What is obstructing me?
Your arrows travel where the target is expected to go. If you are, say, shooting at a jumping person and you are a fair distance away, your arrow may target the location below the ground, thus causing a miss. Here’s a fun thing to try, get a buddy and go into an empty spvp room. Instruct him to stand a decent pace away and sidestep left and right while facing you. Now using a ranger, fire your short bow. Notice that you can’t hit him at all! I haven’t tried this with all the ranged weapons on every class, but I know a short bow thief has magic arrows that track a target. It’d be something to test if I wasn’t tempbanned for saying bad words with a filtered chat. But that’s another story.
That’s not what he means yoshi, it happens in pve too, random obstructions on random things, like the nests in ascalonian catacombs. It’s a pain to range those. I’ve no idea what causes it.
He doesn’t mean the movement calculation system or however you call that in games. He simply means the obstruction bug.

While the scenarios may be different, it still stems from the fact that the arrow does not have a guaranteed chance of hitting the target. It may also be due to poor collision detection as well.
Between Miss, Obstructed and Invulnerable. Rangers seem to be blind as a bat. Not masters of nature, survival and ranged combat.
Totally agree.
Lol. If you use your ranged damage to hit a target on another platform, let’s say in a jump puzzle for arguments sake. The monster becomes immune+stands still doing nothing and you become perma combat flagged (can’t jump normally anymore), with the only option being re-logging to lose the combat flag and then once you’re re-logged you have to jump to the platform the monster is on to charge it like you’re a warrior.
It’s funny in a sad way.
it’s a bug, hopefully will be addressed in 2 week

Obstructing is mainly, I think, caused by environment bug(s). And the extremely strict obstruct mechanics.
it is some kind of bug happens for all ranged attacks no matter what class

i love how thief arrows hit the target even if hes jumping/kiting. but ranger arrows are the easiest thing in the world to dodge. hell, you can dodge arrows without even moving with all these obstructed messages that interfere with ranger play. :/
Is this happening WAY more in the past 24 hours?
As others have said its bugged…I’ve gotten it before in a perfectly open field with the only “obstruction” being some grass on the ground…
Careful Ashlotte, I said the same thing basically but with more humor and got “infracted” since the mods don’t seem to have a sense of humor. Nor the ability to piece together the fact that I was indeed contributing my opinion on the subject that a blade of grass obstructed his view. Really, grass really does obstruct you…
