Fyrce might be right about the skills interfering. If you are experiencing this bug, please list all four of your mapped skills.

Actually it works for me mainly on bosses however mobs not so much. I've died many a times because of it.

Nope, failed many times at the boss. Even when he's the only mob left. Moving away, then back seems to work. Unless I'm dead or lagged a lot.

Sometimes, if you think you're dead, but you're moving and tapping that skull, you amazingly JUST make it.

Hell, I've fed on blank space before (formerly a mob there, but on my screen it just died) <--- I'm pretty sure this last part was lag or multi-action thing, where I get the graphic but I just beat the game in the 'death' determination. Lucky me.

I think you mean the charge disappears, but nothing happens. Sometimes this is due to other things interfering with the charging -- for example Knockdown. I think other 'spells' from mobs can discharge skills. I'm not all sure which ones yet, but lots of them, if they hit you first, your skill will discharge and you've got to feed, run away and/or recharge it or just tap it and spam your Powers.

Which makes me curious whether Feed can be discharged. It shouldn't be, but maybe it CAN be...?

Hello Spacetime Studios Community,

Now dont get me wrong....

I dont mean to complain.. But I am finally bringing this issue up. I am constantly having
problems feeding when I need to in the middle of combat. SOMETIMES, I even have to use
a few blood packs because of lag or whatever, along with tapping the screaming skull multiple
times before it even does anything. Other times, it works immediately as intended.
Please STS, I am a loyal fan of your work! Fix this issue for us! Thank YOU!

I also would like to add...
I wasn't aware of another thread for this, but when my blood thirst screams and I suck the blood of the
last enemy, the "heart beat" sound plays in an ongoing loop until I either suck the blood of another enemy,
or finish/quit the current mission. It's quite annoying, but not as annoying and costly as the glitch we are discussing
in this thread.

PS. I WILL TRY TO GET A VIDEO OF THIS GLITCH

Unholy Force (also doesn't work all the time now)
Vermin Swarm
Leap
Fatal Burst

EDIT.... Also sometimes the skills go off on their own (vs & leap) and sometimes when charging, they go off on their own.

**wvhills** · 05-08-2012, 01:23 PM

i have unholy force, shadow dance, and hell blade

**StompArtist** · 05-08-2012, 01:25 PM

Vermin Swarm - Leap - Hellblade - Fatal Burst

**Snakespeare** · 05-08-2012, 01:25 PM

I am experiencing this bug at L3 with only two skills, the default starting skills.

Lady_Pebbles · 05-08-2012, 01:27 PM

Yep, I experienced the same things as Fyrce. Minus the invisible enemy amd feeding off of it. XD

**Walkhardd** · 05-08-2012, 01:28 PM

My 2 deaths are because of feed fails. >_<

No, I mean when I hold down to charge it'll charge for a couple seconds (blink a couple times) then goes off (i.e. the attack is initiated w/effects showing then goes on cool down) where as I charge the others and they stay charged until I release/move my finger from the skill. This happens both during the middle of a mob in PvE & PvE --and-- when Im not even near a mob or other players and charge while moving towards them. But it does happen while standing still too.

**Cahaun** · 05-08-2012, 02:08 PM

Same thing happens to me a lot when I solo
Vermin Swarm - Leap - Curse - Shadow Dance

**bronislav84** · 05-08-2012, 02:28 PM

Just had this happen like three times in 5 minutes. Standing next to an enemy, pressing feed, mouth roars like I'm about to feed, character arches back to jump, then nothing happens and I continue getting hit with low health.

I'm using the lunge, Leap, Vermin, and Hell Blades.

This is what happens to me, too.

Toon 1: Fatal burst, hellblade, leap, unholy force

Toon 2: fatal burst, hellblade, vermin swarm, unholy force

All maps, mobs and bosses, solo and multi.

I've verified this happens to me when I attempt to feed off "inactive" mobs. What's an "inactive" mob? A mob that is basically in "placeholder" mode and hasn't yet engaged in activity. A good example would be any map that has werewolves. Ever come around a corner and see a pack of werewolves feeding on a body? Until they aggro, they're basically inactive; not only can you not feed on them , but your powers and attacks don't affect them either. I've run in quick and used leap in the middle of them, but nothing happens.

While the werewolves are a good example, I've verified this happens with other mobs that are just standing around, too. Until they aggro, I can't feed off them. As soon as they do, I can...

**Nassar** · 05-09-2012, 09:50 PM

This happens to me as well sometimes.

I've also had the following issues:
1) being killed WHILE feeding!
2) my skull is constantly fading as soon as any blood fills it up! Usually it only fades after it's been full for a while and you haven't fed.
