Reincarnated.1754 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) How come I can be pulled OVER a wall, but I cant use my skills over the wall? Come to think of it walk through a wall?

psizone.8437 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Line of sight has always been buggy in this game. Like you said, aoe skills from on walls that require you to be hanging off the edge. Behind a wall and still get pulled somehow. Trying to shoot an enemy 4 feet away from you? Oh no, there's a tiny bump on the ground that blocks line of sight somehow. Even shadowstepping gets a bit funky with the terrain. One day they'll fix these thing, if we're lucky. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where every blade of grass leaves you with combat that is you get hit by everything, but all your ranged attacks say obstructed. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coro.3176 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Funniest one I've seen was getting hit by spellbreaker tether, killing the spellbreaker on top of a wall. I'm still tethered to their corpse. Spellbreaker respawns. Yanks me off the wall. 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gahagan.4302 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Responding seriously, it's very likely this was Greatsword 5 from a Reaper. The claw is able to travel up terrain, like walls, and then pulls backwards towards the Reaper in a straight line. It works differently from other pull utilities like DH F1 and Engi Magnet, which require direct line of sight. Mesmer Focus 4 and Firebrand Justice 3 can get you if you're on the edge of a wall, but GS5 can get you in some places that may look very safe otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepoolpe.9217 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Only 2 pulls can reach you when you are up a wall without LoS: Mesmer's focus pull, which has a spherical AoE unaffected by obstacle (think of it as a small temporary black hole), and you get yanked above the wall because Anet physics. Reaper's GS#5, which does not travel in a straight line but slide on all surfaces, whatever the direction and mass pull (so no need for being targeted, just need to be in the area of effect and be counted as one of the 5 targets it can pull), and you get yanked above the wall because Anet physics. so the problem is not so much pulls than Anet's physics. Also LoS has always been broken. For exemple go in Vale, on one side of the area where the guard are, target a guard/lord on the other side of that area and try to use ranged skills: half of the time you'll have LoS issues. Or tower guards than can pewpew you from walls but you can't because LoS, or oil that are resting on the wall's edge but that you cannot pewpew from certains angles because LoS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatsnjuices.1698 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Kinda like every camp and some other places have no line of sight when npc's or players are clearly open. Just gotta push the I believe button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reincarnated.1754 Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Just notice they can use it behind a gate now. Just pull people inside a tower up to the inside of the gate and kill them from the outside. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Mesmer with his gravity-well was nearby. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
