I think you should look at the disarm code. The rate at which my weapon goes flying when disarmed by a NPC is exceedingly higher than when I disarm them, in fact I can spend an entire fight just disarming a NPC. There are other fights where I am scrambling for weapons as each one of mine gets flung out of my hand. |

Moved this to Bug Discussion instead of the Q&A thread, as no changes were (at least intentionally) made to disarm in the update. I will let people chime in whether they see a difference recently or not. |

Okay, i will check that out when I get a chance. There is a chance the new wield code may be re-equipping to fast... |

It's not just the rewield speed. The disarm to ground ratio is disproportionate vs npcs. they disarm pcs to ground with insanely high frequency and rarely ever get disarmed to ground themselves. |

I cant look at the code right now but this may not be a bug. There is a desire to make sure you have to defeat NPCs to get their weapon, not just disarm them and run. But that should probably only be true for limited items... |

I'm pretty sure it's related to the fact that NPCs have 25 dex, the same reason that dirt kicks always succeed when you're leveling. |

This may have been an issue before the pick up during combat changes, and now that those NPCs go Aggro on your face after you attack them, and many of them chase you down. |

But that should probably only be true for limited items... Perhaps then the check needs to be done so they aren't always (seemingly) automatically rearming themselves. The skill is mostly defeated if so much of the time the net result of successfully disarming a foe, the foe doesn't miss an attack even while rearming. I'd think what we have right now may a bit buggy. I understand why the weapon shouldn't so readily fall to the ground. |
