Hi, I did some looking and searches and didnt see it, but sorry if it's already been answered and please point me to it if it has. This happens more than 50% of the time. When I do a full attack, I click my target for the first attack and nothing happens. The game then says I only have one attack. So, I loose all my extra attacks. Anybody know a fix for this? Thanks, Yarazin
If you are standing within striking range of your target, you don't have to use the radial menu to make a full attack. Just click on your target and you will automatically do a full attack. The only reason to use the radial menu for a full attack is when attacking a friendly target, or a target that is unconscious. I have no idea why that is happening to you (it sometimes does it to me when I use the radial menu, but not usually), nor do I know how to fix it.
you hover the attack pointer over the enemy until a sword pops up with 1/1, 2/2, ect. pops up, if nothing happens move it around so it refreshes itself to notice your attack counter
I find it useful to use "full attack" if I expect to drop an opponent with the first strike. If you select full attack then you can use the second attack to go for a different target, but if you don't then your PC will get medieval on the unconscious foe and finish him off with the second attack (a bit of a waste). I have not found your problem, but it MIGHT be that the character missed with his first attack? Did you check the "rolls history" to see whether the attack was made but missed? I THINK I have had this happen to me in the way you described but it turned out the first attack had missed...
It could also be that your character isn't close enough to the target, try selecting the 5 foot step option to ensure your close enough to your target before selecting the full attack option, and give the mouse a little wiggle between attacks to get the number of attacks remaining to refresh (as noted above).
I remember something like that happening when I attacked unsuspecting foes, but I can't remember more details. I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen any more. Are you using Co8 patch? Maybe it was an old bug solved...
Hi, I use full attack for just the reason stated above. I like to choose who gets attacked with each one. I also use it for my ranger, so I can hit two or more different enemies. They are not misses, at least they are not in the rolls log. The game just loses them somehow. Try alot of full attacks and see if it happens to you. Im using 4.0, but If I remeber right, it did this even before the first COE patch. Thanks, Yarazin
I've found when using the full attack action, the only way to avoid losing attacks is to move the cursor away from and then back on to the opponent between each attack. For whatever reason if you click on an opponent again without re-selecting him the game has a bad habit of wasting that attack.
it happens alot to when fighting weak opponents(brigand, lizard man, hedrack) or opponents that regenarate.(tarrasque, troll, quasit)
I would suggest it sounds like your character is standing too far away from the opponent and the rest is just circumstance and coincident.
> I would suggest it sounds like your character is standing too far away No, this is a bonafide bug that happens all the time to me. I start out with 3/3 attacks and then it will throw one or two away randomly. I'm using Co8 5.0beta1 with recent Cumulative Fixes.
I was trying this the other night, and it seems like if you click on the same target twice in a row without moving away and reselecting it, the game acts as if you had selected the single attack option. (The counter goes away and you're left with the sword/arrow icon and can make one attack.) I haven't checked the roll window to see whether the game treats it as an iterative attack or not, though. Not a big deal if you only get two attacks a round, but really annoying when you have more than that. But yeah, this is a bug that's been around as long as I've been playing the game.
I use an optical chord mouse. That seemed to eliminate a short list of messed up mouse click selections and a couple of mouse scrolling issues. * And, no, you do not have to buy a 70 dollar new fangled mouse...just a simple 20 dollar optical chord mouse does the trick. IMO - I prefer the Logitech version compared to the Microsoft version of optical chord mouse [more comfortable].
I have an optical mouse. I have no clicking or scrolling issues. This is not a mis-click or a case of being too far from the target. If my character was too far from the target the game would say "Target too far away" and I wouldn't have been able to hit the target with the first attack. Not to mention the fact that this bug occurs with missile weapons as well. When this issue occurs, the game does not just tick another attack of the counter and the attack is "wasted". The counter literally disappears, leaving the character with one attack remaining, regardless of the number of attacks they had left. Moving the cursor away and then reselecting the target for each attack allows a full number of attacks.
