Ok.. recently ive noticed this message more and more often.. usually i expect to see it when clearing underground bunkers as each room seems to act as an individual entity that you dont get LOS between.

But recently (post patch) ive been getting this message when SS2'ing outside..I can shoot normally at the target.. they can shoot at me... specials however wont work as this message keeps popping up. Surely if you can shoot and hit a normal shot, thena special should work too?

Another thing.. anyone else not having the area effect kick in? even though all mobs are engaging you and are tightly packed? Shot 3 woolmanders on Yavin outside their temple. Hit the targeted one each and every time.. the other two who were only 3m away didnt get touched.. no -counter- -dodge- or -miss- floaties either! all were in engaged mode and charging me down as i back peddled to keep the range.

Just me being unlucky/bugged? or is this more of the 'balancing' kicking in?

ps. nice of the dev's to let us know that the special costs were going to go up with that last patch.. I'm having to smoke my way through Gabaki like crazy now..

I've seen that message with a very thin bamboo sticks in my way... the ones you can't walk through.. and it was a Fambaa.. .. I'm such a sharpshooter that I MUST aim for a very specific spot you know.. so if that Bamboo stick is in the way, well then I can't hit the Fambaas giant ass or head or legs or anything else...

I've experienced the same out of sight error, today in fact. I was shooting normal shots and decided to throw in a special and it said i had lost sight of my target. It still however drains your mind pool. You pay the mind cost of a special without getting the shot off. I was out in the open on the flat area next to the imparial retreet on naboo. No brush, no rocks, no nothing.

As far as the AoE goes my experience has always been that it doesnt hit them all. Some of them it hits, some you get a floaty 'miss' and some just aren't affected at all, even when they're all in combat mode. I've just always considered the extra damage done as a bonus instead of expecting it on all or them.

The thing that is REALLY stupid... is that you can shoot through the ground..just not trees, buildings or anything as small as a stick of bamboo. I swear, when I can totaly see my target except for this one little sliver of a tree in front of him and it gives me that message I just get so frustrated. But at the same time, something can have 80 tons of earth between me and him and I can fire right at him.
