Sleepwalker.1398 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Dear Anet,Not sure if its this update or something but Ranger Longbow skill 5 LoS is broken.There is a server exploiting this which i don't want to name.We have tested this and can confirm that a ranger from outside the wall can use "barrage" and it will hit siege on top of Supply Depot in towers.On top of wall is fine but this should not be happening where arrows reaching on top of supply depot and taking out defence siege. Los is broken.I have sent an ingame bug report as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherbliss.4701 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Confirmed. It was basically acting like a mobile Arrow Cart for rangers. Needs no Line of Sight and can hit we are guessing at 3,000 range. This also works in combat. I tested it at Aldons, a player could still hit me on the steps to the Lord's room.

Ray Koopa.2354 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 O.o I thought this was intended. Well here i go getting punished for using that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon.1850 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That is a change that finally makes ranger useful in WvW, and judging from the patch note that went with the change, probably intended."May 08, 2018Fixed a bug that prevented this skill from being targeted in certain areas blocked by line of sight."

Engis could have a valid argument regarding this as well.Engi elite "Mortar" can aim on top of Supply Depot as well but is blocked by the LoS.

Sleepwalker.1398 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Sorry to bring this up again.I was sure to get a screenshot this time.The ranger is near the gate at Mendons and hitting up to this area.http://oi67.tinypic.com/2l8dxg5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge shot Grif.6450 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It's not a bug as it was actually bugged before with it needing LoS, I remember patch notes that even said that. It makes sense since you're shooting arrows in a giant arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Barrage was not intended to really need line of sight to fire; in essence making it work similar to that of Arrow-carts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
