This is a very strange bug that I have never encountered before in 4 years of GW2 until today.
Please see screenshot. The map is Dragonbrand Borderlands, and this is South East Tower.
The walls on the tower did not spawn on my client, while it spawned for all other players around me. This is not a culling issue, there was a total of 4 players around that tower and the regular amount of NPCs.
I could walk right through the walls(which are not visible on my screen/screenshot), and the other players around me saw me running right through the Fortified walls while they were catapulting it. I could also attack the npcs while inside, and they would attack me back, but if I moved back through the wall, they would just get stuck where the wall would be(hitting an obstacle). So this rules out lag, as there was no rubberbanding and there was communication to the server.
I could not go up to the Lord of that tower, as you can see from the screenshot there is no stairs to go up…the stairs did not spawn.
This is not an exploit. I do not know how to replicate this(nor would I tell anyone if I knew). This is just a bug report on a somewhat game-breaking issue.
This might be related to the last feature patch where Arenanet decided to make WvW walls more “visible”(more like now invisible and intangible…), as I do not WvW often enough other than doing dailies to have noticed something like this before.
I think this bug needs attention and FIX URGENTLY. I am not hacking and people are thinking I used some kind of hacks to do this and are likely to report me. Moreover, I cannot tell whether I am walking through a wall or not(so as not to exploit it) because
OMG THE WALL IS INVISIBLE!. How would I know if there is an unbroken wall there?
Edit for additional info:
I could not click-target the wall, but if my friend called the wall as target and I press T, I get to see the wall’s HP bar while still walking right through it.
