Guild Wars 2

I’m currently trying to do the story quest for “Starving the Beast” and the cannon that you have to fire at the blight is constantly out of range and will not fire. I can only aim just before the ship and only hit the water. Help would be appreciated thank you

Pretty much the same. The Blight is untargetable, intangible.

I have the same problem. But you can do that mission. Run to the left from cannon and jump down and then to the water. Next you need to swim to the edge of mission area and attack with ranged underwater weapon. It will take some time and you will still be attacked by tendrils and undead but you can do it.
I recommend to do that in group. Should be faster and easier.

I will try that, I just hope someone can can try to find the solution so that doesnt havbe to be done

I’ve tried that method now and it hasn’t worked still looking for the solution to the cannon

Just has Malv said; it is possible to do it that way. But to get more easily into water, you can walk around the cliff, right of the cannon, and into the water, from there, get has close you can get from the ship with a range weapon. Glitchy, but possible. Good luck xRaiden and thanks Malv.

P.S. My pant’s broken from trying.

Having this same issue . . .

It’s interesting because the cannon range follows the shadow of the cliff on the water…exactly.
Clearly a bug. Hoping for a fix soon.

Glad I’m not alone.

Mind blown. Really this bug is a thing??
So rage inducing.. just increase the cannon range, how hard is it to fix this???

This work around is much better than the water glitch.
