no-shots in gianthold

Pretty odd bug popped up in gianthold epic.

Throwing attacks are not being rolled about 60% of the time. tested it on three different toons, straight melee attack are rolled for every attack, as are ranged attacks but the thrown attacks are not happening.  In the combat log, and on the UI.

have not duplicated the problem in other areas yet.

Well, I don't play but here I what I think is happening if you are seeing such results.

They fixed monk stars so they broke other thrower stuff.  This is typical, seriously, no bullshit, this is typical. 

Probably only broke them in GH, could be else where but I'm not playing so I can't test.  Not sure why only in GH unless there was something in there they were trying to fix.

How popular are thrower builds now?  They were not very popular when I played so I'm wondering if the number of builds has increased to the point where people will notice it.

Other than monks, do people actually play other thrower?

BTW, is it my imagination or does tactical detonation (WF Arti) not work at 25% of the time?

I had some odd experiences, but no time to check it in detail.

There's a lot of weird stuff happening; I'm not sure if it is New Stuff, or if I'm noticing it more now that I've upgraded to an SSD and brought the temps down so the game isn't stuttering as much.

A non-exhaustive list of effects I have noticed so far since u22:

Soundburst Stun twist: sound effect occurs, spell goes on cooldown, no effect (on primary target, mobs caught in the blast, or both).  Happens maybe 20% of the time.

Stunning Fist: hit mob, nothing, chew mob's face off, stun and accompanying *ding* happens just before - or on a couple of occasions, just after - mob dies anyway.  Not getting helpless damage in the meantime.

Mob deaths: I am actually learning to move on when I "feel" like the mob should be dead, as although animations are occuring there's no damage text and nothing appears to be happening.  Nine times out of ten, whatever I was fighting drops as I jump to the next target, even though it appeared to be on full health when I moved away.  Happening pretty frequently.

DoT: Greater Creeping cold taking so long to kick in that sometimes no damage registers until the spell's off cooldown, at which point I get a cluster of cold-damage ticks all together.

Stormrage: Lightning strikes going off, no extra damage showing up for ages.  Happens maybe half the time.

Tsunami:  totally random as to whether it does anything or not.  Only ever hits one mob, despite description.  I've had damage + knockdown, damage with no knockdown, knockdown with no damage, and "nothing whatsoever".  Roll a d4.  Random is exciting.

Howl of Terror:  mobs completing animations or movements before freezing in terror.  Also, I have lost count of the times that I've been hit by a spell or effect after the mob is paralyzed.  This may have been doing on for ages and I'm only just catching on because I'm not seeing many movement glitches any more.  This (and Earthquake also having weirdly-delayed effects) is making soloing the lever pull in Servants of the Overlord more "interesting".

Neutralize Poison: does not neutralize poison, maybe half the time.  Does seem to prevent new effects however.

Like I say... it could be that this is just normal shit that I'm only just noticing because the experience otherwise has generally improved.  All in all though, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that if I started throwing things it didn't work a bunch of the time.

I believe A lot of the spell problems are related to a targeting issue.

Targets aren't sticking.  They selected target just seems to jump or change.  Hard targeting is sometimes needed.

I was trying to cast cloud effects in E3BC and it would not let me target the ground in front of me.
Really odd.  Something to do with the terrain overlays I believe.

Also, alot of people have been commenting on spells being cast, consuming SP and going on cooldown, but nothing happening.  Sometimes you get visual, sometimes you don't.
Was happening before U22 too.

Have not actually played since U22; however these past couple months I've had problems targeting some spells such as fireball.  Have you experienced any of the other recent targeting issues such as:
Random target soft/hard target switching without your input
Auto-target on/off without your input
problems targeting non-combats

If its any of those you might be having the old issue, if not probably something new.  Good luck

Oh, hell, I wasn't even going into that but yeah.  Hard targeting doesn't stick either; I hard-target mobs habitually from the last time this was a thing and it's just not working reliably any more. Auto-targeting seems to be doing basically nothing at all right now, and hard targets can de-lock for no reason; this includes tabbed interaction objects.

Targeting is utterly hosed.

alright this is pretty weird, it is thunderforge throwing axes that are not rolling to hit. TF'ed  darts, shuriken, throwing hammers, throwing daggers, all attacking, but not thunderforged throwing axes???

Non thunderforged throwing axes no problems as well.

all these bugs certainly are entertaining Sad
