Title: "Changes to a normal stance."
Post by: Sijyb00 on July 21, 2005, 07:15:16 pm

I dont know if this is normal, but it seems everyone can kill rats (and anything else)  faster than me.

In the \"system\" tab of communications, it says \"XXX changes to a normal stance\" about 30 times, between each attack.

When other players kill rats, this doesn\'t show up.

So is this just something only I can see, or what? I\'m so lost.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you\'re not trying to click the different stance buttons when you\'re attacking? I believe the number of times you attack also depends on your Agility stat, so some players attack twice while others only once, etc.

Are the different stance buttons, the 5 little circles that say like bloody, aggressive, defense, etc.?

I just click the mouse a lot when I attack.
Is this wrong?

once you start attack you dont need to click mouse anymore. Just sit back, relax and enjoy.

the bottoms mean to start an attack with a certain stance.
i dont know if there are real differences between them.

but fact is that you START an ATTACK. and your character will CONTINUE attack until the oponent is dead, you are too far a way from it or you END your attack.

so just klick attack ONCE and watch in third person view your character kill the rat.

Hi.

I think at the moment all the stance buttons start a normal attack. Also note that you can disable the attack stance change messages from options - \"chat - filters\". This helps if someone else is repeatedly changing his attack stance.

I seem to attack a lot more when pushing the bloody button. I also get halfway ripped to shreds.

The attack stances don\'t work because of the numeric bug (same as /roll or /guildpromote). You actualy do a /attack 3 for normal, a /attack 4 for agressive and so on.
So they are all NORMAL attacks, no difference between buttons. It is only an opinion that you attack faster or get hit less. It will be fixed however in the next release.
