'impale' issues

[jade]

impale sc abdo
You plunge your Darjuan bloodletter cleanly into a nowbi scout's abdomen.
A nowbi scout utters a brief prayer to the fire god, and dies.
Lashing out fiercely, you slash a grim blackened steel Darjuan bloodletter at a nowbi scout. In a display of skill, you land a massive hit to his abdomen as a nowbi scout fails to dodge the attack.
[You are well balanced, healthy, and slightly tired.]
Roundtime: 14 sec.


im noticing double messaging using impale, particularly when achieving a gory fatal move. i also observed this happen with another player. i was wondering if this was intentional .. or some kind of built-in chance of second hit feature that i wasnt aware of.

Doesn't seem intentional. Thanks for the report.

I bugged this ingame a few days ago and Drake took note of it. The RT drops as if it's just one hit so I think it's just a messaging error.

impale guard head
You sever arteries and puncture organs with a powerful thrust to a royal guard's abdomen.
A royal guard sighs, "For the Crown." and collapses.
Focused intently, you slash a slender black vibro-sabre with an elaborate rose pattern etched down the length of the blade at a royal guard. With little resistance, you land a strong hit to his abdomen as a royal guard fails to dodge the attack.
[You are balanced, healthy, and well rested.]
Roundtime: 10 sec.

This is an example of both of the impale messaging bugs, basically. For me, it's 14 RT to do the impale so to me the 10 says that the second hit didn't count anyway and wasn't counted against me.

You can see the slash messaging with the second one, but the killing blow shows that it's really thrusting instead. I hope that helps.

..and yeah I missed the head both times but still.. I killed it!

Yeah I noticed that in previous logs. That indicates the attack is probably working as intended in terms of damage type and stuff, but there's still the fact the attack should end when the crit death occurs, and we'll correct that. Thanks for the post.
