Guild Wars 2

Is this a new bug/feature as I don’t remember anything about it in patch notes?

Siege when fired and then left, before the projectile hits it’s objective do not do damage. But the projectile continues on it’s merry way and explodes. Seems like a clunky feature so thinking this is a bug?

If your going to make this a feature then remove the projectile once the siege has been left, but I think it should be put back how it was. I mean why would a great bit stone flying through the air suddenly do no damage because the catapult operator has left his siege while the stone was in flight?

I should add this becomes especially annoying when you are alone, manning siege and trying to hit something out of your direct line of sight. Which happens more than I thought.

I haven’t noticed this yet but “lower” cannon on south hills won’t hit stairs anymore. As if there is an invisible wall blocking the shots.

Yes, that cannon is useless now. Shots hit that invisible wall.

You have to be actively using the siege to see the damage numbers. It still hits, still does damage, you just aren’t seeing the numbers because you’ve jumped off too quickly.

I don’t think that’s right. Try using a sup cata on a paper structure, you can visibly see the walls “health” drop with each hit. If you jump off before the projectile hits it doesn’t take damage.
This changed before HoT so it’s been awhile.

Hrm, I will have to go experiment. I hadn’t noticed this, maybe it’s assuming you’re cancelling action?

Possibly. I just remember being pretty annoyed when it happened lol. I noticed it because I’d be trying to ninja bay or hills and I’d always jump off the cata when the last shot was still in the air to get inside as quickly as possible, then one day those last shots stopped doing damage.

i noticed this too, even before…
however, If you jump back in the cata before the rock hits the wall, the damage will be dealt
