behavior. Nevertheless, it is a clear exploit, intentionally done or bugged.

There are ways to get underneath the map with intention, and this has been abused before to infiltrate keeps. This is not an hack, this is a exploit.
Despite these being reported to Anet before, they still have not been fixed.
Not new, stuff like this has been in the game since launch.

I shed a tear every time someone says that about a glitch that can be duplicated and has been reported dozens of times.

I was fighting in a camp once and found myself under the map in a large sea. I did explore for awhile but could not hit anything on the other side without getting the “obstructed” message. In fact swimming in the “sea” up to the lake was weird. I could see the krait directly ahead of me but could not do anything to them. I finally ported out out of boredom.
Farming bots had a period of using the underground swimming exploit to attack mobs without getting damage in return. I ran into them near the aldons tower in WvW eternal battlegrounds, moving as a large group under the earth and briefly popping up to get loot.
Back then, I made a point of blasting them with AOE, which seemed to be the only way to target them.
