Posting for a friend:


Heavy thrown force of impact is tossing critters from the room. Probably intended but the problem is no messaging is being given as to WHERE they are getting tossed. Combat log and stats following.

Combat log snippet:

< Moving in with powerful grace, you throw a haralun hurlable war hammer at a giant black leucro. A giant black leucro fails to evade, taking the full blow. The hammer lands a good strike that barely pierces the skin to nick the chest, lightly stunning it flipping it through the air head over heels.
The hurlable war hammer falls to the ground!
[You're nimbly balanced and overwhelming opponent.]

Daylight clings like a fitful child to the thick forest and undergrowth. Though it is possible to venture in most directions, it promises to be a frustrating, difficult and painful battle against the stubborn resistance of the woods. Discerning the cardinal directions is a matter of guesswork and only close observation reveals anything of worth.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, southwest, west, northwest.


Some messaging as to which direction the body is flying would be appreciated.

I seriously don't get how its a benefit to lose your critter and with how over crowded some hunting areas get, I'm not sure I get why this ever got added to the game.

Maybe there's some point that I'm just not understanding, but my vote is just to can that system.

IMO it should be tied to a certain kind of attack, that way you can control when it happens. I can see it being a mega-valuable tool to use as a tank for creature control.

I believe it's a bug. LT was doing it in plat for a while. It's probably intentional at some point but not with the stats/etc. success level we're seeing.
