    Gotcha, targeting is always automatically done but to bypass accidentally attacking you turn off auto attack and only manual attack (power attack). Please refer to the video on how targeting works. He explained it fairly well I think.

    Just to reiterate my goal with these videos... They're not additional deep dives for feedback. They're in-depth looks from Chris at how the system works. If he says something works one way and it doesn't then I suggest a bug report! If he leaves a detail out and I don't notice (like the effectiveness stat and how it plays into skills) call us on it!

    I think 90% of player frustration is based on lack of correct information or repeatable content. Hopefully these videos help with half of that!

    Speaking of demystifying @Chris can you please add future focus cost to the "in 20 levels description"?

    Yes, some of the best deep dive tech talk I have seen in the 15 months I have been playing. Show me the math.

    In Tech Talk Tuesday #1, Chris mentioned in an attack a 0-100 is rolled.
    If the mob is attacking you, and it has a crit chance of 10%,
    and if you have a dodge of 10%, block of 10%, parry of 10%, glancing blow of 10%

    If the roll is:

    Roll Effect on incoming attack
    (0-10) crit
    (11-20) dodge
    (21-30) block
    (31-40) parry
    (41-50) glancing blow
    (51-60) crit hit
    (61-100) normal hit

    I don't really understand the 2nd part where Chris agin mentioned the roll of 51-60 being a crit hit again (around time 21:13), since the roll from 0-10 was for a crit hit. Can anyone elaborate on this?

    Also, since in the character sheet, avoidance mentions dodge and glancing blow together, does it mean that in the combat math 0-100 roll, avoidance is used twice in the calculation - 1 time for dodge chance and another time for glancing blow chance?

    A critical that doesn't count as critical thus it is a hit.

    As I understand, from how Chris has explained it here and before, dodge (from dex) is dodge... and glancing blow is from DA (avoidance) ... avoidance gives you 33% damage received instead of a "miss" ... which is huge because you can AVOID a crit... you can't dodge it (50% reduction on a dodge, 66.67% on a glancing blow).

    edit: to be clear... when a crit "misses" it becomes a hit...

    Could you elaborate on this please? A critical that doesn't count as a critical thus it is a hit? A critical by definition means it already is categorized as a critical already right?

    Edit: Ok, just saw your edit. So when a crit misses it becomes a hit. Thanks.

    I guess now we can blame @Chris for taming not being balanced and fun...
    There are no taming changes in R40.

    If there's time I'll definitely try to get this one in there more... I think a lot of people have struggled understanding how this works. A good amount of this information was covered previously in the networking data... be sure to watch issue #2 around the middle of the video to pickup network information.

    I wanna know if damage resistance on your armor still negates the defensive effect of Dexterity. Found a 2015 video where chris mentioned that (lowering dexterity defense if using heavy armor)

    Also i wanna know if Attunment give you resistance as well, or if its just negating the bonus from the attunment of your enemies which makesitfeel like resistance. (Guy with 100 attunment attacks guy with 50 attunment. 100 attunment guy's attunment bonus reduced to 50 attunment?)

    And lastly, i heard a rumor that you guys were scrapping the ideaof a regional economy. Is that true? Or are you still planning to distribute resources via region?

    Check out the middle of issue one and really the majority of issue 2... there's a lot to take into account for how all the benefits of dex fit in and how attunement works with all of that... those things have been covered though! check it out!

    Yeah i was watching it a while ago, but although it talks about network communication, UDP packages, lag etc but it doesn't say anything about server or P2P communications ... or i missed that.

    it explains a bit of information that you need to know for us to not rehash old topics... but it doesn't explain it well enough / directly enough to answer what you're asking... so, yes, I'll see if we can work it in... thanks for that idea

    This was covered in the Combat section of the Spring Telethon as well, around the 8:30:00 mark. Basically, attunement counts as partial resistance, so compare defender's Resistance + (Attunement/x) against attacker's Attunement to determine effectiveness.
