Title: "Break Open Gate" not working after 2 times
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? yes
Details: "Break Open Gate" can only be used 2 times on the gate in this location (haven't tested others) - after 2 uses, the reticle doesn't turn green to allow a 3rd use.
Steps to Reproduce: Run to this gate while being attacked, you can "Break Open Gate" only twice before the reticle stops turning into a green circle, and the gate cannot be opened.

I somehow remember that this issue very likely has been around since several Releases ago but just nobody bothered to post any bug report about it before.

 

I am unable to reproduce this issue internally on latest. Please confirm if this problem still occurrs. Have been able to successfully open the gate.

 

@Mischievous Dragon There is not a "not bothered to bug it". That is pretty dismissive, imo. Some of us are still trying to figure out how to reproduce it before posting. I run into this problem a lot in the Hills Siege. It is either a strange pathing issue or a visual cue issue. To get the third (or sometimes second) you have to step back and realign a bit different and just play with it. Reproducing is the hard part, seeing the pattern is tough, but there is definitely a problem. You could be like the mobs and just walk through! Yes, that happens too. I can hear the door open yet the visuals still show it shut. @Attenwood Still trying to find the pattern, will report back when I know more.

One observation. There is a point when you approach where the reticle turns green, but if you click then the avatar starts to walk backwards to somewhere. I always break it off but I guess I should let it go full term and see where the path is leading.

 

@Attenwood The issue I reported appears to be fixed in the current/latest QA build - thanks!
