Enemies ignoring darkness?

[Inardesco]

So, Darkness as a spell, and a monk thingy, says specifically that ranged attacks can't be made out of or into an area covered by it.

If I want to use a ranged attack with a party member standing in darkness, I have to get out.

So why the ♥♥♥♥ can act 1 goblins shoot into darkness with no issue? They only have darkvision but afaik darkvision does not negate the "Creatures cannot make ranged attack into or out of it" from the darkness spell/ki thing.

They don't, they only have darkvision.

I noticed as well that fog cloud, darkness, and Hunger of Hadar barely ever seem to actually obstruct enemy lines of sight.

I noticed it, as well.

In my experience, they can't shoot into it but they can sure as ♥♥♥♥ shoot through it for some reason.

Wow, this is still broken? This has been broken since day 1 of EA and its STILL not fixed?
;see, I played a few playthroughs once the game was officially released, but theres just so many bugs I decided to put it down for a year until they fix everything, like I did with cyberpunk.

but if they still havnt fixed something as trivial as this, thats not inspiring confidence.

I have had multiple goblins shoot into the darkness last night. When I wanted to shoot back, I had to walk outside the darkness and then back into it.

Afaik you shouldn't be able to target something behind the darkness either. Atleast it never would've let me when I fought Viconia and her gang in Act 3 whom love to spam darkness.

I found posts going back to august last year talking about the bug. So it's definately one thats been around for a while.

AI archers can target you through the floors and ceilings to hit you in another part of a building. Doesn't surprise me they also ignore darkness and fog clouds.

They also used to counterspell through walls (in Wyrm's Crossing at least). Not sure if they have fixed that since September.

As for the goblins... I guess we can just imagine it is some kind of an Absolute new perk
