Combat Damage Calculations Changed?

[ewlol]

Was the combat system changed? I used to be able to 1-shot foxes of all levels with a valor strike.... now I just did 100 dmg to a lvl 6.

I also noticed I had the hardest time against a lvl 5 bear yesterday when I could previously handle all levels.

None of my armor/stats has changed except for AGI.


EDIT:

it just happened again... I had to attack THREE times against a lvl 8 boar each attack doing like 120~ damage each.

This is incredibly frustrating

get higher stats and stop bitching.

Is it really necessary to be an asshole? Or do you just have some sadistic personality where you feel prompted to be a shitbag toward others you deem inferior? Grow up.

mate its 3 times, its statistically impossible for that to never happen to anyone, if it happens another 20times orso then come ask this questions.

[Zamte]

statistics doesn't play a part though. Fox has set HP, he likely has a set method of attacking. Melee damage isn't randomized enough to turn a 1 hit kill into a 3 hit kill.

Something has to have changed to cause such a thing to occur. Perhaps he's just bugged, as I've not noticed any changes in my hunting routines, but regardless, he's just not randomly unlucky, he didn't run into a super fox, and he certainly didn't randomly break his sword arm.

[kralmir]

i just see he said he had to hit the same boar 3 times, i thought he just got unlucky to do the lowest number of damage he could a few times close together and that resulted in just not killing something every time. but yeah you are right its not random enough to turn a 1 shot into a 3shot.

maybe they are testing the effects of nerfing melee on him:P

[Potjeh]

Luck has nothing to do with it. There's no randomness whatsoever in melee combat.

I don't know what may be causing a difference, but do rest assured that there have been no recent changes to combat. Aren't you just using another weapon?

[exewu]

Protip, remember to re-equip your sword after using a hammer.

[Darkren]

You can't sting, valor-strike, chop or cleave with a hammer...

Advantage? Non-full attack bar (has happened to me a few times)? Lack of rings? Lack of strength gear? Lower-end weapon?
