When is the LoS fix for AC’s coming does anyone know?

That is rediculous, they need to fix that asap (the patch notes said they did something about it, but I guess not). I don’t know if they will do a fix for it in the near future, but since it seems someone is working on it, the possibility of it coming is much more optimistic.

That is freakin’ nuts. I’ve been saying that too. Your pic is outrageous with full red aoe circles on the lord with ACs outside the keep.

This one is at our Garrison east wall with no breach, look at those circles.

If you would read the threads with this topic as the thread title, that is flagged with dev responses, you might have your answer, and not clutter the subforum with repeat discussions.

And if you could actually post something useful and not clutter the thread with pointless accusations…

An upcoming patch will contain changes to how line of sight is calculate for arrow carts. Some of the arrow cart skills ignored line of sight and the rest were too forgiving with their line of sight calculations. Both of these issues allowed players with modified cameras to shoot an arrow cart from behind walls to locations they shouldn’t have even been able to see, much less fire at. In the future arrow cart skills will use a special type of line of sight checking specifically designed to reduce this problem while still making the allowed target areas feel reasonable.

I read it was fixed, forgive me for wanting a short quick answer in my haste of posting pics, defending keep and not having time to read every single post in a thread after it was stated it was supposed to be fixed.

Now that I’ve finished work and enjoying a coffee I have the time to search forums further for this.

The change I mentioned previously is multi-part. The change that makes all arrow carts use line-of-sight did indeed go out today, but the second part about the arrow cart line-of-sight checks being too forgiving was not part of today’s build. The changes to the way arrow cart line-of-sight is calculated is set for an upcoming patch.

Which to me indicates they tried to fix it, but something has gone wrong with coding so they are working on a fix for it again.

I think it was supposed to be implemented in stages to begin with, and not so much a case of something having gone wrong. I just wish they’d hurry up with it, but then again, as a WvW player I’ve grown accustomed to waiting endlessly.

easy fix (for now) is if they designate non-deployable area for AC on the map, at least certain distance away from the tower/keep/castle, so that AC can reach only the top of the wall, not any further….

Naw. They were fixing the arrows-through-walls part in the first patch and then addressing the LOS issues and how far it could reach in a subsequent, and pending, patch. Two-part fix.
