Greetings all,

I’ve been investigating the shade obstruction issue when able and have wanted to get it fixed for quite some time, but have been unable to do so for technical reasons… until recently.

Thanks largely to JoelH and BenA’s deeper peeks into Line of Sight checks I’ve been able to set things up so that as long as you’ve got line of sight to the shade itself, it can strike targets in its area, even if you don’t have vision of those targets.

This gamewide change will be going out alongside the PvP/WvW splits patch tomorrow, as that’ll be the first chance we have to get this to you.

See you in Tyria!
