Cirrion.8951 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Rifle as a weapon seems to have some potential in WvW, but this obstructed bug is seriously holding it back. Far too many kneeling shots that clearly have good LoS are not getting through because of this. Clearly minor terrain variations or slight slopes are causing problems for kneeling LoS checks; they need to use the same checks that they do for the standing shots as they do for kneeling. As it is I've basically abandoned Rifle because it is so unreliable. Is anyone else having issues with this? Is this happening in other game modes as well?

Saraneth.6021 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 LOS issues have been plaguing the game since release. I don't think they know how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardguard.2860 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 That might be why i considered the thief spec to be kinda weak. I guess i have to try this again and see if i find any obstructed popups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicus.2130 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yes it's a(nother) major problem with rifle. For me it doesn't even say obstructed on the screen, it just doesn't hit the target, the bullets just poof into thin air. Then I stand up and can hit the target from the exact same position. I give up on rifle (and thief in general) until there's a major overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpel.3972 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 They need to increase the velocity of the projectile to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinkz.7045 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It has been like this for 5 years, so the chances of it getting fixed now are pretty slim, you obviously never played longbow ranger, GS mesmer, rifle engi, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have in fact played a LB Ranger. This is different; shooting from the kneeling position is failing from positions that work just find standing. Taking the kneeling position seems to be changing our positioning for LoS checks to use a lower z-axis position. No other ranged weapon is affected by this.

BlaqueFyre.5678 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Had seen an issue of Shooting from Higher elevation to someone on flat surface with nothing that could obstruct in the Guild Hall Arena kept getting Obstructed, my Buddy on Ranger from the same spot was able to hit me with out any issues.
