Guild Wars 2

Please for the love of Dwayna look into the path issues plaguing this game. I’ve played this game long enough to realize when I’ll be wasting effort due to line of sight and adjust accordingly. I’ve noticed recently that even slight elevations are resulting in “obstructed” or “out of range” popups and personally it’s driving me crazy.

The area south of Bay near the sentry and griffons is so bad with this. I can see the top of the mound, it’s maybe 2 feet high and I see no reason why I can’t throw my static field on it. I’m chasing someone down some stairs and I’m being obstructed. My guildmate tosses bolas at a guy 5 feet away and is obstructed. Please fix this.

Pang supply camp has this issue too, as I’m sure many other areas do; but it’s really pretty bad at pang!

Many spots on ABL causes to be obstructed, even when you hug a player/npc you get to see this.

That is one of the reasons those terible maps were removed first place.

It’s not specific to the Alpine maps… Desert and EB have similar issues.

I don’t remember this being such an issue on Alpine BL before, most of my best fights have been on this map. I’m not quite sure when it changed but I do remember there were line of sight adjustments made some time ago. It was still fun roaming on Alpine though it was peppered with rage sessions about HoT class design choices and well "obstructed, obstructed, obstructed ". Mostly the line of sight issues. >.>

Yes with HoT we had a lot of LOS change.
ABL was not designed with those change in mind.

They just need to adapt those thing.

Now that we have some dev who listen about WvW concern they will probably fix that. Continu to report issue and give the time to work on all those thing.

No actually it was not. At least I never ran into this issue on the new BL’s…

You must have gotten lucky then, I regularly got the obstructed message when fighting, especially around the southwest and southeast ends of the map and around the top right shrine.

Probably was luck, but yea, the only time I remember being “obstructed” was when I believe it was rightfully so (I was obstructed)…
