I most certainly hope this isn’t an intended change… I, as many others, have gotten used to using this a lot and changing it without even announcing anything about it is a real game changer for people like me, I’m sure. Now let’s just hope they revert it back asap.
Well, what if the previous behavior (one that it would target enemies behind you) were the real bug and not this one now? As long no official responses are given one can only suppose or guess which one was the intended.
Shadow, thanks for the info!
And, yeah, I know it’s flipped-flopped a few times.
You know, I think it was nice to be able to have a sonar type of targeting skill. And, yes, yes… perhaps it was a bit over the top.
I get that. But I would like for Anet to put such changes, if intended, into the kitten release notes! This way there is no speculation as to whether a skill has changed by design or if it’s a bug… or if it’s a combination of both (bug and design) that has a skill in its current state, i.e. – the whole stealth/reveal thing seems to be a little of both.
In short, if a skill has changed by design, put it into the notes. If it’s a bug, it would be beneficial to all if Anet would come to the thread that’s talking about the bug and at least comment on it, like with the stealth/reveal issue.
You are welcome. And yeah, I can’t agree more. Changes like that should be on patch notes indeed but the same thing happened when that behavior was changed (when it started targeting enemies out of view): nothing on patch notes as far as I recall. Even in this case, I’m not so sure what was the real and original intended behavior: if targeting being able or not to target enemies out of view; but what I’m sure is that it has hardly worked properly in both behaviors, that thread is there to confirm it.
