Guild Wars 2

could you always go up and down cliffs and across gaps? Im pretty sure I want able to. … I Can now though if it was changed.

What do you mean? U still cant use it to move across gaps and up and down cliffs. I hope they have an intention to fix this.

Infiltrator Arrow is a little inconsistent in that regard.

Generally speaking it can go up slight elevations and small hills, but only if you could walk up them as well.

As for crossing gaps, I’ve done this a few times, but it rarely works. There seem to be some exceptions where it does work, especially with smaller gaps.

It does work with crossing gaps – very rarely. I hope they fix it to work all the time along with all shadowsteps.

Where the arrow is able to land, you should be able to follow.

You can teleport only there, where you can walk by foot, but without jumping or falling – even from very small height, like a pile of boxes.

I personally think they need to increase the range and fix the issues with crossing gaps. Wasn’t it much longer range in beta at one point?

I would LOVE if you were able to shadow step or Infiltrator’s Arrow across gaps. +1 thread.

It depends on if it’s one “terrain block”, or multiple ones, since shadowsteps can’t cross the nearly invisible transitions of the terrain.

If you play with your camera enough, you can “glitch out” one layer of terrain blocks, leaving a crater landscape. That are basically the invisible walls you hit when shadow stepping.

The only time I’ve ever been able to cross a gap is across the gap where the bridge is in divinity’s reach near the minister’s waypoint

The general rule is, if you can see it, and you COULD walk to it, then you can arrow there. You can cross gaps with IA as long as there exists a (somewhat shortish) path around the gap that you could have taken.

I agree it feels useless and very limited without the ability to climb elevations you could climb to normally, or cross gaps. If an engie’s rifle can do it we should too!

^^^^^ This this this!!!

Not much “infiltration” over the “Infiltrators Arrow” atm.

Hmm this is weird when I posted this I noticed something the IA that made me start experimenting with it. I was able to cross gaps, use it to go up steep mountains, down mountains… It was amazing. I left that zone and haven’t been able to replicate it since… Idk it was weird. The gap crossing was from 1 hill to another though… It was great, I assumed they fixed it when they changed Heartseeker, by after trying to replicate the effects again today I wasn’t able to.

Always assumed it was made the way it was made to avoid players “breaking out” of the box the level designer has place upon the player.

We could go everywhere unintended if we would just teleport to where to arrow landed.

It’s always been amazing since BW1.

I thought it was meant to do that so people can’t cheat jumping puzzles.

They changed heartseeker? What did they do to heartseeker?

They nerfed it. Nerfed the damage in different ranges.
