Guild Wars 2

Ive noticed for the past couple of weeks that a single shot of my rifle yields an ‘obstructed’ note above the mob im trying to kill. Ive only noticed this against boss mobs, and the boss isnt blocking during this single shot because ive noticed this issue middle of the way through Volley(skill 3) which shoots five shots in rapid succession.

Im not sure whether the bug is the fact im doing no damage for that single shot or the fact its showing ‘obstructed’ despite me doing damage. Its only one single shot out of about 25+ hits so its not a huge problem, just thought id report it.

Yes please don’t let this topic die,This really needs to be adressed.It happens way to often,also in wvwvw where it can be really frustrating losing killshot to something obstructed ( when on flat ground ).Also alot of times my target is out of range..when he is certainly Not.Sometimes i shoot my target and no dmg is being seen At all,no message that he is either out of range,or being obstructed.Not sure what’s happening or why it is.

I’ve had this problem myself, though mostly in WvW for some reason. This has also happens with pistol shots for my engineer very often. Extremely frustrating when chasing down a player!

I’d like to stress that in these cases, there is nothing obstructing me at all. I’ve had it happen a lot just to the west of the center castle in eternal battlegrounds while chasing players down the hill. It will say “obstructed” even though I’m clearly making a straight shot down an incline.

I get this as well.
I’ve also noticed that if the target changes direction and the shot missed, it sometimes appears as either ‘obstructed’ or ‘out of range’

Yes I had this against a boss, nothing was in the way other than other players. Obstruction occurs to much in WvW with the edge of the keeps as well, if I can see the top of the players body my shots should not be obstructed.
