Ambush RT Bug 10/22/2017 11:35 PM CDT
I know this was brought up before, but I lost visibility of it.

When ambushing with a shield and one-handed weapon, I get a "failed to find opening with right handed attack" and then RT as if I was using TWC. I bugged it in game again, but wasn't sure if this is still being looked at, or what the resolution is. To be honest, I had completely forgotten why I untrained ambush and took that out of my hunting routine until just now. Missing an attack is problematic, missing one and then being stuck in RT for a few seconds more than you expected, can be deadly (it wasn't for me, but could be).

Thanks!

I'm working my way through a backlog of bugs, this one's on my list to dig into.

I'll look for that game bug you created as a basic starting point.

The same bug shows up if you ambush with a two handed weapon with a one handed weapon in the left, if that helps find it.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took.

For those concerned, I've a bug fix for this making it's way through the process. It got delayed a bit due to a higher priority issue, but I expect to get it out sometime this week.

Thanks to those that sent me snippets to help track it down.

This should now be fixed. Your RT for failed ambush strikes should be reduced ... or is it quadrupled? I always get those mixed up.

If you're seeing a "fail to find an opening for your right-handed strike" failure message and you're not TWC, something is probably off. Though, in that context, this behavior (and RT) was intended for TWC combat.

You are now in an offensive stance.

The heady rush from witnessing that spectacular kill fades away.

after retraining my 1 rank of TWC

You feel fully energetic again.

(Grapple was 4 and kick 5)

Lower RT for some UAC attacks intended?

...
All seems to be in order for the weapon use though, so I can go back to hunting Plane 4.
