I've been wandering aimlessly for a little while and I ran into a gorilla-ish thing with spikes at the end of its arms (an Ulbernaut), but when I tried to attack it, nothing happened. (If it matters, I have no weapons equipped.)
I've tried deselecting and selecting, stopping and restarting the attack, changing my stance, and relaunching the client. None of that worked.
I don't know if it's only this creature or everything, but the point is, the problem is there.
One would think that a game with monsters to fight, even when fighting is not the entire point of the game, would at least allow a player to attack more than once or twice.
When I caught this in the tutorial thing, the planeshift client froze (but the music kept playing) and I couldn't do anything other than a hard reboot because it was running fullscreen. (A mistake I will not make again, I now run it in an 800x600 window so I can at least wait for it to crash.)
I've tried everything I've found in the forums, everything I can think of from past experience, and now I figure I may as well ask about this annoyance. I know the best thing to do is wait, but problems don't get fixed if the developers don't know about them.

Thats a known game bug, we refer to it as the 'attack bug'[original i know], But the game as a whole is under developement; I agree it is an annoyance and we work around it be thankful that you can at least attack back and forth by targetting on and off, The old Attack bug made it so that you couldn't attack anything at all, and then there was the other one that had all the mobs not attacking back which though it sounds nice was almost as annoying over time. For now just go with it there are other things to do, quests, RP, train some job or skill, mine, LOTS.

Alright, thanks. I'll continue wandering aimlessly until I find something interesting XP
