Game Mechanics: Double Attack Animation

[Karbuk]

Its possible its just me on my system I dont know if anyone else has the problem but I remember pretty well during live when using a two-handed weapon or even a 1H for that matter...When you get a double attack your character would swing the 2 handed weapon twice instead of once...back to back swings. Now when a double attack occurs your character only swings once but you can hear the audio of the second swing going off but the animation doesnt occur. Just a small thing I notice and wondering if its just me or an easy fix?

Thanks!

It swung twice, you're right.

This has been looked into before to no avail.

Animation packet is sent twice, so I dunno. Anyone interested: take a look at the public eqemu code and see what you think.

Maybe send it 3 times? due to triple attack maybe its all programmed and set to work like that...really stretching here i have no idea..worth a shot! lol

I would like to see if you even equip a 2 hander you constantly swing than the one pathetic swing there is when a double attack occurs, this is a tragedy.

Seems broken on pets too - my pet double attacks but only plays one attack animation.

Sorry to revive an old thread but has anyone found a fix to this?

Maybe the packets need to be staggered: send the first when the melee attack is actually happening, then another after 0.5 seconds or whatever. Kind of a hassle for such a tiny thing, though.

The client does tend to ignore animation triggers when it's already in the middle of non-idling animation (unless the trigger is state-changing, like sitting or FDing/dying).

Replace all double attacks with the Iksar 2hand slash animation.
