Guild Wars 2

Can`t find the specific patch note, but I was sure it was mentioned that Cata` inside towers can no longer effect rams on the other side of the gate.

Today in Lake tower, I saw the invulnerable as would expect, but enemies on the other side can still hit us through the gate (including your bot/npc commander/dolyak).

Is this how it is meant to be, or just a partial job done on things hitting through gates?

You can still hit through gates with anything else – arrow carts, abilities that don’t need a specific target, etc. They just disabled catas working because they could burn down rams pretty fast and would interrupt the ram user casting/knockback anyone else on the other side. Think of it like you can still fire projectiles ‘over’ the gate or smack the ground behind the gate for an earthquake, but you cant throw a massive rock ‘through’ the gate. I know this logic doesn’t actually work with t3 keep gates etc, but its the best way of thinking about it i can come up with.
