[Known] Zero damage!

This patch was just published, will get patch notes out in a bit.

 

Sweet! When I get home from work I’ll give those overland zombie encounters a try........ if I can find any......

 

AWESOME

 

I can still easily trigger the zero damage condition but now it only lasts a couple of seconds. So, much improved. Thanks.

 

Yes, it is much better, but it should be entirely fixed. I really don't like dying due to no fault of my own. One missed hit could mean the difference between killing a mob or being killed by a mob.

 

This is still happening against Child Zombies. R888

Tested even exiting combat. Does not change anything.

 

I think this is something different that you are referring to, not the zero damage from being "out of reach." Looking at your videos, there are a few things I see. One, is that pucture reports zero damage. This is because the bleed effect from puncture does not do damage against undead. The other things I see are some skills saying "you hit nothing!" This is due to a minimum range requirement for some polearm skills, you are too close to them. Are there any other issues in these videos that you are referring to?

I talked to Chris, and we will make some changes to fix these issues. First, puncture will be updated so that the bleed effect doesn't apply at all to undead, rather than applying, and then doing zero damage. Second, we will remove the minimum distance requirement from polearm skills, as this was based on an old design, and doesn't work very well in the current state of the game and AI.

 

I thought the naughty brats weren't actually undead and that's why they don't carry creepy dollies.

 

Thanks @BurningToad that covers my questions, and those changes sound perfect. Thanks!

 

are there blades skills with a minimum range? 'cause i have the same problem with child zombies.
