No, FD cannot fail without a message unless you do something wrong like not turning off autoattack.

What do you call a scenario where the mob is attacking you after you FD'ed?

A failure in situational awareness.

Can you turn off Ripostes? Last time I checked, it isn't player error to have an ill-timed riposte cause an FD failure. This will cause an FD failure without a "fallen to the ground" message.

Also, thank you for agreeing with me that there are other methods to check if FD failed besides looking for the "fallen to the ground" message.

That is not FD failing. That is the mob realising that they had been tricked. FD was successful, but the mobs are smart and can work out a successful FD happened and change their opinion based on new information...

Lol that is a good analogy. Sadly the mob does not deign to provide a specific message like "you have fallen to the ground" when realizing it has been bamboozled. It will still attack you in the same manner as when FD randomly fails. That is why you /con it, so you can see if it is wearing a scowly face or not. Mobs are apparently bad at hiding their emotions, and thus reading their emotions and actions is more reliable.
