Guild Wars 2

It would be nice to tell how you keep doing this. Flying and standing in the air like that. I don’t play Thief so I don’t know all the cool tricks. Thanks.

I think that one is a geometry problem, not hacks.

Or a Vulture Raptor in disguise.

Hence it would be good to know how it’s done and save people the trouble of reporting.

I had a go at replicating it earlier but couldn’t do it. I think I’ve done it in the past, though.

The character in question is me.
And thats by no means black magic, cheating or whatever you may call it.

I am here to explain the matter:
What you see there is me standing on one of ArenaNets famous invisible walls. It is exactly as high as the platform next to it. To replicate me standing there, you have to own the tower. Enter the tower and stand on the octagonal platform right before the bridge which leads to the tower lord. Make sure to stand in the middle, facing north. Turn right until you face the first corner you come across. It is the first corner to the right of the flag. If you run a straight line from the center to the corner and cross it, you will not fall down. Instead you will walk right on top of that invisible wall which ArenaNet placed there to prevent people from entering the tower by climbing the lower wall.

I am not a cheater, nor is my guild supporting such behaviour. if standing on things that arent visibly there is prohibited, i am really sorry. Curious by nature i climb on stuff, and when this tower was ours i came across this, well, “phenomenon”. It cannot be abused since there is no advantage gained. You are open to fire at from all angles since that barrier doesnt block attacks.

See screenshots for further proof. And to the ArenaNet-CS-Team: please do not ban me for being a goat trapped inside an Asura. Rather please inform your map design team to slope that invisible barrier so one cannot stand atop of it.

People in my guild had a lot of strange situations lately in wvw. For some people textures like keep walls are just not there, so they can basically walk into a keep. It does not happen every time and on every wall. The strange thing is for whatever reason the problem goes away and then reappears out of a sudden. Maybe the guy in the screenshot suffers from something like that also. I have never seen something like that before and i am playing since release. For me it seem that the last “performance” patch regarding the walls in wvw did seriously break something.
