Guild Wars 2

Before the AoE of the mortar kit was able to damage people on walls like other AoE’s can. However it seems now this isn’t possible.

Sometimes the projectiles themselves seem to pass into the wall and don’t leave any combo fields on the wall or anything.

A few walls seem to work fine and normal, but nearly all of them where you would usually use these skills on(Above gates, next to cannons or NPCs) seem to not be working properly. Other classes can still do it, like Ele’s AoE’s or Necro wells, but the mortar kit seems unable to do this.

Also sometimes while fighting a keep/tower lord as it bugs out of the lords room, it will not take damage from the mortar at all, even though I’m firing onto the top of the surface where it is standing. Also sometimes, odd small amounts of damage(40 instead of the usual 100-ish) will be proccing off inside the walls on multiple things.

So I’m getting back into GW2 and WvW after being away for a year and half.
I’m an SoR refugee who’s looking to get back into the action, but unsure about the current state of things.
I’ve done some digging and kinda sitting around two choices atm, but am open to suggestions:
TC or FA.
Been trying to transfer to TC for a few days now and the fullness of it is astounding and makes me want to cry and give up all hope(even with an autoclicker on).
Heard rumours FA will be shooting up in Tier 1, but also just wanted to know if T2 has got a decent EU timezone scene for WvW?

Suggestions/advice/rude remarks?
