i wasnt sure where to put this thread so... eeny-meeny-miny-moe ...

...n e ways... speaking of Totem Axe Farming theres this annoying bug...
theres a bridge u cross over to get to the behemut area and underneath the bridge are jungle trolls... well for some reason they can attack u from below, and u can attack them, and vice versa...its not a huge/major bug, but non the less an annoying one, so i just wanted to point that out, i dont know if n e 1 else has noticed it...
How/Where do i inform ANet (or whoever) about this glitch?

It's not a glitch, GW doesn't have a z dimension. I doubt it ever will. That's why trappers make use of trapping above/below enemies. Melee characters seem to be able to attack back, but the bridges still act as obstacles for projectile characters.

And if you look closely, you can still see the occasional henchmen take off for the sky....

I've flown before several times but whenever I stopped flapping my wings (stopped moving), I'd always fall back to the ground.

I know about it but if it bothers you just don't stay on the bridge.

It has a z axis, thats why there are bridges in the first place. The problem is that there is no upper limit on hit boxes, meaning you can attack someone standing directly above you, but not directly below you. Don't know if thats related to the various issues with flying henchmen and pets and stuff, but I would assume so since both are z axis related.

Speaking of wings, I managed to get Talon stuck in one of the holes the Afflicted jump out of in Bukdek Byway once. That was... interesting.

haha, maybe Talon is going to turn^^.

Adding a z-dimension would be nice. but with the way things work, it's like telling a line on a piece of paper that it can go vertical... and not up^^... or is it up-wards^^?
