[Fixed] Focus drops for no reason

[Steveleeb 1,067]

I checked in CA help and in Kchat, something is definately amiss.

Focus is dropping from within a fight when not being hit. 

I had assumed maybe it dropped if i was trying to focus when i was hit, but that's not meant to happen either.
I've observed this for a while to be sure, it's definitely dropping when it shouldn't.
acting as if it's a Rift when it isn't.

I have also noticed this effect but didn't associate it with any bug. Please let us know if this is intentional or not...

could you post a combat log when this happens? curious to see what is happening during it.

[Alectrys 2,040]

Are you seeing this with other creatures as well?

Are you changing target at any time during the fight?

 

I'll get this added.

[Steveleeb 1,067]

yes and no

[JakeRivers 2,921]

ah my bad, the log i provided is the troll hitting me, sorry really need bifocols

 

[MrGARY 12,421]

look at your logs again, you ARE losing focus when being hit, the focus drop message is just always displayed first which is backwards

 

so instead of

 

[23:50:30] You lose some focus.
[23:50:30] You are now focused on the enemy and its every move.
[23:50:30] An old troll mauls you extremely hard in the left thigh and hurts it.

 

it should be

 

[23:50:30] An old troll mauls you extremely hard in the left thigh and hurts it.

[23:50:30] You lose some focus.
[23:50:30] You are now focused on the enemy and its every move.
 

[Alectrys 2,040]

Will leave the issue open for text order as opposed to a focus bug unless I hear otherwise.
