Guild Wars 2

When shooting up on tower walls to hit players, npcs or siege the mortar shell just dissapears without any explosion or dmg. This happens most of the time, if not everytime

Just wanted to check if anyone else has experienced the same?

Yea, same thing with grenades. I wasn’t able to kill the guards above the gate with nades.

Yes, I have no idea why the projectile seems to be so awful with the tracking.

prioritize this devs it is a seriously game breaking issue for wvw engineers , its not just when shooting up it is whenever you shoot one of them specific wall parts it happens even if you’re standing on it

guessing we have to get ingame and do a bug report

So from what I’ve seen, the Motor shells just fly through the top of the wall.

So this actually causes two issues. The first issue is the obvious issue of not being able to kill cannons, oils, or anyone standing right at the edge of the wall.

The 2nd actually works in our favor. Since the Shell goes through the wall, if you aim it correctly you can actually hit players and siege that are not on the edge of the wall. I destroyed an arrow cart last night by doing this.

It is not only mortar and grenades, also toss elixirs fall trough the walls

I hope this is not intended.

Can other classes hit on top of walls (like staff eles) or is this an engi-specific issue?

I dont think it is intended, thatd be pretty weird imo.
Besides I’ve seen this bug once before! Pretty sure after some balance patch.

reverse is it also,
while standing on top of a wall, I can’t shoot down on players, the shells explode at the edge of the wall, even when standing at the edge, cant shoot down while the path is clear, they explode on top

this was an old bug that was squashed about 1.5 years ago but has returned with a zombies vengeance — its much worse now. the old bug was that “breakable walls eat explosive projectiles”. now it just seems to be all wall terrain.

Seems all beta players seems do play meta and not engis while testing

This is not a engi specific issue, as thief shortbow 2 and 4 also don’t hit enemies.
