Guild Wars 2

They only fix stuff that’s actually broken, like the name of Guard Leech.

Yes, working as intended. Think of it this way, you are magically resurrecting someone to begin with. I don’t think a couple inch thick piece of wood is going to stop you.

Tbh that is generally frowned upon in the WvW community. But if you see a dead mesmer near a gate just sit on them until the release.

I would consider it bug exploitation, hopefully anet does too. But if you see that happen you can try dropping a print on top of them to block the resurrection (does not always work but makes it harder) or have call on map chat for help and have 3 guys ready to drop the mes again as soon as he gets up. Trait on offensive lines while you wait for him to rev

To me this is game engine thing, same thing when you can send pets or AoE attacks through a gate. It is highly unlikely that it will get “fixed” because performance would probably suffer by such enabling more precise collision detection for area effects.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the last we heard on the issue…

It is definitely not intentional and we are looking into it.

It’s an exploit, screen shot or video capture and send in a ticket. It is a banable offense, though it usually takes a while for the ban to happen.

Well thats about right when it comes to wvw bugs. Reported a year ago and no fix. It is a limited problem but annoying when no progress has been made to fix it.

… about a year ago.

I think it’s safe to say that they don’t care.

Should I screen shot every time I get attacked on the inside by a Mesmer phantasm too? Or… dragon’s tooth or Guardians staff or Engi flame thrower or etc, etc, etc….. You should get the point that gates are not solid by any means. The only thing they stop is you from physically walking in and physical projectiles. Everything else passes right thru them.

To be honest, if I had a magical portal to walk thru, I would have bricked up the gates long ago. Why wooden gates even exists is beyond me.

You pretty much summed up the issue and completely destroyed my suspension of disbelief, thanks a lot!

To me this is like swimming up waterfalls in Age of Conan, or LoS limitations in DAoC… some things are built in to the game and difficult, if not impossible, to fix.

There is a certain logic to these “glitches”. They have a consistency of logic: area effect type spells can pass through destructible barriers.
