missed or soaked?

[xpanta]

Hi,

When I hit an enemy with Vraes, sometimes it shows no damage. How am I supposed to know if he hit and all damaged soaked by enemy's armor or he totally missed the target?

I need to know the priority of attributes to enhance using charms. Damage or accuracy?

Thanks.

xpanta- If the enemy moves forward, or crosses weapons towards you, they either block, or you have missed.... I always play with sound on, so I can listen to the sounds the blows make. Steel on steel means you were blocked. Steel on flesh means a hit- if no damage shows up, the hit was soaked...I

Thank you very much.

However I mostly play at nights when everybody is asleep. So, there should be a visual feedback, too. I think this is important.

I also would like to have a panel with stats for each character. For example hit/miss ratio, average damage, average soaked damage, etc. But I think this is for another thread.

xpanta- Any time! I do believe the page of in depth stats was on the roadmap, so hopefully at some point we can get it

I always play with the sound off as well. There are different animations for every monster that differentiate between hits and misses. I think every enemy will twist to the right if you hit but if you miss they do a cheeky side step move. Sometimes it takes a little time when you enter a new area to get used to the new animations but that information is definitely there visually!

I'd really like to see a message/combat log, even if we have to access it through the pause menu and it covered the fullscreen.

[xpanta]

Yes. Me too. I would like to have a log of combat messages to see data like miss, hits, blocked hits, damage absorbed, kind of spells cast, etc. I am in the cultist's dungeons and the game has become seriously hard. That kind of log would give me a better idea on where to put my next points and how to use my current gear. Combat is not just kills. I think it is a bit much more.

xpanta / bowuserthing - this request is on our roadmap. You should still be able to use the information provided to do a lot of the planning you are discussing if you check out the Combat Guide under Tips and Techniques. startradersrpg.proboards.com/thread/6711/combat-mechanics
