feed feature doesn't always work

[Corpser]

Another major problem ive had with feeding is occasionally ill go to feed and my character trys feeding on one then moves another and feeds on them instead once feeding is finished im full health but i still have the heart beat noise :/

example

im attacking mob A then i feed, my character jumps on mob A then quickly moved to mob B leaving mob A still alive mob B then dies and im still getting the feeding (heartbeat noise beating through my headphones)


EDIT: When i get time and find a decent free screen recorder that records computer audio ill record a few runs and see if it still happens.
(both my glitch and the one happening in this thread)

The problem is when the enemies aren't facing you, like a wall or something plain and simple.
It is very annoying and I sometimes miss out on my feeding by this.

The only other time it doesn't work good is when I lag.

Those are the "inactive" mobs I referred to in my previous post. They're basically performing scripted actions until they aggro on you. It's only when they've become "active" that they can be used for feeding.

@Art: This happens to me despite them facing me and being near me. :-/

For me, I think it happens more when lots of skills are being fired off. Seems like what I see as alive isn't always avail for feeding. Could be they're now targets of other people's or my skills.

Happens a lot when we're killing very fast.

Could be graphics being behind the mechanics. For example, when a teammate is beating on the boss, I can stand right there, trying to feed and failing, until I see the boss die. It's possible, the teammates' hits were all processed before my feed attempts.

im having trouble reproducing the bug lol why is it i cant do it when i want to but when i dont want it to happen it does :/

Yer i've had trouble with this too, I definitely find only taping once helps, though not always. Someone else taping at the same time also seems to cause problems, even though enough enemy are around. I am playing on android don't know if it's worse than pc but it feels like it might be.

I just spam the icon when it's ready and most of the time my vampire lunges to the nearest enemy and feeds on it.....

[Xaphan Fox]

It is not mission specific.. happens everywhere

It appears to be a pathing issue sometimes...

the mob is good to feed on.. but its in a position not identified with the path your character wants to railgun to feed on it.

Backing up some and moving the mob forward tends to fix this.. but its a delay that could mean death.

This happens in completely open areas.. with completely spawned enemies... no opening animations or anything.. they been beating on you a while.

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

They know about it already. They know about this and the double kills glitch in pvp but evidently they don't think either are a big deal. At least we got the pvp bug fixed where you joined finished games.

any update on this yet? It's still a problem.
