Guild Wars 2

It has happened over a dozen times for me now: I will try to place a ground-target skill on the ground, and it will end up being cast onto air somewhere above, essentially wasting the skill use on nothing. That can be annoying in a fight for some AOE damage/support skill, but more egregious is it also causes me to leap usually towards the screen with a ground-target leap like with Wings of Resolve, as if I placed the reticule between the character and the bottom of the screen, instead of where I actually placed the reticule, usually between the character and the top of the screen.

It is almost as if some invisible layer somewhere above the ground can sometimes be targeted.

It seems to happen most often on the desert borderland, but I am pretty sure it is happening on all maps. One place I can definitely remember it happening is in the lord’s room of the fire keep within the capture circle.

Edit: addition: this has only started happening since the 2017 August 8 patch.
