Default Attack not working

Is there any eta on a fix for this?

Many people, including myself, having issues when you turn attack on and it just sits there while ya get yer salad tossed by a mob.

Note: when this happens, the targets health does not go down until dead, despite nukes/dots.

I streamed this to some of the admins on the p99 discord, but i get the feeling they needed to check the date on their dairy products in the fridge instead. /smh

Hit escape, then retarget the mob.

Yeah, did that.. did everything one could think of..
no alternate method suggestions explain why the mobs health does not go down.. even though dotted.. (till it dies) then it jumps from where ever it was when the issue began (40%?) then poof, dead and problem not fixed.

First of all, you were unwilling to record this happening (but instead volunteered everyone else to do so), there were a lot of suggestions given (sadly none worked), and although you assert "many people", and "everyone on green", literally no one but you has seemed to report it. So lets not overplay our hand, here.

When this happens it's usually the client thinking a mob is there, but the server does not. This is often network related.

When you suggested i record it and i told you "I can't"
Q: How did this turn into "unwilling" ?

When you are condescending on the p99 discord (a method to deter?), then try not to troll the guy in the forums mngkay?
thanks.

As far as others experiencing it.. true. Many? (yes)
reporting it? (nope)

Because you didnt even bother to TRY to download OBS and record it.

Cite?


I feel that nothing good is going to come of this discussion, and although EVERYONE on green is having this issue, oddly I'm not, and choose to help myself, so I will bid you adieu. You may continue to respond if you feel like you have to say something, but I won't see it.

Good luck.

Seriously want me to search all log files and communications just to prove that there are many others having the issue? If i told you I were male, would you desire me to pull my pants down too? /sigh

.. look, when someone brings up an issue in the future.. it's best you don't respond, this human interaction thing might be tricky and it takes some getting used to I suppose. /shrug

I like to ask for suggestions then refuse to listen to any of them and still complain. Typical snowflake. Just hit ESC and re-target it Sean Carrol.

This is very easy to reproduce. It occurs when you target a mob from "too far" away. The only known solution is to drop your target and re-target. If you target a mob from too far, you can't auto-attack it or notice changes to it's health.

My guess is you were targeting mobs/pulling with an eye of zomm?

Whenever this happens to me I just use the cycle between target/self key to retarget and get the 'unstuck' health bar.

The above poster's explanation for how to reproduce this makes a ton of sense, since this only happens to me when using stalking probes to pull.
