Problem with fatality - no animation

[Mad Matt]

Hi guys,
do you have any problems with performing fatalities? I was able to do it perfectly earlier, but after 9-10th April game shows up some info about no char animation.

Any known fixes for that? I can still "do" the fatality, but instead of animation my char is hiding his weapon, and standing idle until enemy fall to the ground or I will trigger his fall by pressing "E" (use button) - than he will fall instantly. After that I'm granted with fatality bonus, but it looks stupid and it's breaking my fun. Is there any fixes? Anyone has the same problem?

I'm using only level mod (140 levels), but it's not a mod fault.

I have seen my character not be able to do the fatality even if it is "right there", I have seen it locked and attacked while "preparing to do a fatality" which I wasnt really wanting to, and twice I had the character which would take the fatality to die before it, and my character get stuck and I had to restart the game.

So yeah, it is buggy.

One consideration I would make is that Funcom devs should have revised the idea of having a "humongous" AB for everything, and a convoluted state machine before introducing yet another state of control given that the original system in which those fatalities were introduced already did not worked correctly as intended.

Funny thing is, it was working perfect earlier, it just went bad after one of the hotfixes.
It's showing info about "not finding emote in data table"...

The problems I described have been happening not only with me since it was only in the Test Client.
There are lists of reports of it in the Funcom Forums.

They should just remove fatalities, don´t care and they slow down the character when it works.

Well, long ago, already in the 19th century a guy said:
"There is nothing more wasteful than do something wrong efficiently and with efficacy."

well as we seen before when they add a new system, its bugged to hell and back, and god knows when they going to really fix it.
they probably do what they do best, ducktape patch it and call it fixed. untill they do a major update again and ripoff that ducktape.

Okay, it's working again. I just had to leave Jhebal Sag dungeon I was farming. I can do fatalities with all weapons on every human NPC, it's probably some dungeon related bug

To date, I do still experience the bug. It happens on (humanoid, obviously) enemies inside certain dungeons, and noticed first while doing the Jhebal Sag one. The Wine Cellar is affected too.

Every time it happens, I have to make myself admin, enter creative mode and press the space bar twice to enter in flying mode. This makes the enemy to fall dead and I can then quit the creative mode and resume my playing.

After the Age Of Heroes update, this is still a bug... Wow... Having bought this game really feels like being victim of a scam for such an unacceptable quality at coding and de-bugging.
