Return of Reckoning

Introduction:

Every keep offense or defense I get damage from nowhere even if I am hidden behind pillars or walls. I don't remember this happening while playing on the official game servers.

Details:

This should not happen as I am getting killed out of nowhere with huge damage, higher damage than my class output is. This puts a huge strain on the healers, renders me unable to get close to chokepoints in order to dish out my damage.

Evidence:

Join any Destruction side keep assault or defense and hide behind a wall and you shall experience it.

Additional information:

Some things that hit me: Flames of ruin, Napalm Grenade, Acid bomb, Phosphorus Shells. I understand that these might be AOE skills, however, I am - and the rest of the melee - cowering behind a wall, outside of the line of sight of anything. This is happening in keeps. In forts it's even worse! I am using Bypass Defenses and using the small ramps to get inside and as soon as my head reaches the ground level, I get hit. How is it possible to get hit at such range and through walls? I am making sure I am staying quite far from where I could get hit and yet am getting hit permanently when it comes down to keeps and forts. Flames of ruin is a weapon proc so I shouldn't get hit by it if I'm not getting hit by a weapon, still am getting hit by it. Grenades should not hit behind pillars, because the AOE spread should take into account the pillar/wall and stop within the area, unless it has an area of half the bottom floor of an inner keep, and even then it should take into consideration the obstacles.
Edit: I cannot use my ranged abilities as I'm getting: "You cannot see your target" message, but the ranged can shoot at me.

I suspect most of this is essentially server lag, so sometimes you are getting hit with projectiles and spells that were cast a few seconds earlier when they did have line of sight, and by the time they do land you have moved. Many abilities also only check LoS when started, so they can still fire if the cast/shot completed when the target is now hidden, making it seem like you got ript when hidden.

AoE will of course hit you when not in LoS, i am on Sorceress atm and i will use Shades all the time to hit people hiding round corners or on walls that are close enough to where i can target to still get tagged by the radius

Grenades hit like grenades do - in aoe fashion. You might be behind pillar but still in 20ft range from someone more exposed - and shrapnel get to you. Or dotted people start moving out of the fray and carry front line dots back with them to save spots.

Tossing grenades is not an art of finesse, each one is addressed "to whom it may concern"

WL and SH pets walk through walls. I got hit by Slayer behind a postern in BFP. I saw a SH pewpew through walls in a fort. There are multiple issues with how "solid walls" are seen in this game.
I understand this is why u play an engineer, cuz of the advantages it has by hitting ppl behind walls, but it shouldn't work like this, it never did on live. I don't remember being hit without being able to see the attacker. NEVER.
Either way, thank you for your comments, I guess it is what it is.

U can even target through walls.

Another example would be when I'm on the walls and getting hit from below although it shouldn't be possible as I'm standing on the inner side of the wall. Not to mention I can't pull them (mara) as I get prompted with : not in line of sight. But they have line of sight.

Which forts?

This is a problem on both sides. Dissolving mist covers every inch of a keep/fort as Order, same with sorcs. For wb v wb its mostly free morales. Same goes for squigs shooting into forts

No this is a bug, people are being pulled through walls by Choppas and Mag engineers. You can throw aoe damage through walls now as well.

Yesterday Butchers pass both sides got pulled through the walls by magnet, gtdc and rift.

@OP; gtaoe should be able to hit you no matter if no LOS, other skills shouldnt.
