Not facing target in melee

Swords specifically will time again and again not face another player or mob when executing sword skills. This causes you to miss completely, more than 30% of the time.

 

I run into the same issues with bludgeon.

 

Also, any non-melee (ranged) & magic glyph, today, will auto-face. It would be great to have consistency, so that when you use a melee glyph, you also auto-face, just like you do today with magic glyphs.

For example, Ice Arrow auto faces. Ice fist does not. Obsidian Arrow auto-faces, stone fist does not. Blind (sun) auto faces. Crushing Blow does not. etc.

 

This is a known issue present with our combat system with frequent differences in how we handle ranged and melee combat. We have every expectation of consolidating the disparate implementations into a single consistent system in the near future. Thank you for reporting.

 

It's not just a matter of autofacing. Sometimes the game actually refuses to let me turn. I will move forward with both mouse buttons to face my new target, but it only moves me and not turns me, even if my old target is dead.

 

Yes, sort of like you are on tank treads right? , the movement is limited, is the best way I can describe this...
