ho all

i mastered RM a couple days ago , and to finally use my new skills i went to dath solo grped to get enraged missions.

first one was a lot of fun, i killed the lair and ran in about15 secs. much btr than making cash by buffing

then i got to the second and i started strafe II on the lair - and nada. the rancors agroed me, but i never damaged the lair. ok , i thought maybe i am not in los and some rock is between me - i move , and again nada. i aim at a rancor - nada.

i return for a another pair of missins, thinking the first was bugged. first lair - down very fast.

second -i start it, then it freezes up.

now, i had no lag, ping was as uauall, i was doing the animiation, but no damage. by then the rancors started to get some damage on me, so i healed -no heal. again -no heal. nada. i did peace, clear etc. no heal.its like the combat que was locked.

eveythign else was normal - i could move, drive, etc. anyway - i died.

being stubarn i tried agian. again same story - died.

i had done a "full scan" that day.

this never happend to me as a commando or fencer - both of which i was for a long time.

so is this a known issue? i doubt it - i read the forumes here pretty exaustevly (here i give up on the spelling lol ) and never saw it.

is this some bug with rifles? was i having a bad day? anyone have this?

ty for any replies

It happens to me fairly often in PvP. Once I attacked an imp base. There was a few easy kills there but for some reason, my queue locked up on me half way through my second kill. I tried for 2 minutes to get it to unlock as I sat there and got beat down. I also lost a LOT of rating from taking a beating for so long before I died. I was extremly **edit** at the loss of my rating/buffs/armor/faction. This is an issue that needs to be looked into and fixed badly.

This happens to me killing mokk/janta quite a lot. It seems to be related to killing a mob with an AoE attack. Seems what happens when you kill something with an AoE is it force clears the combat queue. Now if between the second you kill something and the next second you attack some other creature attacks you, you auto lock on to whatever attacked you. The lair is never this thing since the lair never attacks. You still have the lair targeted as what you want to use the specials on, but since its not your combat target the game dumps those commands, spamming them too fast tho seems to "stick" your combat queue and no matter what you do/targetyou stop shooting. If you watch your combat spam it wills show that you are attacking the lair but no damage is actually being done, and you have something other than the lair (be it mokk, janta, or rancor) listed in your combat queue as what you should be attacking. The ONLY way I've found to fix this is RUN AWAY from the lair, once you go out of range your combat queue does a forced dump (note not even the manual combat queue clears this only a forced one of going out of range). After your queue dumps KILL EVERYTHING AROUND THE LAIR FIRST then go back to blowing up the lair.

I prefer NPCs on dant to rancors on dath for this fact, easier/faster to kill and the lair doesn't spawn new NPC's
