Guild Wars 2

I never noticed this before until I was playing this weekend, but there was a zerg hitting one of our towers and I used an arrow cart to fire at the enemies setting up rams on our gate. Every time I fired, I was taking massive damage not on my own character but on the arrow cart. It eventually died from self damage. Is this new?

Retaliation originally affected siege equipment, but it was made immune quite a while ago.

As far as I know, it used to be a thing, but they eventually removed it. It could be someone actually hitting the AC with AoE or something….

Every time I fired into the zerg, I saw red damage numbers come up on me and I thought I was dying so I got off the arrow cart to heal myself but I was full hp. There was no AOE or red circles.

Probably the bugged spatial surge. It likes to kill all sorts of random siege in a 3 mile radius.

Retaliation use to affect all siege equipment, but was nurfed about amonth or two after the game went live because people would stack for AoE Retaliation and screw over both siege and defending players.

It might of been splash damage from people trying to hit you, or other siege equipment or one of them few skills that certain classes have that have no LoS and can hit siege.
