Pit Fights: My orcs won't fight back.

[RayGun Raptor]

This is a recurring glitch that is getting REALLY frustrating. Quite frequently, my orc captain won't fight back. Period. For no reason. I've paid attention to the traits to give my guys the best advantage, but sometimes they just stand there and get beat to death. They won't dodge or attack, and often they won't even use abilities. They just circle around the enemy captain, or worse yet circle around one of his lackeys, and stare at them blankly, without ever defending or attacking. The most recent was a beastmaster with a mount who went up against an enemy captain who was vulnerable to beast attacks. He let the dude beat his mount half to death, unseat him, then just sat there and took a beating until he died. And the enemy captain then leveled up higher than I was so I couldn't even replace him. And it happens A LOT. One time it happened three rounds in a row.

Never bring an orc with a mount into the fight pits. They're never effective. Your best bet is usually getting an enemy with an elemental weapon and sending in a guy with immunity. If they can get enraged somehow, even better. But it's still not foolproof. I had one idiot who was a beast killer that was also enraged by caragors...except he hit the caragor with a flaming weapon and set himself on fire for the enrage's entire duration.

The fact that an orc with a mount is not effective sounds like a bug and needs to be fixed... The AI needs to be better though because I've watched 3 minutes of two characters not fighting at all, just circling eachother raising their arms like they were having a bodybuilding contest, would have never finished if it wasn't for the fact that they had orcs with them.

This isn't a problem with the mount. This has happened repeatedly with any combination of warriors, mounted or unmounted, olog or orc. Doesn't matter. It's a recurring issue where my orcs (or evidently any orcs) just plain refuse to fight and stand there until they die.

I just lost a 52 to a 27 because he didn't attack ONE DAMN TIME except for the ologs the enemy brought with him. He focused on those while getting hit in the back, then just stood face to face with the 27 and didn't swing once. This is super broken and makes getting the last warchief slot almost impossible. Mind you, this was just MAGGOTS and he was a 52 Epic. That is absolute B.S.

How the hell hard can it be for them to fix this broken crap? Game has been out a month now and this is kind of an important feature not to have screwing up. But hey, lets fix those audio issues 2% of the players had.

Pits suck lol pause game before he turns green and is broken,then exit and reload n ur guy will never die,although I had a legendary olog die n 28 sec said doomed couldn't revive,so be Johnny on the spot with start button😁

[RayGun Raptor]

Glad I'm not just going crazy. The first time it happened, I basically button mashed my entire keyboard trying to figure out what was wrong cuz I thought I was supposed to control him or something. lol

[Redrin]

This crap is still going on and is infuriating!!!!!

Seems like this is the best solution available.

Yah, I've never seen any of my orcs win in a pit fight, no matter how many levels higher they were than their opponent.

[RayGun Raptor]

A level 50 beating a 25 with type advantages basically comes down to just pure luck sadly.

[Pantherr]

Well I have had mounted orcs that have been quite effective... That said, the fights are "rigged" so many times my guy will have almost full health and he beats the opp down to green, broken, and instead of finishing him off he stands there and lets the opp beat him to DEATH... This cannot be right..

[RayGun Raptor]

I don't think it's rigged. Just glitched. Otherwise they would have eliminated the loophole we've all been using.

The advantage of rider skill on orc captain is that will allow them to climb over spiked wall in Siege, and deal instant kill attack to Tailon, beside those, nothing is actually helpful.

2 years later and it is still happening. Not a chance it will get fixed now. I wish I had known about these problems before wasting money/time on this game.
