Guild Wars 2

so anet said that they will be fixing the steal bug .
so things don’t get in the way of steal anymore

will this have any effect on the way shadow trap works ?
will this bug fix make it so shadow trap does not clip on every lil tree bush and hill ?

Wait, where did they say this? That would be magnificent.

i heard it on the live stream a lil while ago the devs said they will fix the steal bug

they didn’t really go in to detail but they did mention it
idk may just need to wait and see to test this one
would be nice if it fixed the problem with shadow trap to

If between you and your enemy is a wall, then you won’t receive an item by shadowstepping to them and stealing. After patch, you will receive an item even if there is a wall on your way, and traits like mug will work aswell (hopefully).

This is the only thing getting fixed. This wasn’t even a bug, the “obstructed steal” was coded on purpose, and now is being reverted – it wasn’t always like that.

What’s happening now with the bug is that, when I use steal, I get an item and mug dealt damage but I’m still standing where I trigger the skill — then the server misplaces me making all of my skills have a distance check error (i.e. target too far, you need to face the target, etc). That’s really frustrating when you pre-cast CnD and never get teleported.

ok so it will only affect steal :S
i was hoping it would clear up all shadow steps

well ty for the reply
