the ants evade me

Postby Hizeru » Mon May 17, 2010 6:24 am

ok so every fight guide i've read suggest attacking ants to practice, but no matter what i do i seem unable to start combat with them and its driving me nuts, someone tell me i'm stupid and a noob and answer my question with additional flaming and internet spite, cause i know this is pathetic bad and deserving.

seriously i'mjsut failing at this game i think i have like six threads in this section in the last week, ugh anyway . let the flame begin.

Additional note, if you dont have the hunting skill yet then ants wont attack you even if you raid their home.
If you ever run into someone in real life chasing moths, running down rabbits, or admiring the picket fence around your house that's me!

You need will to power and unarmed combat skill to be able to learn how to punch ants. Hope you have around 10 unarmed stat.

And no I will not flame you. The combat system is rather hard to pick up for a while.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.

Hizeru, find the skill Punch in Combat Moves or whatever and click it, then the ants. There you go.

You do NOT have to start a raid to attack ants. Doing so will anger all 3 ants at once, so is not recommended.
Just activate and attack and start clicking in their general area until you hit one. They move fast so it can be tricky, but shouldn't be all that difficult.

Are you not able to start combat against them or simply missing them when you attack a punch?

the combat doesn't start up, i can start combat with them when i attack the hill but that is not very advisable thing to do. I've managed with one of my new character to actually attack ants and its all going well but my older character still seems unable to initiate combat
