Attacking Targets That You don't Intend To Attack

from Demigod Forums

There has been a bug the last couple patches where heros will swing or shoot and hit targets other than the target you right click. For example Oak will swing his weapon and hit whatever is closest to him instead of the target you right click. This bug is particularly bad with QoT.

I only play generals and TB and it doesn't happen to me when I play TB so I have a feeling it involves the control of pets with units. Hopefully this can be fixed because right now I can't see any reason to play QoT with her wildly shooting all sorts of shit other than what I want her to hit.


Oh, it also happens when a target is fleeing from you... I.E. you're QoT and a player is running away and they aren't faster than you so you keep firing shots, but if creeps are between you and them your hero will priority the creeps over the target you specified.

I wish I could be more specific about the bug, but that's about it...

I noticed the creep AI is also messed up too, sometimes I have my minions and my hero attack the same target and the minions will just attack w/ is nearest them so i have to manually control both sets which isn't really a problem, but I'm pretty sure it's not intended to function so randomly.

I don't think this is new, I've pretty much noticed it since I started playing Demigod.  I just click on the fleeing opponent every second or two to make sure I maintain focus on them.

This is actually the same "bug" they have tried to fix in the recent 2 patches (also called the Stuck/blocking bug), what happens is when your DG is affected by this bug, he wont answer to any attack or skill use command, only to move commands. In this "stuck" mode, he will still attack everything IN RANGE as normal, that is why it appears he is attacking the wrong target. Basically he just stands around autoattacking with the built-in priorities, until you issue a MOVE command. And yes, this bug is NOT fixed yet. (despite what the patch notes state...)

Unfortunately, though the patch mentioned that this was supposed to be fixed. I've encountered this numerous times during my last game. It caused me to fail to kill a running enemy Demigod and fail to heal a dying teammate.

Lol, this bug seems to be ageless and immortal. Is that hard to fix this damn bug?

Anyway, the game barely works online, so maybe this bug isn't a priority...

It's been around for the last 2 'content patches' no counting all the small patches to fix random stuff. Prior to that I had never seen this bug and now it's happening every game.

Also, no it's not the same bug the said they fixed. The bug they tried to fix is when you use an ability such as bite or pounce THEN try to attack it fails. This is different, however, they might have the same origin.
