Guild Wars 2

This appears to happen much more frequently out of water recently – the last 3-4 weeks or so – than it used to. Each time it happens it becomes increasingly frustrating. Previously I would be expecting it in an under water fight. Now it can happen almost any time

This happens to me CONSTANTLY and I’m SICK OF IT. Random invulnerability in underwater fights and terrain difference invulnerability. This is not how it’s supposed to work. It violates every instinctive notion players have of how things are supposed to work. Look, if I’m standing up on a hill or a rock then I CAN SHOOT DOWN ON YOU. End. of. story. The underwater thing had better be a bug and if the terrain one is intentional then I suggest ArenaNet seriously reconsider, because like I said this violates every instinct we have about how things should work, and you just can’t do that. You will never be “right” enough to overcome the sense of offense players will feel about something so obvious as shooting down on an enemy.

I have had this issue for monsters standing right next to me. Suddenly can’t tough them and then bam i can again.Sometimes it says obstructed and sometimes invulnerable,when neither actually should apply since im right in front of them.

If you look at TA dungeon. Those blossom get obstructed most of the time you’re trying to kill it with guns or non-AOE shot/missiles.

The spider boss sometime get obstructed as well in open room…

I don’t know what lead ArenaNet to think that damaging a monster which cannot reach you is tactically unacceptable. I don’t want to know, I just won’t agree with that. Same for the advantage of being on a hill or something. Period.

The fact is that this intentional behavior as it is actually is one of the worst implementation of that kind of anti-abuse-whatever stuffs ever. Are you aware how much it can be frustrating sometimes ?

Now please : continue on not talking about it if you wish. Keep silent… but fix it ! Make it a minimum consistent… or simply remove it. It happens too frequently to be ignored. I know it is not the lack of time, it’s just a matter of removing few lines of code dedicated to spoil the fun.

Appart from that heresy… great game !

Just to add in my 2 cents on this. It happens a lot to me while fighting underwater, the kraits I was fighting just decided to run away from the fight and turns invulnerable, this happens 2-3 times in a row and is really really annoying. Bear in mind I was in melee range, so I am not in an advantageous position where the mobs can’t hit me.

If players does not become invulnerable when we ran away, why should mobs do, they get free hits on us when we ran but when they ran they become invulnerable, doesn’t make sense. This happens on land as well, though just not as often.

I am fine with them turning invulnerable when they are in a position where the mobs are unable to hit the players. So players can’t have tactical advantage, ok fine, but it’s not fine when mobs can cheat.

Fix it or remove it, because seriously it doesn’t contribute anything to gameplay except pure annoyance.

Here is a screenshot of a griffin going invulnerable on me without a reason whatsoever- as you can see we are on same ground level and everything, guess he just got bored or something.

Went there to mine that ore, get attacked start fighting and then poof he is invulnerable… Please Fix this stuff from happening.

it happens a lot when I attack flying mobs for some reason -_-; (ranged damage only it seems, melee people can still damage that same mob for some reason XD)

UGH ME.

Thief underwater spear and sword, whenever I hit slightly above it, even though my duo-partner can continually wail on it when it’s “Invulnerable” to me. Which is interesting.

Almost as annoying as melee never hitting structures unless you constantly strafe them.

I get either obstructed or invulnerable heaps of times and I could be standing 2 feet from mobs and im rifling.
O.o

Yeah, I’ve stumbled on a lot of INVULNERABLE in Shiverpeaks… Like, ALOT on the mountains…
