    I have a problem for you to correct in arena. On 3vs3 on the small fence made out of boxes if i stay close to it and a magician shoots a fireball it hits me and it's not fair. I can't shoot my arrow through the fence :(. It's on the bottom right side of the map, i didnt test the other ones

    @Alexandra79 I've moved your issue over to the Tech Support area.

    Can you provide an image of the location. I think I have an idea where you are talking about, and I am able to have my ranger's arrows fly over the middle boxes.

    yes yes exactly the one who has a small crack in the middle. That space is nice and tricky i like it but im talking about the rest of the fence :(

    I tried it out, and maybe I'm not the best Spellweaver, but I couldn't get my fireballs over the tall barrels. Can you provide a more detailed location?

    I marked with blue where i was in the previous game and with red where the speller was.

    Thank you for the image.

    It appears that the fireball is stopped by the barrier, but you are incurring damage because of it's large blast radius. I will ask to see if it is an intended feature.

    Yea, it is probably the AoE explosion on impact. I can use my Mighty Wild Swing or Bloody Wild Swing through barriers, it just happens a lot less often than mages and their darn fireball.

    There is also another spot in the picture where at least the fireball will hit you if you stand right next to fence (when it's shooted from the other side). It's the fence right above "open/close chat window" button .

    Indeed, happens there as well. It's all because of the blast radius. Sometimes, but not as often as with a fireball, rangers can get the same effect with precision shot, as well because of the area of impact.

    All classes can do that. If you stand too close to an obstacle, the enemy can hit you from the other side.

    Well, i think it's wrong and they should correct the dynamics so that a wall is a wall...i bet spellers like it though ..

    we don't like it, we love it ;) jk!! jk!!...on a more serious note, it's the blast damage or ''aftershock'' so to speak...it's really bothersome when you're up against a camper who uses the pyro talent for his/her talent points, the knights swings also work on a similar manner though.

    The game designer confirmed that the barrier should protect the player from the fireball. "The radius of the exploding fireball ought to not penetrate through the barrier. " They will be looking into how this can be improved.
