missing fleeing mob

[Fwank]

Well I guess it's not just me having this problem lol.. I have this happen all the time and usually results in more adds, although It would be nice to see if there is a bad string in codes here..

IMO, post this in the bugs section and see what happens or if you get a response.

Bear in mind that the random number generator in EQ has always been kind of streaky. Add that to the compounding penalties that stack up, especially during this era of the game, and Murphy's Law often reigns supreme. It's not bad code, just bad luck. Keeping offense and melee skills capped is about all you can do, really.

At least you can chalk it up to trying to melee as a priest. My main during this era of the live game was a SK....The whiff streaks happended so often when it really counted that I was close to kicking a hole in a wall a few times....And SKs are tanks.

Welcome to EQ, I guess. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don’t see any logic in this and not sure whether it was like this back in the day…. any thoughts on this?

Logic != Classic EQ.

But yes I remember this as well. We nuked shit that ran.

I get a lot of 'out of range' in this case...I have to be a LOT closer, almost right on top of the mob in order to hit consistently. Don't remember that from classic. It hard to tell whether I miss more, as I seem to be able to try to hit a lot less.

You need to buy my special "Dagger's of Backstabbing!" sure to increase your to hit chance on fleeing mobs! They look like regular Rusty Daggers but are for sure to increase your hits! No money back! 2k plat each!

I've noticed the same thing with my pet. As soon as the mob starts fleeing, my pet can't seem to hit it. Don't remember that being the case on live, but it has been over a decade. I also thought that if you hit something from behind, you would damage it more, or it would have less of a chance of dodging/missing. Don't know that for fact, just vaguely remember something along those lines.
