Guild Wars 2

Hey folks,

I keep wondering why people can avoid jumping down buildings, or vantage points to stomp. Stomping should require you to be within actual range of your foe, otherwise you can’t stomp, right?

Currently I do not know the range, but it seems unrealistic and goofy to be stomped from fifteen feet away, for example on the ground beneath the clocktower of Battle of Kyhlo (definitely not the only map where this “bug” occurs), from someone far above, not even in sight.

You have probably noticed that stomping someone who is beneath you works, no matter the distance. Often I see people stomping others from quite far away horizontically as well (around 8 feet).

I keep wondering if this is intentional or not. For me it breaks immersion, seems silly and can be upsetting, as tactically luring people away from a spot, or simply trying to hide, is rendered meaningless, because of an exploit/flaw.

Could you tell me whether this was intended or not, or if you would want to make it realistic in the future? Adding a radius from where stomping works would be sweet.

Thanks
