Why am I missing on every hit in the first fight with the imps?

[Paladin Larec]

inb4 I suck.

Here's the thing, I don't get any hits. Me and the Githyanki lady miss. Every single time. Same thing with the intellect devourer. Is something wrong? I would like to see a combat log with the dice rolls but I don't see how to bring one up. Definitely not ToEE.

Are you using weaponry that you're not proficient with or don't have appropriate stats for? What sort of hit percentages are being displayed? Some more context for what you're doing would be great.

[Paladin Larec]

Oh, for some reason I have to click on the enemy portrait in the turn order list. clicking on them in the actual game doesn't work. It even doesn't let me use special attacks or spells on them that way either, just says "no target"

How anti-intuitive

[IRMcG]

Git gud :) Combat log's in the lower right, just expand the arrow. They're not hard to deal with, just sounds like you're unlucky with your rolls.

Everything is a dice roll, just like in the older games, just like in the Swotor games, and other crpgs as well. The idea is you need to be using equipment that you are set up to use and not equipment that isn't good for you, and you need to try and see if you can get the dice in your favor rather than the enemies.
Outside of that, it's random chance which is what dice rolls are. You can get the dice heavily in your favor, but there's still a chance to fail the dice roll, just like there's always a chance to succeed even if it's heavily against you.

Just try not to be like a variety of people that claim the dice don't work properly because they can't understand how probability works. That conversation is so frustrating to have.

That's not right, clicking on the enemies attacks as long as you have an attack action available. The target should have a bright outline if the mouse is positioned correctly.

[Paladin Larec]

No, there definitely is a bug of some sort. Clicking on the enemy model in-game with my attack always results in a miss with no dice roll shown in the combat log. I missed a few dozen in a row, never hit. Yet when I moused over and clicked on the enemy portrait in the turn order display at the top, I hit *every time* and cleared them out no problem. Reloaded and tried again. Same result. I also couldn't do moves such as concussive smash or weakening strike unless I clicked on the enemy portrait in the turn order list either. Very odd.

Don't know what bug occurs but you can definitely click on the model in-game i think i even never used the click portrait thing

[IRMcG]

I mean that's not normal. You using mods or rebound keys or something ?

If this is anything like the Pathfinder games, try putting the mouse cursor on the circle underneath the character model and pay attention if the enemy gets a color around the model. If not, continue moving the cursor on the enemy model until you see something change like that.

Disable Karmic Dice (should be disabled by default).

[Paladin Larec]

Ahhh, I think I found out what it was. I wasn't clicking exactly on the model, but within the circle under the model. The game still allowed me to attack that "Thin air" I suppose and offered no feedback that I wasn't actually targeting the enemy. Weird that it allows you to attack nothing. My eyesight is bad enough, going to have to be careful and make sure I click exactly on the monster model and not just within its threat circle.

Use buffs that increase your chances.

Most people like to spam offensive skills because they are exciting, but buffs work wonders in games like these.

Sure, they may be boring, but they will tip the scales in your favour.

I'm pretty sure it gives a color around the model when you are targeting them correctly, last I remember anyway. That would be your indication.

*edit*
Yep, just loaded up the game. Targeting a character gives a color around their model that indicates you are targeting them for an attack. If you don't see that color around them, you aren't targeting them.
The system gives you feedback, just need to know what you are doing is all.

I mean, I didnt even know you COULD click on the portait. I am going to try that next time.

It does, I suppose it's been a good 2 years since I played Div 2, so I was still operating by my old BG/ToEE/Arcanum standards where I just lazily click near the enemy and the attack is made. Don't get old.
