Attacking Glitch

I have scanned the first three pages of the forum and haven't seen anything in regards to the attack bug. In some cases I am unable to attack, the game just doesn't register my clicks. This has become really problematic during fights. This can be fixed if I press a menu key and then exit, but in some circumstances that brief second in the menu can cost me a boss fight or my group's lives. I don't want to be a cruddy group member, so if this could be addressed, that would be great!

Thank you!

    I have experienced this countless times too .. very annoying. I play a melee/dual-wield nightblade, and it pretty much ruins any survival in harder fights.

    Please look into it when you get time Devs!

    It happens to me probably once every couple of hours. Sometimes it isn't even fixed when I enter a menu. It's killed me every time and it is starting to get frustrating that this game was released with so many huge bugs.

    Happens to my husband and I as well. I theorize we're supposed to get disarmed or stunned and the animation/effect doesn't work. Or it could just be a hiccup in the combat mechanic. It's usually not too big of a deal until I play a healer... healer not being able to cast is a big deal. >_<

    It happens to me frequently. The only things you can do are block, WALK away, maybe drink a potion, or die. Even after the enemy is dead and you're out of combat it can be up to 30 seconds until you're able to move again.

    Actually, the animation getting stuck is another glitch in the combat that causes issues. Between the combat not responding to my clicks and it glitching during a "knockdown" or "trip" animation it makes battle really difficult and sometimes impossible.

    I don't like to complain about new releases on launch because they all have bugs/glitches, but this specific one makes playing the game very frustrating.

    Hopefully we get a response soon :)

    Happened to me frequently as a melee DK, until I saw a post by someone else who said that scrolling out to 3rd person view would allow you to at least keep fighting and move. It worked for me. Just a heads-up for anyone else to try it in case it'll work for them too.

    I tried the zoom, but it didn't work for me. I hope it works for others, though. :)
